In the world of heavy metal, few bands command as much respect and adoration as Slipknot. With their signature masks, ferocious stage presence, and uncompromising sound, the Iowa-based outfit has carved out a unique niche in the music industry, captivating audiences worldwide for over two decades. Now, as they prepare to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their seminal self-titled album, Slipknot is embarking on a monumental North American tour that promises to be nothing short of epic.
Unveiling the Tour
The announcement of Slipknot’s “Here Comes the Pain” tour sent shockwaves through the metal community, igniting excitement among fans eager to witness the band’s electrifying live performances once again. Spanning multiple cities across North America, the tour will see Slipknot taking to the stage in some of the continent’s most iconic venues, from New York City’s Madison Square Garden to Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome. With support from Kentucky’s hardcore/metal pioneers Knocked Loose, as well as Orbit Culture and Vended on select dates, the tour is shaping up to be a can’t-miss event for metal enthusiasts everywhere.
Celebrating a Milestone
At the heart of Slipknot’s tour is the celebration of a milestone: the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album. Released in 1999, the self-titled record catapulted the band to stardom, earning them critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase that continues to grow to this day. As Slipknot revisits the iconic tracks that defined their early career, they invite fans old and new to join them on a journey through two and a half decades of metal history.
“Every time I’ve walked on stage, it’s never been about how many people have been there because my culture, the maggots, always show up,” says founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan with a smile. “But as we’ve grown as a band, we have had fewer and fewer of those intimate, personal moments, trading them for massive ones. So we’re gonna make it more personal on the anniversary, but how remains to be seen. 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.”

Introducing Eloy Casagrande To Slipknot
In addition to commemorating their anniversary, Slipknot has also introduced a new member to their ranks: drummer Eloy Casagrande. Formerly of Sepultura, Casagrande brings a wealth of talent and experience to the band, stepping into the formidable shoes left vacant by Jay Weinberg. With his explosive drumming style and undeniable stage presence, Casagrande is poised to make a significant impact on Slipknot’s sound and live performances, adding a fresh dynamic to their already formidable lineup.
A Metal Legacy
Slipknot’s influence extends far beyond the realm of music, shaping the cultural landscape and inspiring generations of fans with their boundary-pushing sound and unapologetic attitude. From their groundbreaking debut album to their innovative Knotfest festival series, Slipknot continues to push the boundaries of what metal music can achieve, cementing their status as pioneers of the genre.
“There actually was a time when Slipknot and the maggots (the loving name for their fans) did not completely rule the world,” reflects the band. “25 years ago, the Des Moines band were just some guys trying to get their new LP noticed — a record that would start their metamorphosis into the most crucial band of the 21st century. That record would change rock as we know it, measuring success with a yardstick bigger than music, one for the influence on youth culture writ large. But these faceless demons from middle America would not only capture the hearts of the youth, they would help guide their tastes, and challenge them and their kin towards a new future.”
2024 World Tour Celebration
As Slipknot prepares to hit the road once again, fans can look forward to an unforgettable concert experience that pays homage to the band’s illustrious career while ushering in a new chapter of innovation and creativity. With their trademark masks and explosive stage presence, Slipknot remains as captivating as ever, proving that after 25 years, their reign as metal’s most formidable force shows no signs of waning. So grab your tickets, don your mask, and prepare to be blown away by the sheer power and intensity of Slipknot live in concert.
