Slipknot have booked the biggest tour of their career: a nineteen-date stadium run they’re calling the (sic)est Stadium Tour, opening at Wembley Stadium in London on July 3, 2027, crossing North America through July and August, and finishing with five South American stadiums in September. Marilyn Manson is on the bill — but only at Wembley and the five South American shows, not one US or Canadian date.

Bring Me The Horizon are on every North American date, and the openers rotate through Lamb of God, Lorna Shore, Hatebreed, Motionless In White, Polyphia, Loathe, Acid Bath, Kublai Khan TX and Vended depending on the city. Presales start Tuesday, September 29 at 10am local time, with general on-sale Friday, October 2 at 10am local through Live Nation. The Slipknot tour 2027 is the first time the band have headlined stadiums at this scale, and it arrives less than three weeks after they dropped their first new song in four years.

I spent a lot of years watching arena bands take the stadium leap on the radio side of the fence, and the tell was always the same. It’s not the headliner that decides whether the run works. It’s whether the bill under them is strong enough to fill a parking lot at five in the afternoon. Slipknot clearly know that, because they’ve stacked this thing like a festival that moves.

What Slipknot Actually Announced

The press language calls these the biggest venues of the band’s thirty-year career, and for once that isn’t marketing stretch. Fenway Park. Soldier Field. Citi Field. SoFi Stadium. Chase Field. Nationals Park. Those aren’t rooms Slipknot have headlined before; those are rooms almost no metal band has headlined, ever.

The run opens July 3 at Wembley Stadium, which is the one date that stands alone. Nothing else in Europe, nothing else in the UK. One night in London and then straight across the Atlantic for thirteen North American dates starting in Washington on July 16. It closes with five South American stadiums, São Paulo through Bogotá, between September 4 and 16.

Brand new staging and a career-spanning set are promised. Given what the current Slipknot lineup looks like now, career-spanning is going to mean something different than it did two years ago.

The Marilyn Manson Question

Here’s the name that made every editor in the business sit up. Marilyn Manson is on the poster, and the internet did what the internet does inside about four minutes.

But read the routing before you react. Manson is on six of the nineteen dates: Wembley, and all five South American shows. He is not on a single North American date. If you’re buying a ticket in Chicago or Los Angeles, you’re getting Bring Me The Horizon and a rotating third act, and Manson is a rumour on a different continent.

That’s a very deliberate booking. Manson’s recent history is tangled: the Los Angeles County District Attorney declined to file criminal charges in January 2025, citing the statute of limitations and the evidence available, but a civil lawsuit from a former assistant is headed to a jury trial in November 2027, revived under a California law that reopened a window for older claims. Manson has categorically denied any wrongdoing in relation to every allegation made against him, and his lawyers have said publicly they’re confident the case never reaches a courtroom.

Slipknot didn’t put him on any US date. Draw whatever conclusion you like from that; I have mine. What I’ll say is that as a live act, Manson in 2026 has been better than he’s been in fifteen years. If you’ve gone back through the Manson catalogue ranked recently, you know the peak is real. Whether the Wembley crowd wants to hear it is a question for July.

Who Opens Where

This is the part that decides whether your night is worth the money, so here’s the full map.

Wembley Stadium, July 3 — Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed. Some reports had Lorna Shore on this date as well; the official routing does not list them, so don’t buy on that assumption.

