SLIPKNOT are going absolutely enormous in 2027. The Iowa metal giants have announced their worldwide (sic)est Stadium Tour, beginning with their biggest-ever UK headline show at Wembley Stadium before tearing through North America and South America with an astonishing rotating cast of 11 support acts.
And when we say support acts, we’re not talking about a couple of newcomers getting twenty minutes while everybody queues for beer.
Look at this lot:
MARILYN MANSON.
BRING ME THE HORIZON.
LAMB OF GOD.
HATEBREED.
LORNA SHORE.
MOTIONLESS IN WHITE.
ACID BATH.
KUBLAI KHAN TX.
POLYPHIA.
LOATHE.
VENDED.
That isn’t a support roster.
That’s several festivals wearing a trench coat and pretending to be a tour.
🔥 Welcome To The (sic)est Stadium Tour
SLIPKNOT have named the colossal run the (sic)est Stadium Tour, a nod to “(sic)” from their landmark 1999 self-titled debut album.
The tour begins on 3 July 2027 at Wembley Stadium in London, before moving across North America throughout July and August.
September then takes the masked metallers into South America for shows in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia.
The final currently announced performance takes place in Bogotá on 16 September 2027.
In total, the initial itinerary contains 19 shows.
And these aren’t small venues.
We’re talking stadiums.
Proper ones.
🇬🇧 Wembley Stadium Gets The Only UK And European Show
British Maggots have one opportunity to catch SLIPKNOT in Europe during 2027.
But bloody hell, they’ve made it a big one.
Saturday, 3 July 2027 – Wembley Stadium, London.
The performance is being billed as SLIPKNOT’s only UK and European appearance of 2027 and their biggest-ever headline show on British soil.
Considering the band’s history in this country, that’s a genuinely monumental milestone.
From clubs.
To festival stages.
To arenas.
To Download headline sets.
And now:
SLIPKNOT at Wembley Stadium.
That sentence would have sounded completely insane when nine blokes from Iowa released that first album in 1999.
💀 Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore And Hatebreed Join Them At Wembley
SLIPKNOT aren’t arriving at Wembley alone.
The London lineup features:
SLIPKNOT
MARILYN MANSON
LORNA SHORE
HATEBREED
That’s a ridiculous day of heavy music.
HATEBREED bringing hardcore-infused metallic violence into Wembley Stadium already sounds brilliant.
Then you’ve got LORNA SHORE representing the modern extreme-metal generation.
MARILYN MANSON joins the bill before SLIPKNOT eventually take control of the stadium.
One date.
Four enormous names.
And potentially around 90,000 people descending upon Wembley for one seriously heavy Saturday.
🌎 Then SLIPKNOT Head Across The Atlantic
Following Wembley, there’s a short break before the North American section begins on 16 July at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C.
And that’s where the tour’s rotating-support concept really kicks into gear.
SLIPKNOT will be joined by BRING ME THE HORIZON throughout the North American leg, effectively creating an enormous co-headline-sized pairing every night.
SLIPKNOT.
BRING ME THE HORIZON.
In stadiums.
That’s already enough.
Apparently nobody told them that.
So they’re adding more bands.
🔥 BRING ME THE HORIZON Join Every North American Show
Having BRING ME THE HORIZON as direct support throughout North America is a huge statement.
The Sheffield band have spent years steadily expanding from deathcore beginnings into one of modern heavy music’s biggest international acts.
Arenas.
Festival headline slots.
Genre experimentation.
Massive production.
And a catalogue capable of jumping from outright brutality into electronic rock and enormous alternative anthems.
Putting BMTH immediately before SLIPKNOT gives these stadium shows an unusually strong second billing.
There will be plenty of people buying tickets who could happily watch either band headline.
⚜️ ACID BATH Return To Massive Stages
Then things get even more interesting.
ACID BATH will appear on selected dates.
The Louisiana cult legends have enjoyed an extraordinary resurgence since returning to live activity after decades away.
Their mixture of sludge, doom, hardcore, psychedelia and outright darkness influenced generations of musicians despite the band’s original lifespan being tragically short.
Now they’ll be playing stadium dates alongside SLIPKNOT and BRING ME THE HORIZON.
