Slipknot 2026 World Tour — Official Statement**
Maggots around the world, get ready — our 2026 World Tour is real. We’re taking the chaos global, hitting every continent, bringing the fire, and making this the ultimate live experience. For over two decades, Slipknot has lived, bled, and burned for the stage, and now, as the world spins into another era of noise and rebirth, we’re ready to unleash something even darker, heavier, and more powerful than ever before.
This tour isn’t just another string of shows. It’s a declaration — a promise — a scream from the depths of everything that makes us who we are. The masks may evolve, the sound may shift, but the heartbeat remains the same: loud, raw, and unstoppable. The Maggots have been the pulse that’s kept us alive through every album, every tour, every loss, and every resurrection. You are the fire beneath the mask, and in 2026, we’re bringing that fire back to you.
*The Journey Begins**
The 2026 World Tour marks a new chapter — not just for Slipknot, but for the entire community that has grown around this madness. From the underground shows in Iowa to headlining festivals across the globe, every step has led to this moment. We’re ready to carve new scars into the world map — from Tokyo to São Paulo, from Berlin to Los Angeles, from Sydney to Cape Town — every city will shake under the weight of what’s coming.
Every night will be a ritual. Every venue, a cathedral of chaos. This is not entertainment. This is communion through sound, fury, and sweat. For those who have been there since the self-titled album, for those who found us in *Iowa*, for those who came alive with *Vol. 3*, *All Hope Is Gone*, *The Gray Chapter*, *We Are Not Your Kind*, and *The End, So Far* — this tour is for you.
The Experience**
Slipknot live has always been a storm — nine bodies on stage, every one of them a weapon, every song a detonator. In 2026, that storm evolves. Expect new masks, new visuals, and a stage design unlike anything we’ve ever done before. The show will blend brutal precision with pure chaos — lights, fire, and visuals that will haunt your senses long after the final note fades.
We’re bringing back the intensity of the early days, but amplified through everything we’ve learned since. Expect classics like “Duality,” “Psychosocial,” “Before I Forget,” and “People = Sh*t,” reimagined with new layers of aggression and sound. Expect deep cuts from the past that haven’t seen the light of the stage in years. Expect new material — songs born from pain, change, and everything this world has put us through.
A Global Call to the Maggots
Everywhere we go, we see the same fire in your eyes. Whether it’s 200 Maggots in a club or 60,000 in an arena, the energy is the same — raw, real, unstoppable. This tour is a thank-you, but it’s also a challenge. We want every crowd to go harder, scream louder, and lose themselves more completely than ever before.
The Maggots are not just fans — you are family. You’ve carried us through darkness, through loss, through silence. You’ve tattooed the logo, worn the masks, screamed the words. You’ve kept this alive. And now, we return that energy tenfold.
Legacy and Rebirth
Slipknot has always been about transformation. Every album, every mask, every tour represents change — personal, emotional, global. The world has shifted since our last tour. The stage has changed. The world is louder, angrier, more connected, and more fractured than ever. But our message remains the same: unity through chaos, strength through pain, truth through sound.
2026 is not just another tour — it’s a rebirth. It’s a reminder that heavy music still matters, that community still matters, that connection still matters. The masks may evolve, the faces may change, but the mission never dies.
What’s Coming
This tour will span continents — North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, and beyond. Expect festival headlining sets, intimate arena shows, and special nights dedicated to the Maggots who’ve been with us since day one. Expect collaborations, unexpected guests, and the return of moments we thought were lost to time.
We’re also bringing something special — a new visual experience that blurs the line between concert and nightmare. Think of it as a living Slipknot film unfolding in real time. Every sound, every scream, every flicker of light is part of the story. You won’t just watch this show — you’ll live it.
Behind the Masks
As always, what happens behind the masks is just as important. The band has spent the last few years in deep creative motion. We’ve written, recorded, and destroyed countless ideas to arrive at what’s coming next. The 2026 Tour will be tied to new music — songs that carry the spirit of everything we’ve survived. Songs that question, that scream, that burn.
Corey, Clown, Mick, Jim, Sid, and the rest of the band have poured themselves into this next era. The masks will reflect that — they’ll be darker, rawer, and more symbolic than ever before. Each design tells a story — of pain, of rebirth, of evolution.
A Message to the Maggots**
This isn’t nostalgia. This isn’t a farewell. This is the next chapter. Slipknot has never been about looking back — it’s about pushing forward through everything. Through the noise, through the loss, through the fire.
To every Maggot reading this: thank you. Thank you for the years, the blood, the belief. Thank you for keeping the torch burning even when the world went dark. You are the reason we do this. You are the reason Slipknot still breathes.
When we hit your city, be ready. Leave your fears at the door. Bring your mask, your voice, your rage, your love, your everything. When the lights go out and the siren hits, we want to see the world lose its mind together — one pit, one scream, one heartbeat.
This is not the end. This is not the past.
This is the storm returning.
This is Slipknot.
This is the 2026 World Tour.
Prepare yourselves, Maggots.
Because when we come for you — it won’t just be a show.
It’ll be a reckoning.
We are not your kind. We never were. And in 2026, the world will remember why.
