Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain Tour is here. The tour, which celebrates the heavy titans and cultural phenomenon’s 25th anniversary of seminal debut album, Slipknot, kicked off with a sold out performance in Indiana last night. The band jumped straight back to 1999 with set opener “(sic)”. Other highlights from the set list included the classic “Wait & Bleed”, “Liberate”, “Surfacing” and more. Fans have been rabidly awaiting what songs the band would play, with no info posted by the band in advance. Last night’s capacity crowd, and the internet’s reaction immediately after, signalled that fans were ecstatic and that these would be shows to remember, a modern Slipknot tour unlike any other.
Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain Tour, produced by Live Nation, includes arena plays nationwide this summer, followed by global performances across arenas later this year and throughout 2025. Highlights include New York City’s Madison Square Garden, two back to back nights at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome, Austin’s Moody Center, two nights at London’s O2 Arena, a special homecoming performance at Knotfest Iowa and more. Knocked Loose, Orbit Culture and Vended are confirmed as support on select dates.
