Slipknot announce 2020 tour, Madison Square Garden included (dates)
Slipknot have announced another ‘Knotfest Roadshow’ tour behind last year’s genuinely good We Are Not Your Kind, with support coming from A Day To Remember, Underoath, and Code Orange. Here’s a member of each band discussing the tour, via press release:
Speaking on the latest KNOTFEST ROADSHOW announcement, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor had the following to say:
“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.”
Adding to this, A Day To Remember guitarist Neil Westfall says
“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.”
And drummer and vocalist of Code Orange, Jami Morgan states
“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.”
Last time they were in the NYC-area, Slipknot played Jones Beach and PNC Bank Arts Center, but this time they’ll hit NYC proper for a larger show at the iconic Madison Square Garden on June 2 (which Slipknot also headlined in 2009). Unfortunately, Code Orange are sitting the MSG show out. Tickets for MSG go on sale Friday (2/7) at 10 AM with various presales starting today (2/4) at noon and more after that.
Slipknot also headline one night of Sonic Temple (Metallica headline the other two). All dates are listed below.
As for Code Orange, they’ve got an anticipated new album, Underneath, dropping March 13 via Roadrunner, and a headlining tour lined up. Still no NYC show for them… what do they have planned?
