Slipknot are going big in 2027, taking their famously intense live show into some of the world’s most recognizable stadiums for a massive international tour.
The masked metal veterans will launch the “(sic)est Stadium Tour” on July 3 at Wembley Stadium in London. The show will stand as the band’s only announced UK and European appearance on the trek, with Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore and Hatebreed joining the bill.
From there, Slipknot will cross the Atlantic and begin the North American portion of the tour July 16 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
The itinerary puts the band in several landmark venues, including Citi Field in New York, Soldier Field in Chicago and Fenway Park in Boston. The tour will also hit SoFi Stadium in Southern California before arriving at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park on August 15.
Bring Me The Horizon will serve as direct support throughout the North American run, turning an already sizable stadium tour into an especially heavy double bill.
Slipknot will also rotate an extensive roster of additional performers across individual dates. Acid Bath, Lamb of God, Motionless In White, Lorna Shore, Kublai Khan TX, Polyphia, Loathe and Vended are among the acts scheduled to appear.
The concerts are being designed as more than simply larger versions of the band’s usual live production. Slipknot are preparing new staging and a new set built around material from across their career, giving the stadium run its own identity.
After completing the North American dates, Slipknot will head south in September. The final stretch includes stops in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia.
The scale of the announcement was matched by launch celebrations in Los Angeles and London. Fans were offered early opportunities to purchase tickets and limited merchandise, while a towering, flaming version of Slipknot’s familiar Tribal S provided an appropriately subtle centerpiece. By Slipknot standards, anyway.
Presales begin September 29, with tickets scheduled to go on sale to the general public October 2 at 10 a.m. local venue time.
More than two decades after becoming one of heavy music’s most recognizable acts, Slipknot are preparing to spend another summer testing just how much noise a stadium can handle.
