With Slipknot's huge Knotfest Roadshow North America tour kicking off this month, the band have just announced an "immersive exhibit" that will be available to attend at the shows.
If seeing Slipknot, Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth in one night isn't enough, the Iowa titans have revealed details of a journey "from throughout the band’s history complete with instruments, memorabilia, wardrobe and personal never-before-seen items".
Of course, if you're a ’Knot superfan this seems well worth checking out. On top of all that's available on the tour already (including the band's own No. 9 Iowa Whiskey), Slipknot's new We Are Not Your Kind production is absolutely incredible; frontman Corey Taylor recently explained that it was an “attempt to create some Iron Maiden stuff”.
“Honestly, it’s everything that we’ve wanted to do for years, and we just never had the budget, and we had also had a lot of people around us telling us we couldn’t do it,” he said.
“The show looks amazing. Not only is it interactive – there’s video, there’s fire – but the whole set looks like an industrial complex. This is our attempt to create some Iron Maiden stuff, which is something we’ve been trying to do for a while.”
