• X (formerly Twitter)

It’s official, maggots! After confirming the dates and venues in an exclusive announce with triple j’s The Racket , Slipknot have now rolled out the full line-up of acts playing the first ever Australian edition of Knotfest.

Joining the masked metallers in taking over Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane in March of next year will be international heavy-hitters Megadeth, Trivium, Amon Amarth, Spiritbox, In Flames, Knocked Loose, Story Of The Year, Malevolence and Bad Omens, in their first visit to the country.

Some of Australia’s loudest and proudest bands are in the mix, too. We're talking Parkway Drive - fresh from new album Darker Still  and ABC's  Australian Story doco 'Getting Heavy' - the mighty Northlane, Tassie roarers Alpha Wolf, and Melbourne’s Void of Vision.

The news of Knotfest Australia lands after Slipknot’s latest album The End, So Far debuted atop the ARIA Album Charts (their fourth Australian #1 release) and marks their first tour Down Under since 2016.

Slipknot co-founder and percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan says it’s an “honour and a blessing” to finally bring Knotfest Down Under.

“We love Australia, it’s just part of our lineage” he told Lochlan Watt on triple j’s The Racket on Tuesday (25 October). “We’ve been going there from the beginning, so it doesn’t’ feel natural to not play there for so long.”

He also spoke about giving maggots the hit-packed setlist they want, future Slipknot projects, and the ‘embarrassing noise’ and “bullshit that comes with releasing a new album.” Read the full interview here .

The inaugural Knotfest took place in Slipknot’s native Iowa back in 2012 and has since expanded to international events in Mexico, Japan, France, Germany, Chile, Colombia, and Brazil.

Tickets are on sale Monday 7 November, 9am but Knotfest Premium Members get first dibs in a pre-sale kicking off 3 Nov. View the full details below and more info at  Knotfest.com/Australia .

SLIPKNOT Announces Fall 2022 'Knotfest Roadshow' Tour, BLABBERMOUTH.NET Presale

Hot on the heels of the massive second leg of "Knotfest Roadshow 2022" tour, SLIPKNOT announced today that it will be hitting the road for its fall tour, this time with horror-themed metal maestros ICE NINE KILLS and metalcore titans CROWN THE EMPIRE . Produced by Live Nation , the run will kick off on September 20 in Nashville, Tennessee and hit an additional eight cities before culminating in Irvine, California on October 7.

A special BLABBERMOUTH.NET presale will begin on Thursday, June 16 at 10:00 a.m. local time and end on Thursday, June 16 at 10:00 p.m. local time. When prompted , type in the presale code "UNSAINTED" to access tickets before the general public. General on-sale will be Friday, June 17 at 10 a.m. local time.

2021 marked a banner year for SLIPKNOT . Making a triumphant return to the road, "Knotfest Roadshow 2021" tour sold out amphitheaters across the country, bookended with the record-breaking Knotfest Iowa and the biggest headline show of SLIPKNOT 's career, Knotfest Los Angeles at Banc of California Stadium, where they debuted their first new music in two years — the furious "The Chapeltown Rag" , taken from the highly anticipated new SLIPKNOT album, expected this year. In addition, they topped the bills of multiple, internationally renowned festivals, including Riot Fest , Rocklahoma , Inkcarceration , Welcome To Rockville and more.

Keeping this jaw-dropping momentum going into 2022, SLIPKNOT is set to wrap its spring run of "Knotfest Roadshow 2022" tour this week. The first two legs of the tour have seen the band play a staggering 40 dates in arenas nationwide. The first leg featured IN THIS MOMENT and WAGE WAR while the second leg featured CYPRESS HILL and HO99O9 .

"Knotfest Roadshow" fall 2022 tour dates:

Sep. 20 - Nashville, TN @ Bridgestone Arena Sep. 21 - Springfield, MO @ Great Southern Bank Arena Sep. 24 - Alpharetta, GA @ Ameris Bank Amphitheatre Sep. 27 - Austin, TX @ Germania Insurance Amphitheater Sep. 28 - Dallas, TX @ Dos Equis Pavilion Oct. 01 - Albuquerque, NM @ Isleta Amphitheater Oct. 02 - Phoenix, AZ @ Ak-Chin Pavilion Oct. 04 - Salt Lake City, UT @ USANA Amphitheatre Oct. 07 - Irvine, CA @ FivePoint Amphitheater

Earlier this month, SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor said the band's new album would be released "very soon." The follow-up to 2019's "We Are Not Your Kind" was produced by Joe Barresi , who has previously worked with AVENGED SEVENFOLD , QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE and CHEVELLE , among many others.

