Speaking on the latest Knotfest Roadshow 2020 North American Tour announcement, band members had this to say.
“We set a precedent last year – Knotfest is a showcase where you never know what to expect,” said Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor. “This year is no exception. The bands we have represent all corners of our musical world, just like we do. And they’re exciting as hell. I can’t wait to watch and enjoy them along with the rest of the fans.”
"We are stoked to share the stage with a band that has defined heavy music for an entire generation,” said A Day To Remember guitarist Neil Westfall. “This tour will be one of the best live shows this year."
"When Slipknot asks you to come along for a summer of insanity, there are exactly zero questions to ask. You say ‘yes,’” said Underoath’s Chris Dudley. “This is absolutely going to be one for the books....and we’re ready."
"We're very grateful to get the opportunity to do a full tour with Slipknot on the Knotfest Roadshow,” said Code Orange drummer and vocalist, Jami Morgan. “Slipknot is one of the bands that we have had at the top of our list to be able to open for and hopefully be exposed to their amazing, cultural crowd that's been around for a really long time. We're very much looking forward to showing some new people what we can do."
“We Are Not Your Kind,” Slipknot’s sixth studio album, is highlighted by the current singles “Nero Forte,” “Solway Firth” and the long play’s lead single, “Unsainted.” The three tracks feature an M. Shawn Crahan-directed official music video, and each trended worldwide on YouTube with “Unsainted” at number one worldwide for a full 24 hours. “We Are Not Your Kind” debuted at number one on both the U.S. Billboard 200 and the U.K. Albums chart as well as several other charts around the world. The album received critical acclaim as numerous critics hailed the album as one of the best releases in Slipknot's career, applauding the level of experimentation displayed on several songs. Others highlighted it as a landmark release in the heavy metal genre. "Unsainted" reached number 10 on the U.S. Billboard Mainstream Rock chart, while "Solway Firth" also reached the top 10 on the U.K. Rock & Metal Singles chart.
Slipknot continue to traverse the world to capacity crowds in support of their number one album, “We Are Not Your Kind.” Their live show continues to fill bigger arenas and to blow minds around the world. Reviews of the current sold-out European arena tour are rolling in and are unanimous in their praise – Kerrang gave the London O2 Arena show its highest rating saying, "There is no better metal band on earth than this."
The Knotfest brand continues to expand around the globe with landmark events held in the U.S., Japan, Mexico and Colombia as well as 2019’s debut collaboration with French destination festival, Hellfest, for Knotfest Meets Hellfest. In additional new territory for 2020, the inaugural Knotfest at Sea sets sail on August 10 from Barcelona and the first-ever Knotfest U.K. takes place at The National Bowl on August 22 in Milton Keynes. Both events are headlined by Slipknotwith line-ups still to be announced.
