Slipknot to play the fair 2019

[Knownothing]

i love Slipknot and have been friends with most of them since high school. Have to admit though east side night will now have 2 nights next year at the fair. Can’t wait

 

[Gunnerclone]

That’s pretty awesome biggest thing to hit the fair in a long long time.

 

[Cyowan008]

I have never been to the fair. This will 100% change that. It would be the third time to see them.

 

[CloneGuy8]

People watching will be amazing that night

Not my cup of tea but the fair needed this badly. Music selections have been awful and aimed almost solely at older crowds.
I think it obviously will sell out.

 

[NorthCyd]

Interesting. I saw them when they played Wells Fargo. It was a hell of a show.

Hmmmm very interested. When do tickets normally go on sale for fair concerts?

Doesn’t slipknot appeal to a pretty old crowd now too?

I would say they have a broad appeal anywhere from people that are now pushing 50 all the way to today’s teens. They have tentacles that reach out all over as well with the side projects.

Slipknot has huge appeal at a lot of age ranges. Kind of one of the few bands to have that. That is why they stick around.

 

[cyfanatic]

Is Jay Weinberg (Max's son) still the drummer for Slipknot?

 

[wxman1]

Not a Slipknot fan but I am shocked it took this long to get them there. Actually kind of sad in a way.

You had me at tentacles.

This will sell out very fast imo

Really want to go to this. Last grandstand concert I saw was Paramore with the wife last year so this would be on the opposite end of the target demographic spectrum.

You’d be surprised.

Don't get grandstand tickets if you want to be able to see the band. Since they remodeled last year, the stage has been moved back probably 30-40 yards from where it use to be and you end up watching the TV screens on the sides since the singers appear so small. Get the floor / standing area tickets in front of the stage.

I've moved on from heavy metal, "scream rock", but boy does their self-titled album have some serious nostalgia to me.

Something tells me I might not want those for this performance...
