Slipknot announce their biggest ever stadium tour

Slipknot announce their biggest ever stadium tour for 2027

Emma Harrison 14 October 2026

Slipknot have announced their biggest tour to date -  a 2027 global stadium run that the masked metal band are  calling the (Sic)est Stadium Tour.

Bring Me the Horizon will open for Slipknot across all of their North American dates, but their announcement has been tinged with controversy after revealing that Marilyn Manson has been chosen as one of the support acts for the UK and South America.

Manson will appear alongside Hatebreed and Lorna Shore at Wembley, which will be Slipknot's only UK and European show on July 3rd, 2027. Marilyn Manson will also rejoin Slipknot for dates in South America in September alongside Hatebreed.

Why is Slipknot's decision to have Marilyn Manson as a support act?

Slipknot's  decision to include Manson in their touring lineup has been met with criticism who has been subject to a number of allegations of both domestic and sexual abuse and sexual, all of which Manson whose real name is Brian Warner, has denied.

Many Slipknot fans have condemned the decision calling it a 'disappointment' and have said that they will not attend. However, there has been some positive feedback about Manson's inclusion with some fans saying it the 'perfect support act'.

Where are Slipknot touring in 2027?

After the Wembley opener in July 2027, Slipknot will head to North America, where Bring Me The Horizon will serve as direct support throughout the leg. The tour then concludes with shows in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia in September 2027.

The Slipknot tour only has one date for the UK & Europe, but there are a number of tour dates for North America which kicks off in Washington on July 16th, before concluding in Phoenix on August 18th. The band will then head to South America in September where they will perform to audiences in  Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru and Colombia.

Why are Slipknot touring in 2027?

The tour follows Slipknot's return to music earlier this month with their brand-new track 'Arsenal', which is their first new song in three years and the first material that the band have released since the departure of Sid Wilson and arrival of drummer Eloy Casagrande.

However, it seems that 'Arsenal' will not be appearing on their forthcoming album of which the band haven't revealed the name or the release date for, but the tour will support the album which will be Slipknot's first since 2022's 'The End, So Far'.

The tour's name is a nod to "(sic)," the opening track from the band's 1999 self-titled breakthrough and is set to be one of the most highly-anticipated tours of 2027 and the gigs will feature both a career-spanning set list and some exciting new staging.

Who will be supporting Slipknot on their 2027 tour?

For the North America dates, Bring Me the Horizon have been confirmed as support, but there also will be an impressive rotating cast of support acts  across the tour which will include Lamb of God, Motionless in White, Loathe, Acid Bath, Polyphia, Kublai Khan TX and Vended.

For the only UK & European date in July, Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore and Hatebreed will provide support for Slipknot at their Wembley opener.
