After the band announced they'd be heading to Newcastle back in July, there was great excitement amongst Slipknot fans last week when the date and venue were confirmed for their Tyneside visit.
Slipknot, whose new album We Are Not Your Kind reached number one in the UK albums chart, initially announced their 2020 European tour on social media and Newcastle fans were delighted at the inclusion of the city where they have not performed since 2015.
Four years ago it was Korn who were the opening act, whereas when Slipknot return to the Utilita Arena on Friday, January 17, it will be Behemoth who are on opening act duties.
Slipknot's UK tour will open in Manchester the night before their Newcastle date and afterwards takes in Glasgow; Sheffield; Nottingham; Cardiff and Birmingham before wrapping up at the O2 in London on January 25.
