Slipknot announce 25th Anniversary EU & UK tour for 2024
Slipknot have revealed tour dates for a massive 2024 European and UK headline run. Slipknot’s thrilling, multi-sensory live shows are legendary, and with the band celebrating 25 years on this upcoming run, these “Here Comes the Pain” shows will be especially explosive and not-to-be-missed.
Says clown of the upcoming shows:
"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."
The run kicks off at Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands on 5th December, canvases continental Europe with arena dates in Germany, France and Switzerland, and concludes at the world-famous O2 Arena in London on 20th December [full itinerary below]. This notably marks their first O2 Arena performance since 2020. Presale tickets will go live on December 13th at 9:00am UK time, with official Live Nation and venue presales launching on Thursday 14th December at 9:00am UK time, and general on-sale following on 15th December at 9:00am UK time.
Slipknot released their debut self-titled studio album on 29th June 1999, and with it, heralded a seismic shift in music, attitude and energy, and have since defined a culture that has only grown around the world. In the quarter century since, Slipknot’s unwavering dedication to their art, expression, and their fans remains at the core of their mission. The band has remained as creative and unapologetic as ever, both in their music and their live shows.

Having recently wrapped a tour of some of the biggest festival stages in the world, Slipknot are set to headline Sick New World festival at Las Vegas Festival Grounds on April 27th. Furthermore, Slipknot recently immortalized their legendary sold-out 2009 concert at New York City's Madison Square Garden on vinyl for the first time ever with the double LP, Live at MSG.
Continually and fearlessly evolving, Slipknot’s latest full length album, “The End, So Far” landed at #1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart and at #2 on the Billboard 200, marking their sixth Top 10-charting album on the Billboard 200. A new album from Slipknot is a global event, and “The End, So Far” continued the band’s global chart rise, with #1 debuts in the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Switzerland, and Mexico, as well as Top 3 debuts in Canada, New Zealand, Finland, Sweden, Japan, and Belgium. Slipknot’s previous album, 2019’s “We Are Not Your Kind”, marked Slipknot’s third consecutive #1 on the Billboard 200, along with #1 debuts in the Official Album Charts of twelve countries around the world, including the UK, Australia, Canada and Mexico, with Top 5 debuts in an additional twelve countries including Germany, France and Sweden.
And, if that wasn’t enough, its confirmed that the special guests on the tour will be Scotland’s own Bleed From Within. The band commented:
"Slipknot are a band that we all grew up listening to so when we got the call for the tour, you can imagine our reaction. To play so many iconic stages alongside one of the biggest metal bands of all time is both an honour and a privilege. We are also acutely aware that opportunities like this rarely present themselves, so you can expect the best Bleed From Within shows you've ever seen. Very grateful to Slipknot and their team for having us. We can not wait to get out there!"
Bleed From Within have had an extraordinary year. Having recently stepped off of the Lamb Of God Headbangers Boat cruise, following on from a colossal summer run which took in both headline shows, performances with Heaven Shall Burn and festival appearances at the likes of Brutal Assault (Czech Republic), Summer Breeze (Germany) and Alcatraz (Belgium), finishing up with a 13-date tour supporting Trivium across the UK. This was all on top of a hugely successful debut American tour earlier this year with August Burns Red and The Devil Wears Prada.
Only last month, they released the “Shrine Deluxe Edition”. Their stunning latest studio album “Shrine” was released in summer 2022, marking the band's most ground breaking work to-date and staking out Bleed From Within's bold intent. The Scottish 5-piece claiming their position as the most exciting prospect in modern metal.
