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 are bringing festival madness to Brazil and Chile in December, along with Bring Me The Horizon, Mr. Bungle, Trivium and more.
Good news, South American Maggots: Slipknot have announced two new Knotfest shows in Brazil and Chile for December. The Iowa nonet’s festival will hit Santiago on December 11, and Sao Paolo on December 18.
Joining them at both dates will be Bring Me The Horizon, Mr. Bungle, Trivium, Sepultura and Vended, while the Brazilian date also features Motionless In White, Armored Dawn and Project 46, with a question mark on the poster teasing a final big-hitter to be announced.

The band recently also announced U.S. Knotfest Roadshow dates with Killswitch Engage, FEVER 333 and Code Orange, ending with a massive Knotfest show in LA on November 5, where they’ll be joined by BMTH, Vended and Cherry Bombs.
"With the world opening up, it’s time to get excited about life again. To get back to life again,” said Corey Taylor of the tour. “This tour is a long time coming and we hope you’re as excited to see it as we are to play it. Stay safe, stay (sic) and we’ll see you soon."
Last week, Corey paid tribute to late Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison with an unmasked run through of Wait And Bleed during his solo show at North Dakota's Fargo Brewing Company. Watch the video below.