In February, Taylor told SiriusXM 's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" about the musical direction of the new SLIPKNOT material: "It's really killer, man. It's darker than 'We Are Not Your Kind' , but there's a ton of melody. I've been telling everybody that it's like a heavier version of 'Vol. 3[: (The Subliminal Verses)]' . It's got so many textures and layers. The heavy stuff has attack but the melodic stuff you can just sink your teeth in; there's a lot of great melodies and hooks. I'm really, really excited for people to hear it."

"We Are Not Your Kind" was released in August 2019. The LP sold 118,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in its first week of release to land at position No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Furthermore, the album made an impact worldwide with No. 1 debuts in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia, Canada, Japan, Ireland, Belgium, Portugal and Finland, as well as Top 5 debuts in Germany, France, Norway, Italy, Austria, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Poland, Spain and New Zealand.

Anyone fancy a holiday?!

Slipknot Are Bringing Back Knotfest Roadshow for 38-Date Trek

• By Larisha Paul

Larisha Paul

Slipknot are gearing up for the return of Knotfest Roadshow this spring as headliners on the two-part tour. Special guests In This Moment and Jinjer will join them on the first leg of the 38-date trek, and Cypress Hill and Ho99o9 on the second.

The initial leg of the tour begins on March 16 at Fargo, North Dakota’s FargoDome, and wraps on April 17 in Vancouver at Pepsi Live at Rogers Arena. Knotfest Roadshow will pick back up at Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Philadelphia, on May 18 and extend through June 18 where Slipknot will close out the tour with a show at North Island Credit Union Amphitheater in Chula Vista, California. Tickets for Knotfest Roadshow 2022 are available starting Friday, Jan. 21 .

“Even with everything going on in the world right now, we’re still extremely excited to come back out in the states,” Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor shared in a statement. Taylor previously tested positive for Covid-19 this past summer, despite being vaccinated. “This is the worst I’ve ever been sick in my life; had I not been vaccinated, I shudder to think how bad it would’ve been,” he said. “But, because I had that extra little bit of protection, it definitely helped me get through it. So go, go, go. If you’re still on the fence, I’m telling you right now, it’s the best thing you can do for yourself.”

Knotfest Roadshow 2022 will welcome performances of Slipknot’s first new music in two years, including “ The Chapeltown Rag ,” their latest release shared at the tail end of last year. The single will appear on the heavy metal band’s forthcoming seventh studio album, out later this year.

The record will mark their third without founding member Joey Jordison who was removed from the band’s lineup in 2013 citing transverse myelitis, a form of multiple sclerosis that hindered his ability to perform. In July 2021, the drummer died at the age of 46.

Recent tour reviews

I've seen Slipknot quite a few times now, and they ALLWAYS deliver a remarkable show, with proper energy, musical quality in their performance, and almost theatrical charismatics that keeps blowing me away.

The Telenor Arena's sound ALMOST ruined the experience, as it just can't handle this sort of scale audience, the whole audio-experience seems dull and horribly low quality if you move anywhere towards the middle of the crowd or backwards in the standing section of the audience.

First part of slipknot and All of behemoth was simply drowned out, and they somehow managed to turn the sound up a notch throughout the show.. but I won't be going back there, unless they either lower the prices or upp their sound-quality.

Slipknot were amazing, first time seeing them live. However... the sound system was dire, we really had to shift forward to hear what was going on. We could only hear the bassline and some drums. Couldn’t hear guitars or vocals clear. My videos picked the sound up a little, but you can hear everyone talking it was that quiet. Only reason I say this is that I saw Korn play with Limp Bizkit at this same venue (Arena Birmingham) in 2016... and Ray Luziers drums standing at the back of the venue near where you walk in, his snares and kicks hit you in the chest like thunder, and you could hear the clarity of the vocals, guitars, bass, everything. This time around for Slipknot unfortunately the sound just wasn’t on par which is a shame

Origionally written for kingcrimsonprog.wordpress.com

Since I hadn’t seen them since Vol. 3, there is a lot of material I have never caught live yet. As I said, I like every Slipknot album. (Probably every Slipknot song if you don’t count demos and remixes). Unfortunately, they didn’t play anything off of ‘Gray Chapter this time, which I was a bit gutted by. I really like that album and would have loved to see something like ‘Custer,’ ‘AOV’ or ‘Sarcastrophe’ live. ‘Custer’ especially. From the first time I heard it I said to myself ”that is a song that will be in their setlists forevermore.” They also only played one song from All Hope Is Gone. I guess that’s reason enough to try see them a few more times, as I really want to catch more songs I haven’t heard live before. I’m keen to hear it all.

