Corey Taylor shows off updated 25th anniversary Slipknot mask at Knotfest Brasil
At this weekend’s Knotfest Brasil, Corey Taylor unveiled a new upgrade to his throwback mask, with very creepy red lights in his eyes…
Slipknot will be taking over Europe’s rock and metal fests next June, as well as playing some headline dates of their own.
They’ll be over here next month to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their phenomenal debut album, but Slipknot have already confirmed a big return to Europe in 2025 as well.
The Iowa metallers will be crossing the pond next June to play some of the biggest rock and metal festivals around, plus a few of their own headline shows while they’re here.
These dates seemingly haven’t been billed as part of the anniversary celebrations, so presumably there’ll be a whole new set and setlist for fans. Of course, Corey Taylor has already recently debuted an update to his mask – so will others follow suit? And might we even get new music by June?
A few months ago, Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan told Revolver that the ’Knot would release something “really soon”, and it would be “delivered to you in a way you can’t imagine”.
“I can say that there’s gonna be music sooner than you can imagine, delivered to you in a way you can’t imagine,” he said. “And I’m excited because we’re not on a label. And there’s a lot of dismay with that, you know what I mean? But there’s also a lot of middle fingers with that. I love it, you know? Come and get us, or we'll come to get you!”
