Korn and Staind at iThink Financial Amphitheatre

Korn kicks off its 28-date North American tour on Thursday at iThink Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach. It’s been a while since fans have been able to catch the nu-metal pioneers on stage, and in the meantime, they have been placated only by the band’s last studio album, The Nothing, which dropped in late 2019. Frontman Jonathan Davis has set tongues wagging in recent weeks, announcing that the band has finished writing its follow-up. Joining Korn on tour is fellow nu-metal band Staind. 6:30 p.m. Thursday, August 5, at iThink Financial Amphitheatre, 601-7 Sansburys Way, West Palm Beach; 561-795-8883; livenation.com.

Jay Electronica at the Oasis

Since he first appeared on MySpace in 2007 and the internet anointed him one of rap’s next greats, Jay Electronica’s next move has been shrouded in mystery.
