UPDATE: The final routing has been announced. We have updated it below.While all signs point to tomorrow morning being the official launch of Slipknot's massive summer tour, it seems more cities and venues have surfaced for the band's highly anticipated return to the road this summer. The band is expected to be touring with Volbeat, Behemoth and Gojira.
WolverineKills posted the dates on its Facebook page. We cannot confirm yet that this is the final routing, but WolverineKills has a stellar track record of leaking previous Mayhem Fest announcements, so we assume they didn't just pull these dates out of thin air. All is expected to be confirmed tomorrow morning, and we will update this page when it is.

Earlier in the week, Slipknot launched a new website, WeAreNotYourKind.com. The phrase "We Are Not Your Kind" has been popping up ever since Slipknot released their most recent single, "All Out Life." In fact, the phrase is a lyric in the song, and Taylor has even hash tagged teases of his new mask with #WANYK. We have speculated, as have others, that "We Are Not Your Kind" might be the title of the new album.
When you hit the website, you are greeted with a countdown and the Slipknot bar code. If you visit from a desktop device, the site asks you to visit via a mobile device. Once you visit via mobile, it asks your location and then spits back map coordinates in latitude and longitude if the band is touring near your area. Some fans get a tease for August 9, 2019 when sharing their data – which is a Friday, suggesting that might be the planned release date for the album.
The countdown is teasing a reveal for this Monday, March 4th.
