On June 29, 1999, Iowa-based heavy metal band Slipknot released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album.
Twenty-five short years later, they’re one of the biggest groups in the world.
However, the heavy octet never forgot where they came from.
To celebrate their humble beginnings, the band is embarking on their 25th Anniversary ‘Here Comes The Pain Tour’ this summer.
From August through September, Corey Taylor and co. will perform at arenas, domes, amphitheaters and festivals all over North America with special guests Knocked Loose, Orbit Culture and Vended joining them on select dates.
New York fans are in luck, too.
Slipknot is scheduled to drop into Madison Square Garden on Monday, Aug. 12.
As for what to expect, the “Duality” group plans on keeping things intimate.
“We’re gonna make it more personal on the anniversary, but how remains to be seen,” Slipknot vocalist and drummer Shawn Crahan shared in a press release. “Just get ready to have your face kicked in. Because we just do what we do, spread that maggot culture — that disease. And you’ve been infected.”
“Maggots” that can’t wait to get infected their hands on tickets are in luck.
At the time of publication, tickets for all of Slipknot’s upcoming North American concerts and festival dates can be scooped up as soon as today.
Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, May 3, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
