As if there was any doubt, we can now confirm that Slipknot will be touring the United States this summer.
Concert promoter Live Nation confirmed the news while unveiling the details of its “Ticket to Rock” promotion, which allows fans to buy a pack of tickets to multiple rock shows at the same venue for a discounted price. Slipknot is one of the main bands advertised for the promotion. Here is the info:
“Today Live Nation unveiled details for the 2019 Ticket to Rock– one ticket that gets fans in to some of the hottest rock shows all summer long. Artists included in this year’s package are: Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Behemoth, Chevelle, Gojira, Korn, Slipknot, Underoath, Volbeat & more. Full lineups and dates for the participating tours to be announced soon. In select cities, Shinedown and Slayer will also be a part of the package.
“Ticket to Rock makes it easier than ever for fans to get tickets to see some of their most anticipated rock bands live at an amphitheater near them this summer. The 3 show packages start at just $59 and 4 show packages in select cities that include Shinedown or Slayer start at $69. Ticket packages will go on sale beginning today at 12pm local time at LiveNation.com.”
You can get your tickets here. Odd that Live Nation is launching the promotion before you know the exact dates of some of these tours.
