Slipknot 2027 stadium tour: dates, tickets and travel planning

Slipknot's first headlining stadium tour opens at London's Wembley Stadium on July 3, 2027, moves through the United States and Canada from July 16 to August 18, and is scheduled to finish in South America in September. General sale is listed for Friday, October 2, 2026 at 10:00 am local time on the Ticketmaster dates checked. Presales begin earlier and differ by city, so open the page for your exact venue before joining a queue.

The most useful decision now is not simply which city is closest. Compare the support lineup, total trip cost, floor layout and journey home. Then secure the concert ticket before committing to a non-refundable flight or hotel.

The short plan: create and verify the ticketing account now, enter only the presale you qualify for, and keep the event page open for your chosen city. Treat the displayed VIP amount as incomplete until checkout shows the ticket face value and fees. Do not book non-refundable travel for Buenos Aires or Bogota yet because current official sources disagree on those dates.

This guide was checked on September 29, 2026 against Ticketmaster, Live Nation, Wembley Stadium, Golden Gate Park Concerts, SoFi Stadium and Slipknot's VIP page. Sale times, support acts, floor layouts and venue rules can change. Recheck the local event page before paying and again before traveling.

Slipknot 2027 tour dates at a glance

The tour announcement says Bring Me The Horizon will support every North American date, with additional artists rotating by city. Wembley has a different bill. South American local listings currently show Slipknot but do not yet present the same detailed support information.

Slipknot's VIP page lists Buenos Aires on September 9 and Bogota on September 16. Live Nation's current artist page lists September 8 and September 17. That is not a harmless formatting difference. Until the local seller and both official pages agree, hold flights and hotels that cannot be changed.

Which city should you choose?

Start with the lineup. The London bill is unique, while North America has Bring Me The Horizon throughout and rotating third or fourth artists. If one support act matters as much as Slipknot, open the individual event listing instead of relying on the general tour poster.

Then compare the venue and trip, not just the base ticket:

1. London is the only announced European date. It suits a UK or Europe trip, but a single exclusive show concentrates demand.
2. Montreal and Toronto can work for Canadian visitors. Compare the support bill, accommodation and rail or flight cost. Toronto's Rogers Stadium is in North York, not beside the downtown Rogers Centre.
3. New York, Boston and Washington offer more public-transport options than a suburban stadium, but the final service and event routing need a fresh check closer to July.
4. San Francisco already has public all-in starting prices and a clear outdoor timetable. It is an all-ages show at the Golden Gate Park Polo Field.
5. South America should be treated date by date. Sao Paulo is part of The Town festival, while the other stops use standalone stadium listings. Do not assume one ticket policy applies across all five countries.

If two cities remain close after the lineup check, compare a cancellable hotel plus transport from the venue after midnight. A cheaper ticket can be the expensive choice once a long rideshare or extra hotel night is included.

When do Slipknot tickets go on sale?

Ticketmaster's tour help page lists general sale for Friday, October 2, 2026 at 10:00 am in the venue's local time. The London, Washington and Queens listings checked use that schedule. Presales begin earlier, but the eligible group and start time vary.

For example, Wembley lists:

• artist presale from September 29 at 10:00 am BST;
• Knotfest presale from September 29 at noon BST;
• O2 Priority and support presales from September 30 at 10:00 am BST;
• Live Nation and Download Festival Family presales from October 1 at 10:00 am BST;
• general sale on October 2 at 10:00 am BST.

Washington lists artist and VIP access from September 29 at 10:00 am local time, Knotfest at noon, fan club access on October 1 at noon, and general sale on October 2 at 10:00 am. Queens has its own sequence, including support and Mets presales.

These examples are a reason to use the local page, not a template for every date. A presale label does not mean anyone can enter it. Some require an invitation, account, membership, eligible mobile service or unique link.

Prepare the ticket account before the queue

Sign in before sale time and confirm the email, phone number and payment method. Open the listing from the official venue, Ticketmaster or Live Nation route, then check the city, date and venue one more time.

Do not run several browser sessions for the same account unless the seller specifically permits it. Duplicate activity can create errors or remove your place in line. Keep another seat area and price ceiling ready so the decision does not begin when the timer is running.