North America — Bring Me The Horizon are on every date from Washington to Phoenix. The third act rotates:

• July 16 — Washington, DC — Nationals Park — Acid Bath
• July 18 — Queens, NY — Citi Field — Acid Bath
• July 21 — Montréal, QC — Parc Jean Drapeau — Vended, Kublai Khan TX
• July 23 — Toronto, ON — Rogers Stadium — Kublai Khan TX
• July 25 — Chicago, IL — Soldier Field — Lamb of God
• July 28 — Hershey, PA — Hersheypark Stadium — Lorna Shore
• July 31 — Boston, MA — Fenway Park — Lorna Shore
• August 3 — Nashville, TN — FirstBank Stadium — Kublai Khan TX
• August 6 — Houston, TX — Daikin Park — Polyphia
• August 9 — Commerce City, CO — Dick’s Sporting Goods Park — Loathe
• August 13 — Inglewood, CA — SoFi Stadium — Loathe
• August 15 — San Francisco, CA — Golden Gate Park — Motionless In White, Loathe
• August 18 — Phoenix, AZ — Chase Field — Motionless In White

South America — Marilyn Manson and Hatebreed on every date:

• September 4 — São Paulo, Brazil — The Town
• September 8 — Buenos Aires, Argentina — Estadio Huracán
• September 12 — Santiago, Chile — Estadio Nacional
• September 14 — Lima, Peru — Estadio Nacional
• September 16 — Bogotá, Colombia — Vive Claro

Two things jump out. Acid Bath opening a baseball stadium in New York is the most 2027 sentence I’ve typed this year, and I mean that as a compliment. And Montréal, with Vended on the bill, is the one night you get Corey Taylor’s kid’s band and Corey Taylor’s band on the same stage. That’s a family reunion with pyro.

The Band Walking Onto Those Stages

This isn’t the Slipknot that last toured. Since the end of the last cycle, the band confirmed Sid Wilson’s exit after the messiest public departure in their history, Craig Jones is gone from the sampler station, and Eloy Casagrande has been behind the kit since Jay Weinberg was let go. Three chairs changed, and the stadium tour is the first time most fans will see the result.

The one piece of new music is ‘Arsenal,’ the surprise single from earlier this month — the first recording with Casagrande and the first without Wilson and Jones. Jim Root was careful to say it was just the song they could finish soonest, not a lead single, and there is still no confirmed new Slipknot album. So the honest expectation for July 2027 is a set built on the back catalogue, which, if you’ve spent any time with the Slipknot albums ranked, you know is not a problem.

UK prog rebels Frost* will return to the stage for six UK shows in Spring 2027 to celebrate a multitude of milestones as 2026 marks the 20th anniversary of ‘Milliontown’ as well as the 10th anniversary of ‘Falling Satellites.’ The band will reunite onstage for the first time in five years to play a full two-hour set showcasing songs from all five Frost* albums, including the long-awaited live debut of the most recent award-winning and hugely acclaimed album “Life In The Wires.’ Tickets on sale Friday October 2nd, 10 am UK time here:

To further commemorate the anniversaries of ‘Milliontown’ and ‘Falling Satellites’, the band are working on a re-recorded version of ‘Milliontown’ featuring the now-considered classic lineup of Jem Godfrey, John Mitchell, Nathan King and Craig Blundell as well as an updated recording of ‘Falling Satellites’ for later release.

“It’s going to be the longest set we’ve ever played at 2 hours and we hope to cram as much in as we can from the entire back catalogue. That said, we also need to give Life In The Wires a bit of a spin too don’t we? Nice problem to have really.” – Jem Godfrey

Creeper Share Video for ‘Parasite’ Ahead of UK Shows

CREEPER today unveil a brand new video for ‘Parasite’, the arena-sized goth anthem taken from their acclaimed album ‘Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death’. It arrives as the band prepare to embark upon their ‘Off With Their Heads!’ tour, which promises to take their ever-theatrical live spectacle to the next level as they bring the characters and themes of the ‘Sanguivore’ story to life.

 

The band’s vampire familiar, Darcia, teased the video last week by sharing footage of Creeper’s videographer Harry Steel. In a gloomy, hostage-style clip, Harry revealed that he had spent much of the previous ‘Sanguitour’ tour turning his camera away from the band and towards the fans, suggesting there might be consequences for his actions: “If I don’t make it out, this is goodbye.”

