Slipknot have announced details of their upcoming Knotfest Roadshow North American headline tour. Support on all dates will come from Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth.
The 29-city outing will kick off July 26 in Mountain View, California at Shoreline Amphitheater and wrap September 8 at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas.
The band has also announced an August 9 release date for their upcoming sixth studio album, the follow up to 2014’s .5: The Gray Chapter. Each pair of tickets purchased online comes with a digital copy of the new album.
Tickets for the summer tour go on sale to the general public beginning Friday, March 8 at 10:00 A.M. local time at LiveNation.com.
Back in October, Slipknot surprise-released a brand new track, “All Out Life,” which is scheduled to be included on the still-untitled forthcoming album.
Said Slipknot’s Shawn Crahan at the time: “Right now is a very exciting time for Slipknot. We’ve been working on new music for the last two years, and ‘All Out Life,’ the song and the video, is just one of many concepts in the works. It’s a fitting taste to get you to the next thing. Get ready for what’s to come. We challenge you to All Out Life.”