How much will standard, GA and pit tickets cost?

Most city pages had not published standard price bands when this guide was checked. Ticketmaster says pricing will be available when sales begin. A Reddit estimate, a previous tour receipt or a resale listing is not a face-value price for this tour.

Golden Gate Park is the useful exception. Its official event page lists GA tickets starting at $179 all-in, made up of $149 plus $30 in fees, and VIP starting at $399 all-in, made up of $359 plus $40 in fees. Those figures apply to San Francisco, not the rest of the tour.

Build a purchase ceiling that includes the ticket, disclosed fees, transport home and any required accommodation. If the available section exceeds it, leave the queue. A countdown is not a reason to accept a trip you cannot afford.

Is GA the same as the pit?

Not necessarily. A seller may divide the floor into front pit, general admission, reserved floor seats or package-only areas. Ticketmaster also warns that seat maps can change. Read the section name in the cart and compare it with the current map before paying.

Do not infer access from color alone. If a product says GA, that confirms unreserved access only to the area named on that ticket. It does not promise the front barricade or movement between floor zones.

Does a Slipknot VIP package include the concert ticket?

Read the package, not just the price heading. Slipknot's official VIP page currently describes ticket-included packages, but displays the package price as including tax and excluding the ticket face value and fees. For example, the Purity Reserved Package says it contains one premium reserved ticket while listing a separate package amount of $150, CAD 175 or £110 before the underlying ticket face value and fees.

That means the headline package amount is not the final checkout total. Confirm all of the following before payment:

• whether the package includes admission or is an upgrade for a ticket you already hold;
• the exact floor or reserved section;
• whether early entry is before public doors and whether another package enters first;
• the merchandise and lounge inclusions;
• transfer restrictions for the ticket and package benefits;
• the full order total after ticket face value and fees.

Ticketmaster's help page says merchandise and VIP elements, fan-club memberships and ticket insurance are non-transferable. A transferred admission ticket may therefore arrive without every benefit attached to the original buyer.

The eight-ticket limit can apply across linked orders

The Wembley, Washington and Queens pages checked each show an overall limit of eight tickets. Wembley states that the limit applies per person and household. Ticketmaster says orders associated through names, email addresses, billing addresses, cards or other information can be cancelled if the limit is exceeded.

Do not split a larger group across repeated orders on one account and assume each order receives a fresh allowance. If more than eight people are traveling, use only arrangements the seller explicitly permits.

Accessible tickets use venue-specific routes

Wembley opens its disability access ticketing line at 10:00 am on September 29 for all presales, with general sale beginning October 2. Other venues can use Ticketmaster's accessible inventory, a venue box office or a separate request form.

Before joining a standard queue, open the accessibility section for that venue and check:

• whether the accessible seat and companion seat are purchased together;
• when proof of eligibility is requested;
• whether floor access is step-free;
• whether a wheelchair platform has a separate ticket type;
• how to request an interpreter, captioning or another accommodation;
• whether parking must be reserved separately.

Do not buy an unsuitable standard seat on the assumption it can be exchanged later. Availability and exchange rules vary.

Book the concert before non-refundable travel

For an international concert trip, use this order:

1. Secure the valid ticket through an authorized seller.
2. Confirm the exact venue, date and support lineup in the order.
3. Reserve a refundable hotel with a realistic post-show route.
4. Book transport only after checking the fare's change and cancellation terms.
5. Recheck passport validity and entry requirements using the destination government's current guidance.
6. Save the ticketing account, hotel address and return route offline.

A flight deal before the sale can be tempting. It also turns a failed ticket queue into a separate holiday or an expensive cancellation. The risk is higher for London because it is the only announced European show, and for Buenos Aires and Bogota while official dates conflict.

Plan the journey home before choosing a seat

The show time in a listing is not a guaranteed finish time. Stadium crowds can also delay the walk to rail, parking and rideshare pickup. When the venue publishes a transport plan, check the last train against a conservative exit time rather than the advertised start.

For Wembley, use the stadium and Transport for London event guidance closer to July. For Rogers Stadium, enter the full venue name and North York location. For SoFi Stadium, use the concert-specific transport page rather than an NFL shuttle article. At Golden Gate Park, check the event's named entrance and post-show transit plan when it is released.

