Slipknot to play Nottingham on 2020 UK tour

Metal giants Slipknot have announced a UK tour for next year - and it will include a return to Nottingham.

The US band teased a poster today (Friday, July 19) listing all the cities they will be visiting - though no dates have been confirmed as yet.

There are also no details of exactly which venues they will be playing in each city but it will most likely be the Motorpoint Arena, as Nottingham's largest venue, where they last played in January 2015.

Fans last saw them in the East Midlands at this summer's Download festival at Donington Park (review and photos here).

No on sale date has been announced but keep an eye on Ticketmaster.

It is 20 years since they released their self-titled debut album.

Next month they will release We Are Not Your Kind.

Fans pre-ordering it through the Roadrunner Records online store before 11.30pm on August 8 will be eligible for an exclusive ticket pre-sale code granting early access to tickets.

"This is the most time we’ve had to write a record and work stuff out together," said guitarist Jim Root of the new album.

“One of my inspirations this time around was those artists that recorded full-length albums – not just songs. While the industry is moving toward singles, Slipknot wanted to make an album experience, front to back.”
