Metal doesn’t do stadium tours quietly. When cryptic red posters bearing Slipknot’s “S” logo started appearing across Los Angeles, Chicago, Buenos Aires, and cities across multiple continents, nobody thought it was a yoga retreat announcement. The reveal landed exactly as heavy: the (sic)est Stadium Tour, a three-continent run stretching from Wembley Stadium on July 3, 2027, through North America and closing across five South American cities in September. New staging, new set, career-spanning setlist — per the official tour announcement. Slipknot aren’t reminiscing. They’re reclaiming.
One Night at Wembley, Then the Whole Continent
UK and European fans get one shot — and the supporting cast makes it count.
The Wembley show is the only UK and European date on the entire tour. That’s not a scheduling footnote — that’s pressure. Supporting that London opener are Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore, and Hatebreed, which amounts to a full evening of extreme music before Slipknot even walks onstage — a reminder of what’s at stake in live rock performances of this scale.
North America runs differently. Bring Me The Horizon anchor the entire leg as direct support — a pairing that bridges metalcore’s current mainstream moment with Slipknot’s nu-metal foundation in ways that feel less like nostalgia and more like a generational handoff. The rotating supporting cast includes Acid Bath, Lamb of God, Motionless In White, Kublai Khan TX, and Polyphia. Loathe and Vended round out the bill; exact combinations vary by venue. South America sees Manson and Hatebreed expected to rejoin the tour, though full local support lineups remain unconfirmed.
Key dates to know:
- July 3 — Wembley Stadium, London (sole UK/European date)
- July 25 — Soldier Field, Chicago
- July 31 — Fenway Park, Boston
- August 13 — SoFi Stadium, Inglewood, California
- September 4–16 — South America (São Paulo on Sept. 4, Buenos Aires on Sept. 8, Santiago on Sept. 12, Lima on Sept. 14, Bogotá on Sept. 16)
New Music, New Drummer, Same Relentless Machine
“Arsenal” signals a band in motion — and your presale window opens September 29.
The tour arrives alongside “Arsenal”, Slipknot’s first new song in three years, released following drummer Eloy Casagrande‘s arrival and Jay Weinberg’s departure. Guitarist Jim Root has described it as a standalone single rather than a confirmed album preview. Work on the follow-up to 2022’s The End, So Far continues with producer Matt Wallace — release timing remains unconfirmed.
Your presale window opens September 29 at 10 a.m. local time. General sale follows October 2 at 10 a.m. local time. Fan events at Wembley and SoFi Stadium on September 28 — running 5 to 9 p.m. local — include pop-up merch, early ticket access, and limited editions. The first 500 ticket buyers at those events were slated to receive an event poster, subject to the original promotion terms.
Twenty-five years in, Slipknot are scheduled to play Fenway Park and Wembley Stadium on the same tour. That’s not legacy — that’s momentum.
