Slipknot will embark on a North American tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled this summer. The Here Comes The Pain Tour will feature direct support by Knocked Loose, with Orbit Culture and Vended opening on select dates.
Knotfest.com artist pre-sale tickets are available now. General sale begins this Friday, May 3rd at 10:00AM local here. You can find all of Slipknot’s upcoming tour dates below, including their upcoming homecoming performance at Knotfest Iowa.
Released on June 29th, 1999, Slipknot’s self-titled debut was a hit and is now a highly regarded classic in the heavy music world. Reflecting on the release, guitarist Jim Root recalls:
“We loved what we did with the first record but we didn’t even know if there was gonna be anything after that. We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours– those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us.”
Founding member/percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan adds:
“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.
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.”
