Slipknot Announces 2024-2025 Tour and New Album: Everything You Need to Know
Get ready, maggots—Slipknot is back! The Iowa metal juggernaut has officially unveiled plans for an epic 2024-2025
tour, set to light up stages across the globe. The new tour comes alongside an exciting announcement for a brand
new album, marking the band’s first studio release since 2019’s We Are Not Your Kind. Here’s everything you need
to know about what promises to be one of the most anticipated metal events of the next two years.
Slipknot’s 2024-2025 Tour: Global Metal Assault
The tour will kick off in the summer of 2024, with the band promising an extensive run of dates across North
America, Europe, South America, and select stops in Asia and Australia. Following the success of their last world
tour, the band is looking to bring an even more immersive and intense live experience, with new stage setups,
pyrotechnics, and, of course, their signature chaotic energy.
The band has teased that fans can expect to hear material from the upcoming album alongside fan favorites from
their entire discography, including Iowa, Slipknot, All Hope Is Gone, and .5: The Gray Chapter. While details about
the full tour itinerary are still under wraps, initial announcements point to major festival appearances, headline
shows, and intimate venue performances that are set to raise the bar for live metal experiences.
Dates and ticket information will be released in the coming weeks, with pre-sales and VIP packages expected to
go live soon. Slipknot fans can expect to have opportunities to snag limited-edition merchandise and meet-and-greet
packages, though details on those will be shared as the tour details unfold.
New Album: “The End of Everything”
Alongside the tour, Slipknot also dropped the bombshell fans have been waiting for—a brand new album is on the
way. Titled The End of Everything, the album is expected to feature a darker, more experimental sound, building on
the foundations laid by their previous releases but exploring new sonic territories.
Lead vocalist Corey Taylor and percussionist Shawn Crahan (aka Clown) have both been vocal about pushing the
boundaries of what Slipknot can achieve with this record. In a recent interview, Taylor hinted that the album would
be a reflection of the band’s emotional journey since their last full-length album and the tumultuous years that
followed.
“We’ve been through a lot as individuals and as a band over the last few years,” Taylor said. “This album is heavy in
every sense of the word, both sonically and emotionally. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the years and
poured it all into The End of Everything. It’s going to hit hard.”
The band has also shared a teaser for the album, with a single expected to drop later this year. Early reports suggest
that the first track will introduce fans to a more experimental and aggressive sound, blending traditional Slipknot
elements with new, more atmospheric tones. It’s shaping up to be a bold new chapter for the band, one that explores
themes of existentialism, chaos, and catharsis.
A Look Ahead
Slipknot has always been at the forefront of extreme music, and with The End of Everything and the accompanying
tour, the band is set to solidify their legacy even further. Fans old and new will no doubt be lining up to witness the
raw intensity of Slipknot’s performances and to hear what the band has in store for the future.
Keep your eyes peeled for further announcements on album artwork, tracklistings, and more tour dates. If the energy
surrounding the band’s upcoming releases is any indication, 2024-2025 is going to be one of the most explosive eras
in Slipknot’s career.