Heavy music really does take some strange roads.
🐑 LAMB OF GOD Join Chicago
The 25 July show at Chicago’s Soldier Field adds another monster name:
LAMB OF GOD.
SLIPKNOT.
BRING ME THE HORIZON.
LAMB OF GOD.
At Soldier Field.
That’s the sort of lineup where you should probably start stretching your neck several weeks beforehand.
LAMB OF GOD and SLIPKNOT share a long history within 21st-century American metal, and seeing both occupying stadium-sized territory says plenty about how far that generation of heavy music has travelled.
🖤 Lorna Shore Get Multiple Opportunities
LORNA SHORE will appear at Wembley and selected North American shows.
Their inclusion makes enormous sense.
Few extreme-metal bands have experienced such a dramatic rise during the 2020s.
They’ve helped push deathcore towards audiences far beyond its traditional boundaries while retaining the absurd vocals, blast beats and heaviness that made people notice them in the first place.
Going from extreme-metal clubs to sharing stadium bills with SLIPKNOT is one hell of a trajectory.
⚡ Kublai Khan TX Bring The Hardcore Damage
KUBLAI KHAN TX also join selected North American dates.
And that’s going to hurt.
Their brutally direct mixture of hardcore and metal has turned them into one of the most formidable live bands in the modern heavy scene.
No elaborate explanation required.
Riff happens.
Crowd moves.
Floor becomes dangerous.
Repeat.
Putting that energy inside a stadium could be spectacular.
🎸 Polyphia Add Something Completely Different
Then there’s POLYPHIA.
Because apparently this tour wasn’t stylistically unpredictable enough.
The Texas instrumental outfit bring progressive musicianship, technical guitar playing, hip-hop-influenced rhythms and a completely different atmosphere to much of the remaining lineup.
That’s one of the strongest aspects of the (sic)est Stadium Tour.
SLIPKNOT aren’t simply booking eleven bands that sound vaguely like SLIPKNOT.
There’s variety.
Different generations.
Different scenes.
Different approaches to heaviness.
🇬🇧 Loathe Represent Britain’s New Generation
Liverpool’s LOATHE are another inspired addition.
Their atmospheric mixture of metalcore, shoegaze, alternative metal and crushing heaviness has earned them an increasingly passionate following.
Now they’ll appear at several North American stadium dates.
That’s enormous exposure for a British band that has spent years steadily developing its own distinctive sound.
🖤 Motionless In White Join The Party
MOTIONLESS IN WHITE will appear on selected dates towards the end of the North American leg.
They’ve become one of modern American metal’s most dependable large-venue acts, blending industrial influences, metalcore, gothic visuals and huge melodic hooks.
Again, it makes sense.
SLIPKNOT’s audience has always crossed between different corners of alternative and heavy music.
MOTIONLESS IN WHITE fit comfortably into that world while bringing their own substantial audience.
🔥 Vended Make This One Personal
Then there’s VENDED.
And this addition carries considerably more emotional weight.
The Iowa band feature vocalist Griffin Taylor, son of SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor, alongside drummer Simon Crahan, son of SLIPKNOT percussionist Shawn “Clown” Crahan.
They’ve deliberately been building their own career rather than existing purely as an extension of their fathers’ band.
But seeing VENDED sharing one of these enormous stages with SLIPKNOT creates a pretty remarkable full-circle moment.
The next generation of Iowa heaviness literally joining the previous one.
🌎 South America Gets Marilyn Manson And Hatebreed
Following North America, SLIPKNOT head south in September.
The South American run includes:
São Paulo, Brazil
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Santiago, Chile
Lima, Peru
and
Bogotá, Colombia.
MARILYN MANSON and HATEBREED are scheduled to join several of those dates, continuing the combination first seen at Wembley.
And anyone familiar with South American metal audiences already knows what these shows could look like.
Absolute bedlam.
Beautiful, glorious bedlam.

🎭 SLIPKNOT Are Promising An Entirely New Production
The scale of the venues isn’t the only thing changing.
SLIPKNOT are promising brand-new staging and a new live production for the (sic)est Stadium Tour.
They’re also planning a setlist covering their entire career.
That opens some interesting possibilities.
The self-titled record.