But given how great the new album is, I was most keen to see material from We Are Not Your Kind live. I was thinking about how much I wanted it on such a regular basis since end of the week that the album was released and it had all started to click with me. Turns out I was in luck, because if you count the 2018 stand-alone single ‘All Out Life’ which technically isn’t on the album (but which features the lyric ‘we are not your kind’ repeatedly chanted and I always mentally count as being part of that album, and have attached to the album in my itunes and on my phone and just pretend it is on the album anyway), then they played 5 new songs. Aforementioned ‘All Out Life.’ Big single ‘Unsainted,’ which opened the show. The dark, weird, almost formless album closer ‘Solway Firth.’ The groovy ‘Birth Of The Cruel’ and the stompy new single ‘Nero Forte.’ It was great to see this much new material live. It shows you how much confidence the band must have in the new album, and given the audience reaction, this confidence was well placed.

Not counting intros and outros over the speakers, there were 17 tracks. 6 of which I had never seen live before. Pretty great value. No wonder they didn’t have room for much material off All Hope’ or ‘Gray Chapter. The rest of the set featured the big singles from Vol 3; ‘Duality,’ ‘Before I Forget’ and ‘Vermillion’ as well as many classic concert favourites from the debut like ‘(Sic),’ ‘Surfacing’ and ‘Eyeless’ and topped off with a few of the heavier numbers from Iowa, like ‘Disasterpiece’ and ‘People=Shit.’

Slipknot are pretty great at mixing up sets, and not just playing the same thing every tour, swapping in a surprise or two, and dropping a few expected tunes now and again for a deep cut. The (sort of) surprises in the set were first album bonus-track ‘Eeyore’ and Iowa deepish-cut ‘New Abortion’ although I have seen both live before and both have been on official live releases so not super surprising if you want to be pedantic, but I was satisfied. In terms of dropping an expected tune, this time they dropped ‘Spit It Out’ which is almost unfathomable, as therefore they didn’t do the ‘’Jump The Fuck Up’’ moment, (where they make the whole crowd crouch for a few minutes then jump up in unison) but I’ve had that three times and on all their live albums too, so I was glad to lose it if it meant more time for new songs.

In terms of stage show, it was the biggest and best I’d ever seen them. There were videoscreens all over the place (even on the drums). There was pyro and steam. There were fireworks. There was a Nikki Sixx style bass guitar flamethrower like on Motley Crue’s The End DVD. There were treadmills which the more expendable members like the DJ, Sid, would go and play about on when not needed musically. He did the moonwalk on a treadmill at one point. Their setlist didn’t feature many turn-table focused songs this time so I guess he’s got to do something. Clown got a flaming baseball bat out for the keg smashes on ‘Duality.’

Performance and sound wise, it was really good. That’s not always a given. As much as love this band, they aren’t what I’d call consistent. Some bands are just perfect every single time (Hatebreed spring to mind). Slipknot are not one of those bands. I mean, when you have 9 members, complex awkward songs with atypical structures, and a singer inside a mask running around, its hard to get everything sounding perfect…

If you look across all of Slipknot’s official and unofficial live releases, you’ll notice they have been really hit and miss over the years in terms of both vocals and audio mix. Even on just their Voliminal DVD, which features footage from a few different shows, the live stuff goes from amazing to quite poor. The 9.0 live album which I mentioned earlier features material from across a whole tour, and that album has quite poor live vocals and subpar sound mixes. Conversely though the Disasterpeices and (Sic)nesses DVDs have superb live vocals and mixes and are absolutely must-own. The pro shot live stuff from various festivals on the first two album cycles is really mixed also. I remember MTV2 used to have footage of the band on the Iowa cycle in Germany, where Corey’s vocals were really muffled and the kick drums overpowered all the guitars. When I first got into them, on the debut album cycle, the only live stuff available was bootlegs, and they were always pretty rough. You could get pirate CDs from shows like their first time in London or from dates on the US Ozzfest, but you could tell from the CD that Corey was running around, bouncing and going crazy so much, that the vocals would suffer. Even my own live experiences of the band were mixed. When I saw them live myself in Belfast the mix and vocals were brilliant and its still one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. When I saw them headlining on the Vol. 3 cycle, the vocals were poor (he has discussed in interviews over the years that he was drinking heavily in that period) but the mix was great. When I saw them supporting Metallica on that same album cycle, the mix was poor but the vocals were good. As I said, its not a given.

