Slipknot will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their classic 1999 self-titled album with a Summer 2024 North American tour. The masked metallers have also confirmed that former Sepultura stickman Eloy Casagrande is their new drummer.
The “Here Comes the Pain” tour will feature Knocked Loose as direct support on the entire run, while Orbit Culture and Vended (featuring the sons of Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Clown) will split opening duties on the two-leg outing.
The first leg kicks off August 6th in Noblesville, Indiana, and runs through an August 17th show in Toronto. The second leg launches September 7th in Auburn, Washington, and wraps up with the recently announced Knotfest Iowa festival on September 21st in Slipknot’s hometown of Des Moines.
A Knotfest.com artist pre-sale begins today (April 30th) at noon ET, while a Live Nation pre-sale starts Wednesday (May 1st) at 10 a.m. local time using the code SOUNDCHECK, followed by a general on-sale launching Friday (May 3rd) at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Fans can also look for deals or get tickets to sold-out dates via StubHub, where your purchase is 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s Fan Protect program.
The North American headlining dates are in addition to a number of previously announced US festival gigs, including Welcome to Rockville, Sonic Temple, Rocklahoma, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock.
As seen at their recent club show in Pioneertown and co-headlining appearance at Sick New World, Slipknot are sporting 1999-inspired red jumpsuits and masks for the 25th anniversary tour dates, while performing a number of songs from the self-titled LP.
“We loved what we did with the first record but we didn’t even know if there was gonna be anything after that,” recalled guitarist Jim Root in a press release. “We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours – those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us.”
Meanwhile, after much speculation, Slipknot have identified Eloy Casagrande as their new drummer following last year’s ouster of Jay Weinberg. A new photo of the band was posted on Slipknot’s Instagram account on Monday night (April 29th), and Casagrande was tagged in the picture. Interestingly, the band has still not identified the mysterious member who replaced longtime keyboardist Craig Jones last year.
