Nine members. One stage. Pure chaos — see Slipknot live!
Few bands in heavy music hit as hard as Slipknot. For over 25 years, the nine-member crew from Des Moines, Iowa has been turning stages into absolute war zones — and fans keep coming back for more. From the iconic masks and jumpsuits to the wall-of-sound assault that blends metal, percussion, and barely contained fury, a Slipknot show is an experience that goes way beyond just music. If you've been, you know. If you haven't, you're missing out.
The band wrapped up a massive 25th Anniversary Tour in 2024-2025, celebrating a quarter-century of mayhem with packed arenas around the world. Meanwhile, new drummer Eloy Casagrande — who joined in early 2024 — has injected fresh energy into the lineup. Corey Taylor has hinted that new music is in the works, and the long-shelved experimental project Look Outside Your Window finally dropped in April 2026. With a new album potentially on the horizon, the stage is set for Slipknot's next chapter.

Slipknot exploded out of Des Moines, Iowa in 1999 with a self-titled debut that rewrote the rules of heavy music. Nine masked members — each with a number, each with a role in the sonic assault — delivered something the metal world hadn't seen before: a blend of nu-metal aggression, industrial percussion, turntablism, and raw, unfiltered rage. Founding members Shawn "Clown" Crahan and the late Paul Gray built the band from the ground up, and vocalist Corey Taylor became the voice of a generation of metalheads when he joined in 1997.
Over seven studio albums, Slipknot has evolved while never losing that core intensity. Iowa (2001) is widely regarded as one of the heaviest albums ever recorded. Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) showed their range with tracks like "Vermilion" and "Before I Forget," which won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. All Hope Is Gone debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and later albums like .5: The Gray Chapter — a tribute to the late Paul Gray — and The End, So Far (2022) proved the band could keep pushing boundaries. On Spotify, Slipknot racks up tens of millions of monthly listeners, with "Psychosocial," "Duality," "Before I Forget," and "Snuff" leading the way.
The band's live shows are the stuff of legend. Slipknot's annual Knotfest has grown into a global festival brand with events across multiple continents. Their 25th Anniversary Tour in 2024-2025 was a massive celebration that hit arenas worldwide, proving that even after a quarter-century, the demand for Slipknot live is as strong as ever. The addition of drummer Eloy Casagrande — formerly of Sepultura — in early 2024 brought a new level of technical precision to the already punishing rhythm section.
On the music front, 2026 saw the long-awaited release of Look Outside Your Window, an experimental side project featuring Taylor, Jim Root, Crahan, and Sid Wilson. The material — originally recorded during the All Hope Is Gone sessions — finally saw the light of day on Record Store Day 2026. Meanwhile, Corey Taylor has confirmed that a brand-new Slipknot studio album is in the works, with recording complete and mixing underway. The next chapter of Slipknot promises to be one of the most exciting yet.