I guess there’s a lot of variables for the soundmen to get right and lots of chances to get it wrong. Depending on how much running and bouncing singer Corey Taylor does, and how his mask affects the microphones, there’s a big gap between his best and his worst shows.

However, tonight it was great. It was pretty close to a perfect show. I mean, if I had to pick pedantic holes in it then I guess the guitar-intro to ‘Surfacing’ sounded a bit weird, and the vocals on the chorus to ‘Nero Forte’ were a bit thin, but otherwise it was magnificent.

The sound mix was perfectly balanced. Even the additional percussion was actually audible and you could tell why they have three drummers. The bass was thick. The guitars were clear and didn’t go muddy. The drum kit was powerful and you could pick every element out individually. The vocals were just right. I couldn’t have asked for a better mix.

The band were energetic and enthusiastic and played like a band on the rise. Drums were absolutely battered. Riffs were practically thrown into the crowd. I guess buoyed by the success of the new album, they are revitalised and fired-up. This was definitely the 2nd-best I ever seen them live; sceond only to that very first time I saw them, back in Belfast in 2002, which boasted many more songs from my favourite album, Iowa, in the set, and featured the classic line-up when they were still mysterious and I was wide-eyed and young. (And to be fair, my memory of that could in fact be a little clouded in a rose-tinted teenage nostalgia).

I always regretted not seeing them live on the last two album cycles, but I would have been heartbroken to miss them this time. Thank goodness for the weird phone/website discrepancy! This was awesome. One of the bands that have meant the most to me in my whole life, playing brilliantly, with a great setlist and sounding great. This is going to be a show I remember for a long time.

Slipknot announce one-off intimate gig tomorrow

It will mark the band's first show with their new drummer

Slipknot are set to play a one-off intimate gig this week – find out more below.

• READ MORE:   Slipknot’s Clown talks 2024 tour and new material: “This band has never been happier”

Per the band’s new You Can’t Kill Me website – which first made headlines after a new billboard popped up in California earlier this month – the band will be playing to a crowd of 350 attendees at the Pappy + Harriet’s barbecue bar in Pioneertown, California on Thursday (April 25).

Tickets to the event are now completely sold out, but cost USD$9 per ticket, with a strict limit of two tickets per purchase. It will mark the band’s first show of the year, as well as their first show with the Iowan metal band’s new drummer, who has yet to be confirmed.

Slipknot will be donating all of the show’s proceeds to the Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter and BOYS & GIRLS CLUB of the Hi Desert.

The upcoming intimate gig comes after percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan told NME that the band are “going back to basics” this year to celebrate their 25th anniversary . “We’re going back to basics. I’m ready to kick everybody in the face again! I’m ready to do a 100-person venue again! I’m ready to do a 500-person venue…”

The gig comes at a time when rumours of new music from the band has been percolating among their fanbase.

Recommended

The last album the nu-metal icons released was  ‘The End, So Far’ , which arrived back in August 2022. It proved to be the last full-length LP before the departure of both keyboardist Craig Jones, who left the group in June , and Jay Weinberg, who was suddenly kicked out of the line-up shortly after .

In the time since, Slipknot have been  teasing fans with hints about a new drummer, posting a photo of a single broken drumstick online with the caption “Rehearsal.”  However, according to the comments on the post, it looks like the band have more than live shows planned.

In other Slipknot news, fans have become increasingly certain that they have worked out the identity of the new drummer – speculating that the new member is former Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande. This comes following  the Brazilian metal band recently announcing that they had parted ways with the longtime member  ahead of their final world tour.

Speaking to  NME  about what Slipknot have planned for 2024 , founding member Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan said: “I’m ready to move on from what has been, and move onto a world that I know needs to be. For instance, normally we’d have about two years on and one-and-a-half years off — we’re not doing that anymore.”

They will also be returning to the UK this winter  to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album .  Visit here  for remaining tickets.
