They did an arena tour this year so definitely pretty big - maybe too big. It was right around Glastonbury though, so coming back again might be unlikely.

It certainly points to a chap who's open to doing stuff you might not expect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maelzoid Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 I think Slipknot are top of the bill or not at all. I'm not a fan but caught a fair slice of them at Download this year, and what a racket!? But the thing is, with an intricate stage design and 9 mouths to feed, the financial implications of a slipknot show cannot be discounted. They probably cannot break even unless they charge a hefty fee. I think that means inevitably they won't be at the farm any time soon. I could see Stone Sour doing it, but I think that would engender shrugs from most punters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really depends if they see themselves as the same as Metallica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superunknown Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Talk of Slipknot in the rock slot is nonsense really. They're headliners wherever they go, why would they play a festival where they'd have to take a massively reduced fee to play third down and where they don't have any particular affinity with.

The problem is you could have said that about plenty of acts that have done it over the years. Why would Janet Jackson do exactly that same thing? (in hindsight, she probably shouldn't have) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 That new Slipknot songs slap, I'd be well happy with them on the farm. I can't really see it though, why would they want to bring their music to the pyramid crowd? I don't think they're headliners either. Played 3rd down at R&L in '08 and you could argue they were bigger at that point. Obviously time has passed and they've headlined Download this year but I still don't think they're clear cut headliners (if they randomly decided to play).

They pulled out of R&L that year - but I do agree that they might play this slot / Other headline if it fits in with their plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeppelin Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Tour or no tour I just don't see it being Slipknot. As much as we'd enjoy it I just don't think they'd get booked or want to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
