The 2022 Knotfest Roadshow has officially been announced by Slipknot. It will be split into two, one-month legs, touring around North America. For the first run, rock bands, In This Moment and Jinjer, will be supporting. Then, for the second night, Cypress Hill and Ho99o9 will be opening.
The first part of the tour will be starting off in March 16 in Fargo, North Dakota. It ends April 17 in Vancouver, British Columbia. The month of tour kicks off March 18 in University Park, Pennsylvania. Then, it ends June 18 in Chula Vista, California.
The members of Slipknot are all very excited for 2022 tour. They feel good about getting back on the road and even share with fans that this upcoming tour will be a “brand new experience.” With the hardships of Covid, it’s something both the band and the fans are strongly looking forward to.
Here’s what frontman Corey Taylor had to say on the 2022 tour,
“Whether it’s In This Moment and Jinjer, or Cypress and Ho99o9, we pride ourselves in bringing our fans the epicenter of our music and art. Come celebrate with us, and try to stay as safe as we will be.”
Live Nation will be giving ticket buyers collectible NFT ticket stubs, all part of their new initiative.
