In 2016 to promote his double album ''Angelic 2 the Core'', he performed with ''Corey's Angels'' on the ''[[Today (American TV program)|Today Show]]''. The album was a tribute to [[Michael Jackson]] and [[Corey Haim]] but the performance went viral with many online mocking it, including ''[[Rolling Stone (magazine)|Rolling Stone]]'' who labeled it "bizarre".<ref>{{cite magazine|url= https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/watch-corey-feldmans-bizarre-today-show-interview-odder-performance-111944/|title= Watch Corey Feldman's Bizarre 'Today Show' Interview, Odder Performance|magazine= Rolling Stone|date= September 16, 2016|access-date= November 5, 2023|archive-date= November 5, 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231105151544/https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-news/watch-corey-feldmans-bizarre-today-show-interview-odder-performance-111944/|url-status= live}}</ref> [[Anthony Fantano]] ranked it as both the worst album of 2016 and of the 2010s.<ref>{{Citation |title=15 Worst Albums of the 2010s | date=January 15, 2020 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-gAv3pO8iM |access-date=February 20, 2024 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=TOP 10 WORST ALBUMS OF 2016 | date=December 20, 2016 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebQcgnlz5SU |access-date=February 20, 2024 |language=en}}</ref>

In 2023, Feldman performed at the [[punk rock]] music festival [[Riot Fest]] in Chicago, Illinois.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/riot-fest-2023-lineup/|title= Riot Fest 2023: Foo Fighters, The Postal Service, The Cure among headliners|website= [[CBS News]]|date= May 16, 2023|access-date= November 6, 2023|archive-date= November 6, 2023|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20231106191625/https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/riot-fest-2023-lineup/|url-status= live}}</ref> The booking of Feldman was met with criticism. Julie River of ''[[New Noise Magazine]]'' wrote, "Booking Corey Feldman for this show felt a little bit mean-spirited. If you've ever seen a video of Feldman performing live, you'll notice it's completely overdone, pretentious, and just outright bizarre." River described the performance writing, "The music is mediocre at best, but Feldman's choreography and stage theatrics are positively laughable... Feldman spent an inordinate amount of time on stage complaining about his ex-wives, which felt like a Hollywood cliché and a tad misogynistic".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://newnoisemagazine.com/galleries/festival-review-riot-fest-day-2-chicago-il/|title=FESTIVAL REVIEW: RIOT FEST DAY 2 IN CHICAGO, IL|website=[[New Noise Magazine]]|access-date=November 6, 2023|archive-date=November 6, 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231106191432/https://newnoisemagazine.com/galleries/festival-review-riot-fest-day-2-chicago-il/|url-status=live}}</ref>
