Slipknot have announced they will return to the UK for eight headline shows in 2020.

The news comes after the heavy metal band teased European dates during their headline performance at Download Festival 2019

UK fans can expect Slipknot shows in Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield, Nottingham, Cardiff, Birmingham and London. Specific dates and venues are yet to be revealed.

Slipknot announced the news on Twitter on Friday, posting a pre-order ticket link and writing: “We’ll be returning to select cities across Europe & the UK in 2020, with dates and venues to be announced at a later time.”

The UK tour is part of a wider European trip that will include gigs in Dublin, as well as cities in Germany, France, Italy and other countries on the continent.
