Slipknot have announced a Wales date on their UK arena tour.

The group will headline the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff on Wednesday, January 22 .

They previously teased the tour earlier this year, confirming the cities they'd visit alongside the announcement of their album.

Their sixth studio album 'We Are Not Your Kind' reached number on the UK Albums Chart this month.

It was their first to do so since 2001 and the first metal album to reach the top spot in a number of years.

It features singles 'Unsainted' and 'Solway Filth' and received acclaim from critics.

Their upcoming tour will mark their biggest shows to date and follows up their career-spanning headline set at Download Festival this summer.

They'll also head to Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield, Nottingham, London and Birmingham on the tour with support coming from Polish metal group Behemoth.
