Hotels for Korn

Nu-metal's biggest name still packs arenas full of fans who grew up on detuned riffs and Jonathan Davis's bagpipes-and-scat-singing theatrics. Expect a heavy, sweaty crowd skewing toward those who've followed the band since the '90s alongside a younger contingent discovering them through streaming. A midweek evening slot means an early finish for the working week, but no less intensity once the lights drop. Circle pits and mass singalongs are all but guaranteed.

Set right in the heart of Birmingham beside the canals and Brindleyplace, this city-centre arena hosts big-name concerts, boxing and family shows. Its location is a real draw, with waterside bars, restaurants and the buzz of Broad Street all within a short walk. New Street and Snow Hill stations are close, and the wider West Midlands is easy to reach. Booking a central room means you can enjoy the canalside dining before a show and be back at your door within minutes afterwards.
