Slipknot co-headlined Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas last night (April 27) with a career-spanning setlist for which they donned their classic original masks and red boiler suits.
Appropriately for their attire, and for their celebrations of the 25th anniversary of their self-titled 1999 debut album, their setlist leaned on material from their first three records, the others being 2001’s ‘Iowa’ and 2004’s ‘Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses’.
Three-quarters of the set was from those albums, while they also threw in ‘Psychosocial’, TikTok favourite ‘Custer’ and the more recent cut ‘Unsainted’, from 2019’s ‘We Are Not Your Kind’.
Check out the setlist and footage of the show below:

The Nine had also played in their classic outfits for an intimate club show last night (April 25) at the Pappy + Harriet s barbecue bar in Pioneertown, California. The surprise gig had been announced one day prior to the show date on April 24.
The intimate gig marked Slipknot s first concert with their new drummer “ who is still unnamed “ following the shocking firing of Jay Weinberg late last year. Their new drummer is heavily speculated to be former Sepultura percussionist Eloy Casagrande, thought the band have yet to confirm his identity.
The intimate gig comes after percussionist and founding member Shawn ˜Clown Crahan told NME that the band are going back to basics this year to celebrate their 25th anniversary. We re going back to basics. I m ready to kick everybody in the face again! I m ready to do a 100-person venue again! I m ready to do a 500-person venue ¦
They will also be returning to the UK this winter to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album. Visit here for remaining tickets.
Speaking to NME about what Slipknot have planned for 2024, Crahan said: I m ready to move on from what has been, and move onto a world that I know needs to be. For instance, normally we d have about two years on and one-and-a-half years off ” we re not doing that anymore.
