After announcing the concert last summer, Slipknot will arrive in Newcastle on Friday night with on their eagerly awaited tour.
The concert marks the American band's first gig on Tyneside for four years, and the European tour comes hot on the heels of their latest album We Are Not Your Kind reaching number one in the UK albums chart.
They will be back at the Arena where they were previously supported by nu-metal pioneers Korn back in 2015 and tickets for the gig flew out as soon as they went on sale at the end of July.
The Iowa band have had number one records across the world in their 20-plus year career, and We Are Not Your Kind, their sixth album, won rave reviews.
If you were hoping to get to the gig but still haven't got round to getting tickets, the good news is that there are still some available online from Ticketmaster and in person from the arena box office. They are priced from £50 and VIP packages are also available.
Slipknot will be supported in Newcastle this time round by Behemoth.
The stage times for the gig are as follows, and as always, the arena advises ticket holders to get there in good time to get through security checks.

Behemoth - 7.30pm
