Korn Cancel Gigs After Jonathan Davis Tests Positive To Covid

Korn frontman Jonathan Davis has tested positive for COVID-19.

Korn has postponed six shows on their current US tour – and cancelled a further two – after axing a gig in Scranton, Pennsylvania on Saturday just hours before they were due on stage.

In a statement, the group said: “On Saturday, we received the unfortunate news that Jonathan tested positive for COVID, and needless to say, we had to postpone the show last minute.

“As a result of his positive test, we also need to reschedule the next handful of shows.

“As always, our primary goal is to ensure the safety of everyone involved, so this is something that has to be done.

“Jonathan’s spirits are high, and he’s resting and recovering now.

“We’re as disappointed as you are about the circumstances, but we’ll get through it though, and we can’t wait to see you once we’re back, firing on all cylinders once again.”

The shows due to take place between August 14 and 22 – including stops in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New Hampshire – have been moved to late September and early October, while two other shows in New York (Darien Centre and Syracuse) have been cancelled “due to scheduling conflicts”.

Meanwhile, the band has been performing live with Suicidal Tendencies bassist Ra Diaz, who has stepped in for Reginald ‘Fieldy’ Arvizu as he’s taking a hiatus from touring.

Last month, Korn guitarist Brian ‘Head’ Welch gave fans an update on his bandmate and hailed him as a “good dude”.

He said: “Fieldy is good, man. He’s at home, and he’s with his kids. I wanna say that Fieldy’s a good dad. He’s a good dude, and he has his life structured.”

Rising Festival, Beth Gibbons, Hamer Hall 1st June 2025 #REVIEW

The blue-coloured- light drenched the stage, signifying the trademark colour of Rising. Beth Gibbons is here as part of Rising festival to showcase her solo album, Lives Outgrown, with a seven- piece band of musicians. Gibbons last toured Melbourne 15 years ago with proponents of trip hop, Portishead, appearing at Harvest Festival. There she was bathed in the golden afternoon rays of sunlight, but now she’s obscured by stage lights in alternating hues. Her musicians are backlit and positioned either side of the stage in groups of three and the keyboardist is in the centre behind Gibbons.
