Slipknot reveal summer 2025 European tour
Slipknot will be taking over Europe’s rock and metal fests next June, as well as playing some headline dates of their own.
Slipknot are heading back down under next year, and they’re bringing A Day To Remember, BABYMETAL, Within Temptation, Enter Shikari and more with ’em…
Having previously promised that next year’s Knotfest Australia will be part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, Slipknot have now just revealed the line-up.
The Iowa legends will headline their epic travelling fest in Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney, but they’ve also confirmed they’ll be joined down under by A Day To Remember, BABYMETAL, Slaughter To Prevail, Polaris, Within Temptation, Enter Shikari, Hatebreed, In Hearts Wake, HEALTH, Miss May I, Vended and Sunami. Tickets go on sale in a week’s time, from 3pm on Wednesday, October 23.
