When Slipknot dropped news of their North American tour earlier this year, I felt a mix of excitement and, honestly, a little heartbreak. As a die-hard fan since their debut with Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat., I was all set to relive the madness, but then reality hit me, and I won’t able to make it.
Just as I was wrapping my head around the disappointment, Slipknot announced they’re expanding the tour into November and December 2024, celebrating their 25th anniversary with a European-led tour in December called “Here Comes The Pain. " A nod to their explosive 1999 track “(sic),” this slipknot tour is bound to be epic. The biggest surprise? Slipknot decided to rock only the tracks from their first album.
So, if you’re as excited as I am, here’s everything you need to know about the tour.
Why 2024 Is a Landmark Year for Slipknot
Slipknot has spent decades creating music that pushes boundaries and resonates with fans globally. This major anniversary tour celebrates their legendary career, bringing together new and longtime fans alike. The band is gearing up to perform a mix of their biggest hits, rare tracks, and live anthems that capture the essence of their intense, raw performances.
Know The Members
Slipknot wouldn’t be Slipknot without its powerhouse lineup, and they’re bringing the full force to every night of the 25th Anniversary Tour.
- Corey Taylor (Vocals): As fierce as ever, he leads the charge with his raw, powerful vocals that have kept us all hooked since day one.
- Jim Root and Mich Thomson (Guitars): The guitar duo responsible for that gritty, hard-hitting Slipknot sound that fans know and love.
- Jay Weinberg (Drums): Keeping the energy high with brutal, unpredictable drumming that honours the band’s legacy.
- Clown and Tortilla Man(Percussion and Samples): They add their signature intensity to percussion and samples, taking the chaos up several notches with every beat.
- Sid Wilson (Turntables): Bringing the eerie, atmospheric vibe with masterful turntable work that enhances Slipknot’s horror-inspired aesthetic.
- Craig Jones (Samples): Layering sounds and effects that pull fans deeper into Slipknot’s dark, immersive experience.
Each member’s unique talent fuses seamlessly, delivering the chaos and energy Slipknot fans crave.
Setlist
For this anniversary tour, Slipknot is pulling out all the stops by exclusively playing songs from their iconic debut album. Sure, the set might be 10-15 minutes shorter than usual, but when else do you get to experience an entire classic album live?
Highlights include the intense “No Life” and “Scissors,” both performed live for the first time since 2000, along with deep cuts like “Get This” (first time since 2019), “Me Inside” (first time since 2015), and “Only One” (first time since 2012).
And, of course, the band's new masks are also part of the show, specially crafted for this tour to perfectly reflect the album's atmosphere."
