Hotels for Korn

A Halloween night show from a band whose sound has always leaned towards the dark and theatrical, so expect the date on the calendar to shape the staging and the crowd's own costumes. Nu metal's biggest name plays to a crowd spanning original fans now in their forties alongside teenagers who found the band through streaming.

The set moves between crushing riffs and moments of genuine catharsis, with a mosh pit that rarely lets up. An early evening start means a long night still ahead once the last note fades.

A long-established fixture of Manchester's live scene, the AO Arena sits right in the city centre beside Victoria station, hosting arena tours, comedy and sport throughout the year. Its central location puts the Northern Quarter's bars, restaurants and late-night spots within an easy walk. Victoria station's trains and Metrolink trams are on the doorstep, with Piccadilly a short distance away. Staying centrally means you can stroll to the show and back, making the most of the city's nightlife once the gig ends.
