Slipknot are incredibly busy this year with their first-ever Knotfest UK and Knotfest At Sea. And now, the group will continue to celebrate their latest effort, We Are Not Your Kind, with a second leg of North American Knotfest Roadshow dates. This time around, the band has invited A Day To Remember, Underoath, and Code Orange as their special guests. The trek kicks off on May 30th in Syracuse, NY and is scheduled to run through June 25th in The Woodlands, TX. Tickets go on sale this Friday (7th) at 10am local time.
Corey Taylor comments:
“We set a precedent last year – Knotfest is a showcase where you never know what to expect. This year is no exception. The bands we have represent all corners of our musical world, just like we do. And they’re exciting as hell. I can’t wait to watch and enjoy them along with the rest of the fans.”
A Day To Remember guitarist Neil Westfall adds:
“We are stoked to share the stage with a band that has defined heavy music for an entire generation. This tour will be one of the best live shows this year.”
Underoath’s Chris Dudley says:
“When Slipknot asks you to come along for a summer of insanity, there are exactly zero questions to ask. You say yes. This is absolutely going to be one for the books….and we’re ready.”
Code Orange drummer/vocalist expresses:
“We’re very grateful to get the opportunity to do a full tour with Slipknot on the Knotfest Roadshow. Slipknot is one of the bands that we have had at the top of our list to be able to open for and hopefully be exposed to their amazing, cultural crowd that’s been around for a really long time. We’re very much looking forward to showing some new people what we can do.”
