Slipknot has announced its biggest tour to date, the (Sic)est Stadium Tour, set to dominate stadiums across the globe in 2027. As Billboard first reported, the massive run will feature a powerhouse lineup of support acts, including Bring Me The Horizon on all North American dates. The tour marks a major return to the stage for the masked metal icons after a year off the road in 2026.
The North American leg kicks off on July 16 at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C., and includes a confirmed Southern California date at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood on August 13. According to JamBase, the tour’s name is a nod to “(sic),” the opening track from the band’s seminal 1999 self-titled album. Produced by Live Nation, the tour promises new staging and a career-spanning setlist.
Tour Dates and a Rotating Cast of Heavy Hitters
The international excursion begins on July 3 at London’s Wembley Stadium before crossing the Atlantic. Per the official announcement, the support roster is a who’s who of modern heavy music, with a rotating cast of special guests across different dates. Lamb of God, Motionless in White, Lorna Shore, Loathe, and Polyphia are among the artists joining on select North American shows. Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed will appear on the London and South American dates.
As detailed by Grimy Goods, ticket presales begin on September 29, with a general on-sale starting Friday, October 2, at 10 a.m. local time. The announcement follows the recent release of “Arsenal,” Slipknot’s first new music in over three years, though guitarist Jim Root has confirmed the track will not be on the band’s forthcoming album.
A Landmark Show for SoCal Metal Fans
The August 13 concert at SoFi Stadium is poised to be one of the largest metal events in Southern California for 2027. The venue, with a capacity of over 70,000, is a fitting setting for what is billed as the band’s most ambitious production yet. This show provides a major focal point for the region’s robust metal community, which has a strong appetite for large-scale heavy music events. The inclusion of diverse support acts like the technically adventurous Polyphia, who have multiple SoCal shows scheduled for early 2027, underscores the tour’s broad appeal across heavy music subgenres.
This stadium date follows a pattern of major metal acts choosing SoFi for landmark shows, cementing the venue’s status as a premier destination for arena rock and metal. For local fans, it represents a rare opportunity to experience Slipknot’s visceral spectacle on a truly grand scale.
What Comes Next
With the tour announcement, attention now turns to the upcoming album cycle. In a recent social media post highlighted by Louder Sound, guitarist Jim Root teased that the band is deep in the recording process for their next album, promising it will “hurt some feelings” and represents a new, experimental direction. The 2027 tour will likely serve as the primary platform to showcase this new material alongside the band’s extensive catalog of hits. As ticket sales begin, Southern California fans will be vying for a spot at what is set to be a defining concert of the summer.
