The big review: Good Things Festival 2024
Sydney gets rocked as Korn, Loathe, Sleeping With Sirens and more take a noisy pre-Christmas trip down under…
Korn have shared a 50-minute extended version of their album release show for The Nothing.
If, like thousands of other fans, you missed out on Korn's super-exclusive The Nothing release show last year, the band have not only put some incredible footage from the gig up, they've released it as part of an extended cut film with (remotely done) interviews spliced between the performance.
The gig was filmed in Los Angeles last September to support the release of their 4K-rated 13th studio album, but is seeing the light of day now to help keep everyone's boredom at bay amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“Welcome to our album release concert for our record The Nothing,” says guitarist Brian ‘Head’ Welch at the beginning of the clip. “It’s so crazy with all this staying at home and binge-watching Netflix and whatnot, but it’s good for the health of humanity and hopefully we get through this soon.”

“The number one thing for us all to do is stay home, stay away from each other so this thing can play out and we can get back to some kind of normality in our lives,” adds frontman Jonathan Davis. “We want to put this together so you can enjoy it while you’re sitting at home.”
A full description of the video reads: “On September 13, 2019, we held a private event for some of our biggest fans in Los Angeles, CA to celebrate the release of our album, The Nothing. This special director’s cut concert film, directed and edited by Sébastien Paquet, is for all of you who have supported us and weren’t able to attend this exclusive event inside of a living art installation. We hope you enjoy the experience.”
And with a setlist featuring live debuts of Can You Hear Me, Cold and Finally Free, plus other gems like Falling Away From Me, Here To Stay and Faget, there's plenty to enjoy…
