Long Island multi-instrumentalist Dylan Taganas is a musical chameleon. At just 21 years old, the New York artist seamlessly fuses classic rock, progressive metal, psych-pop, folk, and jazz into a singular, highly personal sound. Lyrically, his tracks dive into the introspective, detail-oriented mindset of a perfectionist. Having spent years performing in various acts—opening for major international artists like Bamboo, Sharon Cuneta, and Arnel Pineda, as well as sharing the stage with Gin Blossoms frontman Robin Wilson—Taganas is a seasoned performer who currently handles bass duties for punk outfit 2/14, alt-rockers Anything Ever, and indie-alt band Glenn Strange.
The artist commented on his new song, called Rattle Stones: “This is a heavy rock song about confronting toxicity and dishonesty, and dropping people who you don’t need. This will also be the first song of my upcoming album.” I love the pace and the mood, old school but with modern elements. Amazingly performed, catchy, with inspired guitar parts (check out the solo!) and with everything in the right place. The song is part of the playlist Rock Rotation.

At 2 pm on 28 September, Slipknot announced their long-awaited 2027 worldwide (sic)est tour, confirming a huge Wembley Stadium headline show on Saturday 3 July 2027 as their only UK date of the year.
The signs had been there for days. The band’s website had been reduced to a countdown timer, while Wembley Stadium and several major venues across the United States began posting cryptic messages linked to the masked Metal giants. With speculation building across fan groups and social media, a major announcement felt increasingly inevitable.
For much of the week, discussion centred on what form that announcement might take. Was Knotfest finally returning? Could a UK arena run be on the cards? As more clues emerged, attention gradually shifted towards the possibility of a stadium tour.
When the news finally landed at 2 pm UK time, fans got their answer. Slipknot confirmed a landmark Wembley Stadium show on Saturday 3 July 2027, cementing another major milestone in a career that has seen the band evolve from underground phenomenon to stadium headliner.
To mark the occasion, Slipknot announced a special fan event outside Wembley Stadium, with in-person pre-sale tickets available directly from the box office just hours after the announcement. The first 500 fans to purchase tickets received an exclusive commemorative poster, while limited merchandise and photo opportunities were available throughout the evening.
With only a few hours between the announcement and the event itself, the gathering remained relatively low-key, particularly for a Monday evening. Even so, a steady stream of fans made their way to Wembley to be part of the occasion.
From 5 pm onwards, supporters gathered outside the stadium as Slipknot staged a special event built around their Wembley debut. A pop-up merchandise stand, exclusive poster giveaway and a striking installation of the band’s iconic ‘S’ logo provided plenty of photo opportunities for those in attendance.
One of the most memorable aspects, however, was the ticket-buying experience. In an era dominated by waiting rooms, countdown clocks and frantic browser refreshing, purchasing tickets felt surprisingly simple.
Fans queued at the box office, spoke to a member of staff and secured their place at the show.
No alarms. No online queues. No race against a loading screen.
Just a straightforward conversation and a physical ticket purchase. The process ran smoothly throughout the evening. Wembley staff were on hand to answer questions, while one particularly helpful member of the team went above and beyond to assist fans with accessibility enquiries and ticketing support.
At 7 pm, the centrepiece arrived. The towering Slipknot ‘S’ logo was set ablaze, sending smoke into the evening sky against a backdrop of deep red light. While the event was likely designed with a social media moment in mind, as much as a traditional fan gathering, the burning logo provided a fitting visual statement to accompany the announcement of Slipknot’s biggest UK headline show to date.
More understated than chaotic, the evening succeeded in turning a routine ticket launch into something tangible. Fans had the opportunity to celebrate the announcement in person, pick up exclusive memorabilia and secure their place at a landmark Wembley Stadium show without battling the usual online frenzy.
