The "Prepare for Hell" tour, which will be in support of the band's upcoming fifth studio album .5: The Gray
Chapter, will take the nu-metal juggernauts to the following destinations:
Jan 14: Dublin 3Arena, Ireland
Jan 16: Sheffield Motorpoint Arena, England
Jan 18: Glasgow SSE Hydro, Scotland
Jan 19: Newcastle Metro Radio Arena, England
Jan 20: Manchester Arena, England
Jan 22: Liverpool Echo Arena, England
Jan 23: London Wembley SSE Arena, England
Jan 24: Cardiff Motorpoint Arena, Wales
Jan 26: Nottingham Capital FM Arena, England
Jan 27: Birmingham Barclaycard Arena, England
Tickets will be made available from Friday October 17th at 9am GMT via Live Nation and Ticketmaster, with
prices starting from £39.50 in the UK and €59.50 in Ireland.
Furthermore, a special fan-exclusive pre-sale will be available on Tuesday October 14th at 9am GMT by
registering on Slipknot's official website.
Said frontman Corey Taylor:
"The UK has always been very special for us. In a lot of ways, it's where this insanity began. So, for this tour,
we decided to try and hit as many places as we could - not only England, but Scotland and Wales as well.
Technically Ireland is Europe, but we're going there too. We're coming back for the people who started this for us
– that would be you. Prepare yourselves. Hell is coming".
The tour will be the first they have performed with drummer Jay Weinberg and bassist Alessandro Venturella,
who will be replacing Joey Jordison and the deceased Paul Gray respectively.
In addition, Taylor has alluded in the past to the possibility of the band's self-organized festival "Knotfest" coming
to the UK in the near-future.
The aforementioned LP, Slipknot's first in six years, is set to drop this coming Monday, although various leaks
have already allowed many fans to hear the full record weeks in advance.
Meanwhile, Slipknot's supporting act, Korn, will be performing their self-titled debut album in its entirety at each of
the shows, in commemoration of its 20th anniversary.

I've never listened to Korn. But 20th anniversary of their self titled makes me feel old as fuck. And I'd totally see Slipknot.
| | |
So it's confirmed that those two are the new members?
| | |
Not by the band themselves, but it's pretty much been edged is stone by most fans at this point.
| | |
Going to this
| | |
Will be going the Liverpool show.
| | |
Manc-land for me I think
| | |
"where this insanity began"
"Prepare yourselves. Hell is coming"
do slipknot really think this of themselves
| | |
yes
| | |
why
| | |
well with the sales and live gates they've accumulated, it's not like they don't have the right to play themselves up.
besides their live schtick is p. mental
