Earlier this year Slipknot announced their intentions to tour across the UK and Europe in 2020.

The band gave a list of cities, but stopped short of giving further details. Today, they've revealed the dates and venues – and it'll all kick off early next year.

The band will begin the 28-date run in Dublin on January 14 before eight dates across the UK. They’ll then head to mainland Europe for a further 19 shows, wrapping up with a set in Helsinki on February 24.

Joining them for the tour will be Behemoth, with tickets going on general sale from 9am on Friday, August 30.

Find a full list of dates below.

Slipknot have lined up the tour in support of their new studio album We Are Not Your Kind which was released earlier this month – here’s Metal Hammer’s ultimate track-by-track guide to the record.

The band are currently on their Knotfest Roadshow with special guests VolbeatGojira and Behemoth.
