Slipknot Announces Extensive 2027 Tour

Slipknot has announced an extensive tour planned for the year 2027. According to the tour announcement, 11 different support acts will accompany the band on a rotating basis across the tour. Tickets for the 2027 Slipknot tour will go on general sale on October 2.

The concert dates announced for the 2027 tour will mark the first time that Slipknot will perform live on stage after July 2025. In addition to being the band's first live performances after that date, the 2027 tour dates will also be the band's first concerts without their long-time turntablist, Sid Wilson.

In addition, the Ohio State University American football team used Slipknot to reference the University of Iowa ahead of their Big Ten matchup this weekend. Ohio State shared an image that features eight football players standing on a field. The visual was shared as a reference to Slipknot's 2008 album All Hope Is Gone. While the All Hope Is Gone album cover features nine members of Slipknot, the visual image shared by the Ohio State football team includes only eight players standing on the field.
