It’s time for the masked metal giants, Slipknot, to head back to London, with the band announcing their (sic)est Stadium Tour, kicking off with a huge show at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 3 July 2027. A huge return, the Wembley gig is currently billed as a UK and Europe exclusive, meaning that this is currently the only way to see Slipknot play the continent. But as a special treat, they’ve brought some seriously stacked support acts with them.
Slipknot at Wembley
For their Wembley Stadium show, Slipknot will be joined by Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore and Hatebreed. The band are promising to treat attendees to a career-spanning set, bringing a whole new stage production that has been put together specifically for this tour. As fans already know, a Slipknot show is as subtle as putting a brick through a window, a show of this scale will be something quite remarkable to see.
The (sic)est Stadium Tour
The Wembley Stadium gig is the first date of a larger global tour, the tour heads across to North America through July and August, calling at large venues including Citi Field in New York, Chicago’s Soldier Field, Boston’s Fenway Park and the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. This all takes place before the group head to South America in September, there are an array of different support acts coming along too, including Bring Me The Horizon, Lamb of God, Motionless in White, Polyphia and Loathe.
A major year for Slipknot
Having just recently released ‘Arsenal’ their first new song in more than three years, 2027 looks like it’s going to be a major year for Slipknot. The track arrived earlier this month alongside a video directed by the band themselves, a treat for fans looking for a taste of what could be coming next.
Whether the song becomes a part of the Wembley setlist remains to be seen, but as any fan knows, there’s plenty of older material waiting for them to fall back on. It wouldn’t be a Slipknot show without ‘Psychosocial,’ ‘Duality,’ ‘Wait and Bleed’ and ‘(sic),’ so it’s likely that these will make their way onto a career-spanning set.
Slipknot tickets
There’s an unusual way for fans to get their hands on tickets before the online presales begin. Fans can head along to Wembley Stadium later this evening, where tickets are being sold in person at the West Ticket Office for four hours, between 5pm and 9pm. The first 500 people to buy their tickets there will also grab a commemorative poster.
For everyone else, the artist presale begins on Tuesday at 10am, followed by the Knotfest presale at midday. General sale opens up at 10am on Friday 2 October.
Slipknot have played at various levels in the UK over the years, but Wembley ramps it up a notch. With this show currently the only UK and Europe date, fans won’t have another show to choose from. Bringing the masks, fire, and noise over to Wembley, it’s going to be loud.