Pick one meeting point outside the immediate exit. Every person in the group should have the hotel address, route and booking reference. A live location can help, but it should not be the only way separated travelers find each other.

Mobile tickets and offline preparation

Install the authorized ticket app, sign in and add the ticket to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet if the seller offers that option. A screenshot may not work when the barcode rotates. Record the order number separately without exposing the barcode in a social post.

Before leaving the hotel, download:

• the venue map and named entrance;
• the public-transport area around the stadium;
• the hotel area in an offline map;
• the booking confirmation and accessible-ticket instructions;
• one route home that does not depend on rideshare availability.

Carry a permitted power bank. Venue rules differ, so check its size and battery policy rather than assuming an item accepted at one stadium will enter another.

Choosing mobile data for a multi-country Slipknot trip

One-city visitors normally need the country plan that fits that trip. Fans combining the United States and Canada can compare the OpenSim USA and Canada plan with separate country plans. A South America plan can be more practical for several confirmed stops, while a global plan may suit a trip that combines London with another tour region.

OpenSim's public catalog currently lists separate United Kingdom, USA and Canada, North America, South America and global options. That gives travelers a choice based on the actual route instead of forcing a tour-wide product. Check the countries shown on the selected plan before purchase, especially if your itinerary includes Brazil, Peru or Colombia.

An eSIM does not provide a presale code, reserve a ticket or guarantee data capacity in a stadium crowd. Its useful role is outside that promise: opening the authorized ticket app, checking live transport, contacting the hotel and keeping the group in touch while moving between cities.

Use the travel data calculator before choosing an allowance. Confirm whether your phone supports eSIM and when to install it before travel. The travel eSIM versus roaming guide explains when keeping a home roaming plan may still be the simpler choice.

Answers to common Slipknot 2027 ticket questions

Why did I not receive a presale code?

Presales have different eligibility rules. An artist invitation, Knotfest membership, venue list, cardholder offer or mobile-network program may use a unique link or account check. Registering interest does not always guarantee access. Use the help route attached to that presale rather than buying a code from another person.

Can I use one presale time for every city?

No. Sale labels and times differ by event. Use the timezone and schedule on the exact city page.

Will more tickets remain for general sale?

Ticketmaster says availability can be limited after presales. It does not promise a specific allocation. Check the authorized listing at general-sale time rather than treating a presale sellout message as the final status.

Should I buy resale tickets now?

First check official inventory and the authorized resale route named by the seller. Resale prices can exceed face value, and package benefits may not transfer. Avoid payment methods that remove purchase protection.

Are Wembley standing tickets suitable for children?

Ticketmaster UK says the show is for people over five, children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult over 18, and standing areas are for people over 14 only. Recheck the final event terms before purchase.

Is the San Francisco show all ages?

Yes, the Golden Gate Park Concerts page currently labels it all ages. That does not remove the need to consider the long outdoor day, crowd levels, hearing protection and the route home for a child.

Is Australia part of this tour announcement?

No Australian date appears in the September 28 announcement or the official listings checked. Do not treat speculation about another leg as a confirmed show.

Can a support act change after I book?

Yes. Lineups and times can change. Book only if the headline show and trip still make sense without one particular support act.

Can I transfer a VIP package?

Ticketmaster says VIP and merchandise elements are non-transferable. The admission ticket and benefits can have different rules, so read the package terms before buying for someone else.

When should I recheck the event details?

Check after purchase, before the hotel cancellation deadline, one week before travel, and again on show day. Look for changes to timing, entrance, bag rules, support, transport and mobile-ticket delivery.

Slipknot tour sources and update triggers

This guide uses current Ticketmaster and Live Nation tour listings, Ticketmaster's tour help page, venue information from Wembley, SoFi and Golden Gate Park Concerts, Slipknot's official VIP page, and the organizer announcement reproduced by FirstBank Stadium's official Vanderbilt athletics site. Public discussions were used to identify ticket questions, not to establish prices or rules.

We will update this page when the Buenos Aires and Bogota dates are reconciled, local support bills change, ticket prices are published, or venues release material transport and entry rules. Your authorized ticket order and the venue's live event page remain the final sources for your date.
