Slipknot announce 2020 tour with a stop-off in Dublin

The band have announced a massive European tour, - although they haven't shared date yet.

SLIPKNOT have teased their 2020 European tour, revealing a string of cities where the band are set to bring their all-new live production (although they haven't given us official tour dates yet).

They have also announced an album/ticket pre-sale access tie-up to coincide.

Fans pre-ordering the band’s long-awaited sixth studio album, WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND before 11.30pm UK time on 8th August at the Roadrunner Records e-store, will be eligible for an exclusive ticket pre-sale code granting early access to the first available tickets for their 2020 European run. More details here.

Produced by Slipknot and Greg Fidelman, WE ARE NOT YOUR KIND follows the band’s blistering 2014 LP, '.5: THE GRAY CHAPTER', which debuted Top 5 in the official album charts of 19 countries around the world.

Speaking the new album, guitarist Jim Root says: “This is the most time we’ve had to write a record, and work stuff out together. One of my inspirations this time around was those artists that recorded full length albums - not just songs. While the industry is moving toward singles, SLIPKNOT wanted to make an album experience, front to back.”

“These days the art we are making comes with the highest reward, because it’s taken the most time,” adds Crahan. “Almost four years to create this emotion and temperature, and the reward now is nothing short of salvation.”

Slipknot have also shared their first single from the new album. You can listen to 'Unsainted' below and see the list of touring cities:
