Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
Slipknot kicked off their 2022 Knotfest Roadshow tour last night at the Fargodome, delivering a 20-song setlist of hits and a few surprises!
After promising to drop some songs that “haven’t been played live in a very long time”, Slipknot kicked off their Knotfest Roadshow tour in Fargo last night (March 16) – and indeed delivered a couple of fantastic surprises.
Most notably, their 20-song setlist featured the rarely-played All Hope Is Gone ballad Snuff for the first time in a decade, as well as that album's single Dead Memories for the first time since 2016. Elsewhere, Maggots in attendance at the Fargodome were treated to recent single The Chapeltown Rag, plus the likes of All Out Life, Solway Firth, Sulfur and Custer. And then, of course, there was all the usual setlist staples – from Wait And Bleed, Spit It Out and (sic), to Duality and People = Shit. Alllllll the bangers.