Titled ‘For The Lovers’, the new ‘Parasite’ video showcases the intensity of Creeper’s live performance while putting the focus firmly on the fans who make their shows what they are. From screaming every word and losing themselves in the moment, to those who arrive in elaborate costumes and make-up inspired by the ‘Sanguivore’ world, the video celebrates the unique connection between Creeper and their audience – the friendships and community that have become such an important part of the band’s ‘frightfest’ live show. 

 

Frontman William Von Ghould says, “We realised pretty quickly that the real drama of these shows was happening in front of the band, in the crowd, rather than onstage. So Harry turned the camera around and focused on the people watching us. The video is really a love letter to the fans of this vampire era. The costumes, the dedication and the emotional connection people have with these songs have made this whole world feel far bigger than we ever could have imagined, and Harry has captured that perfectly.”

 

Creeper have also announced that Harry Steel will capture their upcoming London show on Oct 9th for the band’s first-ever full-length live concert film.

 

William adds, “We’re also very excited to announce that Harry will be making a brand new full-length Creeper concert film. This tour is set to be the most ambitious of our career, and we’re thrilled to have Harry there to capture it. We’ve never made a full live film before, so this feels like a pretty special opportunity to document this era properly.”

 

Creeper will bring their ‘Off With Their Heads!’ tour to the following venues, with limited tickets remaining HERE. The band will then head to North America for an extensive run of dates as special guests to Hawthorne Heights.

OCTOBER

8th- Cardiff, Tramshed
9th – London, O2 Forum Kentish Town
10th – Manchester, Academy
11th – Glasgow, SWG3 Galvanisers

Celebrated US alternative singer-songwriter Chelsea Wolfe recently released her ninth studio album The Dark to much critical acclaim, and to celebrate, Metal Hammer has teamed up with Chelsea for an exclusive new bundle that you won’t find anywhere else.

The bundle includes a special variant edition of the upcoming November issue of Metal Hammer – in stores October 15 – with an exclusive Chelsea Wolfe cover, alongside a ‘Hermit’ tarot card keyring also bearing Chelsea’s initials.

The bundle will only be available through the official Metal Hammer store, so get yours now while you can.

Order the new Chelsea Wolfe x Metal Hammer bundle here.

Reviewing The Dark for Metal Hammer, writer Alex Deller noted: “For her ninth album, the Californian singer-songwriter reinvents herself once again, citing a need to be a truer, newer version of herself rather than cede to the expectations of others,” suggesting that Chelsea’s trademark “glower and menace has been scrubbed down to a more accessible sheen.”

Acknowledging the more straightforward nature of her writing for recent single Cold, Chelsea told Metal Hammer: “It felt scary because it was so direct. I wasn’t hiding behind layers of noise or metaphorical haze. I was just singing a song, and that felt like a real risk for me.”

PinkPantheress is now the type of artist who wins MTV Video Music Awards, though not the kind where the actual awards get televised. Last night, PinkPantheress took home her first-ever moonman trophy, winning the non-broadcast Best Art Direction award for the “Stateside” remix with Zara Larsson. She was in the building for the ceremony, striking poses with peers like Charli XCX.

Album Review: Master – Among the Seeds of Death

Reviewed by Sam Jones

Master are easily the most underrated, longest running band to have never achieved the adamant respect owed to them. Formed way back in 1983 out of Illinois, United States originally, Master led the charge of death metal with their first Demos in 1985 though with sporadic activity, releasing their self-titled debut full length in 1990 since which Master have been continuously churning out record after record, tour after tour, with unceasing and unwavering commitment to extreme metal. Later moving to the Czech Republic Master, fronted by the towering name of Paul Speckmann, has one of the most consistently excellent discographies in death metal. Today brings us to their sixteenth studio album, Among The Seeds Of Death, primed for an October 16th release window. Once again partnered with Hammerheart Records Master are currently set to see their forty-fifth anniversary in just two years, a milestone I’m confident they’ll see and surpass with ease. Let’s dive back into the sordid and calamitous world that is Master.

