Slipknot kicked off their Knotfest Roadshow earlier this week. Seeing as though we are in the throngs of summer, and they are playing amphitheaters, some of which provide very little shade, the band made the wise decision of changing their jumpsuits to a more summer-friendly white.
As anybody who's taken elementary school science would know, white clothing reflects the heat of the sun while darker clothing absorbs it. I imagine those jumpsuits are hot enough where Slipknot don't need the help.
They shared these photos on their Instagram page:
