Slipknot will visit Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center on Wednesday, May 18, as part of the heavy metal band’s 40-date North American Tour announced on Tuesday.
Tickets for the “Knotfest Roadshow” tour stop, ranging from $39.50 to $125 will be available for purchase online beginning at 10 a.m. on Friday. Student tickets, starting at $25, go on sale at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.
Hip-hop veterans Cypress Hill and industrial rappers Ho99o9 will open the 6:30 p.m. show.
Slipknot is known for its energetic shows and aggressive, attention-getting music. The band rose to fame with its 1999 self-titled album followed by its 2001 record “Iowa.” Slipknot has been nominated for 10 Grammy awards, winning once in 2006 for “Best Metal Performance” with “Before I Forget.”
The band will release its highly anticipated seventh album in 2022 after debuting their first new music in two years at Knotfest Los Angeles in 2021.
Slipknot’s tour is one of several acts to announce stops at the BJC this week. Sesame Street Live! and WWE’s Road to Wrestlemania will both make stops at the arena in March.
