Slipknot just announced they have some huge plans to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their self-titled album. Not only will they be returning to their hometown of Des Moines, Iowa to headline Knotfest 2024, but The Nine will also be bringing the pain around North America this summer on their "Here Comes the Pain" tour. Since this year marks the 25th anniversary of Slipknot’s self-titled, their set is billed as “a unique set drawing heavily from their 1999 debut.”
The arena run is highlighted by stops at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ new Inuit Dome, and Austin’s Moody Center, and will also be featuring supporting acts Knocked Loose, Orbit Culture, and Vended.
“We loved what we did with the first record but we didn't even know if there was gonna be anything after that,” Slipknot guitarist Jim Root. “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.”
“Every time I’ve walked onstage, it’s never been about how many people have been there because my culture, the maggots, always show up,” founding member Shawn “Clown” Crahan said in a statement. “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.… 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.”
