How to get Slipknot tickets as sale goes live for 25th anniversary UK tour
Slipknot are touring the UK in celebration of 25 years since their eponymous debut album, and it promises to be a spectacle. Here’s how to secure tickets today.
Encountering Slipknot in a dark alley would be one of our worst nightmares, so you can imagine our horror when a friend turned up to our Halloween party wearing a mask similar to Craig Jones’s pin mask…
Although bumping into the mask-wearing entourage would scare the living daylights out of us, seeing Slipknot perform live would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, particularly as the heavy metal band haven't been to the UK since Download Festival in 2009. So, buckle up, Slipknot fans, here’s how to secure tickets today.
The metal legends are celebrating 25 years since their self-titled debut album — quite frankly — slapped the world in the face in the summer of 1999, as Clown says: “It has been 25 years since we first played on the continent, and we’ve been back ever since. The memories I have from all those times are life-changing, and we’re ready to make more. I’m so excited to bring our 25 year anniversary tour to Europe and the UK. Be prepared for an energy you’ve never experienced before. It’s happening."
Alongside Clown (also known as Shawn Crahan), Slipknot is made up of Mick Thomson, Corey Taylor, Sid Wilson, Jim Root, Alessandro Venturella, and Michael Pfaff. Citing Korn’s self-titled 1994 album, Limp Bizkit’s 1997 album Three Dollar Bill, and rock band Kiss as early influences, it’s no surprise that Slipknot is known for their heavy style of music, energetic live shows, and unique image.
As well as their eponymous debut album, Slipknot have released six further studio albums: 2001’s Iowa, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), All Hope Is Gone which debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, .5: The Gray Chapter, We Are Not Your Kind, and The End, So Far which was released in September 2022. Here’s how to get tickets to see the heavy metal band today.
