A legendary evening at MetLife Stadium has come to an end: no less than four bands performed there last night, with none other than System Of A Down and Korn headlining. The show was opened by Polyphia and Wisp. After the concert announced for August 28 sold out quickly as expected, the additional show for last night was added. Tonight, fans once again have the chance to see the two heavyweights of Nu Metal live together.
Live tribute to Ozzy Osbourne
The shows didn’t just include the famous classics of the main acts. In addition to songs like System Of A Down’s “Chop Suey!” and Korn’s “Freak on a Leash”, things got highly emotional toward the end of System Of A Down’s set. The band performed the Black Sabbath cover “Snowblind” live for the first time since 2002, in memory of the recently deceased Ozzy Osbourne: a legend of rock music remains unforgettable.

Korn Setlist
With this setlist, Korn once again delivered a journey through their more than 30-year career. A special place was given to their self-titled debut album from 1994, with several fan favorites like “Blind,” “Clown,” “Shoots and Ladders,” and “Divine.” Follow the Leader (1998) also had its rightful place with “Got the Life” and the indispensable “Freak on a Leash.” From the 2000s, especially “Here to Stay” and “Y’All Want a Single” stood out, tracks that helped shape the band’s Nu Metal era. More recent works were just about included, with songs like “Rotting in Vain” (The Serenity of Suffering, 2016) and “Cold” (The Nothing, 2019).
