Slipknot announce one-off intimate gig tomorrow

The metal band Slipknot will be performing an intimate one-off gig this week at Pappy + Harriet’s barbecue bar in Pioneertown, California. With a crowd of only 350 attendees, tickets sold out quickly at a price of $9 per ticket. The event will mark the band’s first show of the year, as well as the first show with their new drummer, who has not yet been confirmed. Slipknot has promised to donate all proceeds from the show to the Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter and BOYS & GIRLS CLUB of the Hi Desert.

This event is significant to the band as they return to their roots. Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan stated that they are “going back to basics” to celebrate Slipknot’s 25th anniversary this year. He expressed excitement over playing smaller venues and going on tour again. The upcoming concert comes at a time when rumors of new music from the band have begun to percolate among fans.
