Stone Sour add further European dates to 2018 schedule

Stone Sour have added an extra run of dates to their planned European tour.

Corey Taylor and co had previously announced three June performances in the UK. Now they’ve added further live dates, which will kick off with sets at Germany’s Rock Im Park and Rock Am Ring at the start of June.

Taylor, Josh Rand, Roy Mayorga, Johnny Chow and Christian Martucci launched their sixth studio album Hydrograd last year.

Speaking about the record, Taylor said: “This album is great because it’s got elements of everything. It’s got the heavy energy of the 80s, there’s punk moments, there’s hard rock moments – all the great amalgam of music.

“There’s even jazz and hip-hop moments, it’s really, really cool. It’s probably the coolest album I’ve made since the first Slipknot album. I feel very confident making that statement because it’s so good.”