Master’s furious stance on death metal is derived from their unflinching belief in keeping songwriting simple. There’s never been a Master record where one has come away thinking it were surprising my avant-garde or technical; on their sixteenth full length work they’ve come round to bash your brains in with a bricks and see to it there’s enough left of you for another round of punishment. A multitude of tracks here feature straightforward riff patterns, the kind that allow for ease of access and ease for the vocals to run along. In addition, Master’s straightforward attitude to extreme metal results in keener focus on the audience’s part; we’re not going to feel sidetracked nor pulled on some sudden tangent because the songwriting decides to shake things up. What you experience at the start is likely what you’ll experience towards the end but given Master’s proclivity for death metal excellence and the rapport their name has garnered, that’s going what you’ve come here for.

What their songwriting does champion here which can be lost on those only seeking speed from Master is the band’s surprisingly methodical playing. Yes, the songwriting is predominantly straightforward and isn’t about to flashbang you with unnecessary fat but there are moments where their guitar work slows just enough to warrant attention, showing a change in the flow of things, utilising intricate note playing and leading into a riff pattern more developed than Master typically sport. With that said the tempo Master play with is fast but it’s in fact a little slower than their contemporaries may opt for, therefore they’re able to pack in that little more material into a track that’s not necessarily any longer.

In recent years Master have really gone full bore for a cleaner production. In the midst of so many bands choosing to muddy their sounds and apply a film of dirt and grime to their aesthetic, often to the band’s benefit too, I appreciate Master’s confidence and insistence at stripping away everything that is not themselves on record. Every single thing you hear on album is through their own performance, their own efforts, as their instrumental capacity is able to portray without altering anything to any degree. The polished production also allows us to listen closely to the amazing energy going into even the simplest riff they dish out; it’s not just a chord played but the additional, residual energy going into a string of continuous notes and the fact you can feel their strength too. It’s why their songwriting still strikes as they’ve made sure even the smallest facets don’t go overlooked.

Topping the record off are Paul Speckmann’s irreplaceable vocals. Listening to Master perform, the sludge-laden death metal, that sound groaning with rage and malice and disdain for human life, Speckmann’s vocals perfectly fit that aesthetic. Though Speckmann is fast approaching his mid-sixties his vocals have arguably improved with age as the onslaught of years alters his timbre, ages his vocal cords, deepening the overall feeling of decay and dismay so prevalent in Master’s soundscape. His vocal style has never changed throughout Master’s career, and one will experience such across Krabathor, Death Strike and others, but you don’t listen to his vocals for variety of delivery. It’s an iconic death metal vocal performance full of energy with power at every turn that doesn’t need to be thrown in your face to demonstrate its qualities.

In conclusion, Among The Seeds Of Death is Master’s sixteenth studio album in a discography already teeming with a quality releases. Death metal doesn’t need to be made overly complicated, it doesn’t need to throw in a slew of offbeat elements to catch audiences off guard; it simply needs to sound and feel great to listen. At that Master have always delivered, providing metal exceedingly easy to listen to and follow; Among The Seeds Of Death is ten tracks of no nonsense carnage with total clarity beholding the scope of their arsenal. It’s always a great time with these guys and any announcement of new material from Master is a blessing.

Geese formed in Brooklyn, New York, in 2016 while the musicians were still in school, developing their sound through basement rehearsals and home recordings long before they became one of the most closely watched young rock bands in the United States. The group grew around singer and multi-instrumentalist Cameron Winter, guitarist Emily Green, bassist Dominic DiGesu, drummer Max Bassin, and guitarist Foster Hudson, combining post-punk tension, art-rock experimentation, classic-rock instincts, and a restless approach to arrangement that made their music difficult to pin to a single style. Before signing with Partisan Records, Geese independently released the three-song EP in 2018,
