Slipknot Have Announced The UK And European Cities They'll Be Playing In 2020

We suspected some 2020 European tour dates from the mighty Slipknot might be on the way – having spotted these cryptic posters at last month's Download Festival – and now the band have answered our wishes, officially announcing which cities they'll be performing at next year.

As well as the exciting confirmation that the Iowa titans will be returning to UK and European shores sooner rather than later, Slipknot have also announced a ticket collaboration with their new album We Are Not Your Kind: if you pre-order the record before 11:30pm UK time on August 8 (the day before it is released), you'll get an exclusive pre-sale code granting early access to UK and European tour tickets. Get on that right here.

Slipknot are set to hit the following next year:

Dublin, Ireland
Manchester, United Kingdom
Newcastle, United Kingdom
Glasgow, United Kingdom
Sheffield, United Kingdom
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Cardiff, United Kingdom
Birmingham, United Kingdom
London, United Kingdom
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Frankfurt, Germany
Paris, France
Luxembourg, Luxembourg
Lyon, France
Budapest, Hungary
Lodz, Poland
Stuttgart, Germany
Munich, Germany
Milan, Italy
Zurich, Switzerland

Meanwhile, if you live across the pond, the ’Knot’s huge U.S. tour with Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth is set to kick off this month.

The band recently announced an “immersive exhibit” that will be available to attend at the shows, detailing a journey “from throughout the band’s history complete with instruments, memorabilia, wardrobe and personal never-before-seen items”.
