SLIPKNOT, one of the most thrilling and visceral musical
collectives on the planet, are excited to announce a return to the road for
their incendiary 2021 incarnation of the KNOTFEST ROADSHOW. Support comes from three Grammy-nominated heavy
music luminaries, KILLSWITCH
ENGAGE, FEVER 333 and CODE ORANGE.
The 28-date run, produced by Live Nation,
kicks off following the band’s previously announced KNOTFEST IOWA hometown show in Des Moines on September 25th. The KNOTFEST ROADSHOW’s first official date happens at Tinley Park, IL on
September 28th, with the tour then snaking its way across the US, wrapping up
in Arizona in early November.
SLIPKNOT
frontman, Corey Taylor informs us:
“With the world opening up, it’s time to
get excited about LIFE again. To get back to LIFE again. This tour is a long
time coming and we hope you’re as excited to see it as we are to play it. Stay
safe, stay (sic) and we’ll see you soon.”
Tickets will be available on pre-sale to KNOTFEST subscribers
from 10am local time on June 2nd, with a general on-sale from 10am local on
June 4th, over at KnotfestRoadshow.com.
Last week SLIPKNOT also confirmed the exciting news that they have
returned to the studio and are working on new material, with artistic visionary
and percussionist, M.Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan confirming to UK media that they are
making “God music”. Be the first to see exclusive ‘behind the scenes’ footage
of the band at work by subscribing to join the community over at KNOTFEST.COM, where you’ll also be eligible to pre-order both KNOTFEST ROADSHOW and KNOTFEST IOWA tickets, ahead of the on-sale date to the general
public.
SLIPKNOT’s live show continues to thrill their fiercely loyal
following, selling out bigger venues with each outing. Reviews of their last
sold-out European arena tour, which was completed mere weeks before the world
locked down, were unanimous in their praise, with Kerrang! awarding London’s
sold-out 20,000 cap O2 Arena show a 5/5 rating, declaring “there is no
better metal band on earth than this.”
The band’s current album, the critically
lauded We
Are Not Your Kind is highlighted by the
singles, Nero Forte, Solway Firth,
and the LP’s lead track Unsainted, which was recently certified Gold in the U.S. The
three tracks feature an M. Shawn Crahan-directed official music video, each of
which trended worldwide on YouTube (all videos) upon release – with Unsainted at #1 globally for a full 24 hours.

About
SLIPKNOT: SLIPKNOT sit alongside musical institutions like Metallica and
Iron Maiden, as one of a select few bands whose legacy is secured within heavy
music’s elite. The band emerged at the end of the 20th Century from the
American mid-western town of Des Moines, IA and quickly established themselves
as the most enigmatic, provocative and aggressive music collective of the
modern era. 1999’s eponymous debut is widely viewed as a modern day classic and
was honoured by Metal Hammer magazine as the ‘Best Debut of the Last 25 Years.’
The release racked up double RIAA platinum certification in the US, with many
of SLIPKNOT’s subsequent releases achieving platinum status both
in the US and around the globe. To date, the band have been nominated for 10
Grammy Awards (winning in 2006 for ‘Before I Forget’), as well as scoring 12
Platinum and 41 Gold album certifications around the world and over 3.2 billion
YouTube views and counting. SLIPKNOT’s
fanbase is as unwavering as it is ubiquitous – the band’s most recent studio
album, 2019’s ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ debuted at #1 in the Official Album Charts
of 12 countries around the world, including the US, UK, Australia, Canada and
Mexico and in the Top 5 of an additional 12 countries including Germany, France
and Sweden.