Iowa.
Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses).
All Hope Is Gone.
.5: The Gray Chapter.
We Are Not Your Kind.
The End, So Far.
And whatever the current incarnation of SLIPKNOT brings next.
Three decades of chaos condensed into a stadium show.
Good luck to whoever has to write that setlist.
🎵 ‘Arsenal’ Begins Another New Era
The tour announcement follows the arrival of “Arsenal”, SLIPKNOT’s first new song in several years and their first released material featuring drummer Eloy Casagrande.
Casagrande joined SLIPKNOT after the departure of Jay Weinberg and quickly established himself as an absolute monster behind the kit.
Which isn’t exactly surprising to anybody who watched him spend years demolishing drums with SEPULTURA.
“Arsenal” provides the first studio glimpse of what this version of SLIPKNOT can become.
Interestingly, guitarist Jim Root has indicated that the track isn’t necessarily part of the band’s next album.
Instead, it was something they were able to finish and release earlier.
Meaning there is potentially considerably more happening behind the scenes.
🥁 Eloy Casagrande Gets The Stadium Treatment
The 2027 tour will also represent another major chapter for Casagrande.
Joining SLIPKNOT was already an enormous step.
But stadium touring on this scale?
That’s another level.
Charlie Benante might have one of the most intimidating fill-in jobs in thrash.
Eloy arguably inherited one of metal’s most scrutinised permanent drum stools when he replaced Jay Weinberg.
He has handled it spectacularly.
Now he gets Wembley Stadium.
Not bad.
🎤 Corey Taylor And SLIPKNOT Have Come A Ridiculous Distance
It’s worth remembering just how absurd this journey is.
SLIPKNOT emerged from Des Moines, Iowa in the 1990s.
Nine masked musicians.
Boiler suits.
Turntables.
Samples.
Percussionists hitting beer kegs.
Songs that sounded genuinely dangerous.
There was absolutely nothing sensible about the concept.
Then their self-titled album arrived in 1999.
Iowa followed in 2001.
And somehow the band that looked too extreme to become mainstream became one of the biggest metal acts on Earth.
Now they’re headlining Wembley Stadium.
Heavy music is weird.
And wonderful.
🇬🇧 Wembley Is The Big One For UK Maggots
For British fans, everything revolves around 3 July.
There are currently no Cardiff, Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow or Download Festival appearances attached to the 2027 European schedule.
It’s Wembley.
That’s it.
One gigantic gathering of UK and European Maggots.
That makes the show considerably more than another tour stop.
It becomes a destination.
Fans will travel from across Britain.
People will fly into London from Europe.
Hotels will fill.
Trains will become chaotic.
And somewhere on the Underground, somebody in full SLIPKNOT makeup will terrify an unsuspecting tourist at nine in the morning.
As tradition demands.
🎟️ Tickets Go On General Sale 2 October
General ticket sales for the tour begin on Friday, 2 October 2026 at 10am local time, following artist and Knotfest presales earlier in the week.
Given the scale of Wembley and the strength of the support lineup, expect substantial demand for the London date.
Because this isn’t simply another SLIPKNOT arena run.
It’s the biggest British headline show they’ve ever attempted.
🤘 THE RIFF REPORT VERDICT
SLIPKNOT could have announced a stadium tour and brought one strong support band.
Nobody would have complained.
Instead they’ve apparently looked at the 2027 festival calendar and thought:
“We’ll just build our own.”
Across the (sic)est Stadium Tour, an astonishing 11 different supporting artists will appear:
Marilyn Manson. Hatebreed. Bring Me The Horizon. Acid Bath. Lamb Of God. Motionless In White. Lorna Shore. Kublai Khan TX. Polyphia. Loathe. Vended.
Different cities get different combinations.
North America gets Bring Me The Horizon at every stop.
South America gets another collection of enormous shows.
And Britain gets the monster:
SLIPKNOT. Wembley Stadium. 3 July 2027.
Their biggest UK headline show ever.
One of only a handful of bands from their generation could realistically attempt something like this.
Thirty years after nine masked lunatics crawled out of Iowa, SLIPKNOT aren’t winding down.
They’re getting bigger.
See you in the pit. 🔥🤘
