American heavy metal heavyweights Slipknot have officially announced their massive 2027 world tour, titled the “(sic)est Stadium Tour.” The tour features a lineup including Marilyn Manson, Hatebreed, Lorna Shore, and Bring Me The Horizon. It kicks off with the band’s largest UK headline performance to date at London’s historic Wembley Stadium on July 3, 2027, marking their only European show of that year.
The (sic)est Stadium Tour Details and Lineup
Running from July through September 2027, the global trek takes the masked eight-piece group through outdoor venues and stadiums across North America and South America. Stops include prominent locations such as Toronto’s Rogers Stadium, Washington’s Nationals Park, Chicago’s Soldier Field, Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, and final stretches in Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and Colombia.
The tour features an extensive rotating roster of supporting acts across various dates:
- Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed: Supporting at London’s Wembley Stadium and select South American dates in Buenos Aires, Santiago, and Bogotá.
- Bring Me The Horizon: Direct support for major North American stops like Washington, DC and New York.
- Other Openers: Acid Bath, Lorna Shore, Lamb of God, Polyphia, Motionless In White, Kublai Khan TX, Loathe, and Vended.
Immediate Fan Backlash Over Marilyn Manson’s Inclusion
The inclusion of 57-year-old shock rocker Marilyn Manson as a support act for the London kickoff and South American legs sparked swift backlash on social media. Thousands of fans voiced disapproval on platforms like Instagram, criticizing the decision regarding ongoing sexual abuse and assault allegations levied against Manson since 2020.
Numerous ticket holders expressed disappointment and vowed to boycott the Wembley Stadium opening show. One user noted on social media: “Would’ve loved to see this but there’s literally nothing you could do to get my cash in Manson’s pockets.” Conversely, other supporters defended the booking, pointing out the shared aesthetic and audience base between the two veteran musical acts.
Manson has consistently and categorically denied any wrongdoing regarding all allegations against him. He is currently scheduled to stand trial in November 2027 in connection to a sexual assault and battery lawsuit filed by his former assistant, Ashley Walters.
Band Lineup Changes and New Music
The upcoming stadium run arrives during a transitional era for Slipknot. The band recently dropped a surprise standalone single titled “Arsenal”-their first new material in four years-which features newly recruited drummer Eloy Casagrande. Guitarist Jim Root confirmed that “Arsenal” will not appear on the group’s forthcoming studio album, which is currently being recorded with producer Matt Wallace.
The touring lineup also reflects recent departures, including longtime turntablist Sid Wilson and former sampler Craig Jones parting ways with the group over the previous touring cycle.
