Cryptic Stadium Teasers
Major International Stadiums Tease Cryptic Slipknot Campaign Ahead of Expected Tour
Anonymous
Slipknot’s cryptic campaign pointing to September 28 has intensified speculation about a major 2027 stadium tour, with Wembley Stadium and venues across the United States and Canada posting the band’s imagery. The teasers follow Slipknot-branded posters appearing in cities across North, Central and South America and London, directing fans to the band’s promotional website. No tour dates, venues or supporting acts have been officially confirmed, though the breadth of the campaign suggests an announcement could cover more than a handful of shows. The buildup comes after the band released “Arsenal,” a standalone single that guitarist Jim Root says will not appear on the group’s upcoming album, which is being developed with producer Matt Wallace.
