Slipknot is heading back out on the road! The heavy metal legends announced the dates for the North American leg of their Here Comes the Pain Tour on Tuesday (April 30), which arrives amid the 25th anniversary of their debut self-titled album.
“We loved what we did with the first record but we didn’t even know if there was gonna be anything after that,” recalls guitarist Jim Root of 1999’s Slipknot in a press statement. “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.”
The North American Here Comes the Pain Tour will kick off on August 6 in Noblesville, Ind., before hitting iconic venues like Madison Square Garden in New York City, the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and Moody Center in Austin, Texas before wrapping up with Knotfest Iowa at Waterworks Park on September 21. Knocked Loose, Orbit Culture and Vended will be joining the gig as special guests on select dates.
