SLIPKNOT HEADLINE SHOWS NEW ZEALAND TICKETS 2025

About

Slipknot is an American heavy metal band from Des Moines, Iowa. The band was founded in 1995 by percussionist Shawn Crahan, drummer Joey Jordison and bassist Paul Gray. After several lineup changes in its early years, the band settled on nine members for more than a decade: Shawn Crahan, Joey Jordison, Paul Gray, Corey Taylor, Mick Thomson, Jim Root, Craig Jones, Sid Wilson, and Chris Fehn.

Gray died on May 24, 2010, and was replaced during 2011–2014 by guitarist Donnie Steele. Jordison left the band on December 12, 2013. Steele left during the recording sessions for .5: The Gray Chapter. The band found replacements in Alessandro Venturella on bass and Jay Weinberg on drums. After the departure of Jordison, as of December 2013the only founding member in the current lineup is percussionist Crahan.

Between Download, Good Things and UNIFY Gathering, it’s safe to say that the once barren heavy music festival scene in Australia is thriving once again (well, the East Coast at least). But it sounds like there’s a decent chance we could end up adding Knotfest to that epic list!

Corey Taylor has shared Slipknot‘s plans for expanding their branded monster metal fest (which spawned in the bowls of their hometown of Iowa) into an international touring event.
