Slipknot are bigger than ever. Those who witnessed those early days could justifiably have thought the band would never last this long – most artists that debut with such a burning intensity and a complete disregard for the existing paradigm, cannot last. But Slipknot’s unapologetic ferocity spoke to an entire generation, and quicker than anyone outside the band expected, they were also speaking FOR that generation. Now generations in, Slipknot’s message, songs and art resonate even more powerfully. This is where it all began.

The Announcement:
Here’s the MDF 2022 running order! Thanks for your patience while we sorted this out. More than ever, it was a pretty involved task that took longer than expected to finish. There’s a few lineup changes that we need to bring to your attention. As disappointing as this will be for some people, we’re sorry to say that Nifelheim will not be playing.

There are several issues that led to this, one of which being the delayed approval of their visas. When delays like this happen, we have the opportunity to pay thousands of dollars more for an “expedited” approval, but when the vaccination status of members in the band was brought to our attention, we decided to not pay for this, as we would just be getting visas approved for a band that can’t enter the US due to current entry requirements that prohibit their entry. Quite a bit of money has already been lost on attempting to get the band to the US (in early 2020 when their visas were approved before Covid — and again in 2021 when we had to pay for another visa petition), so we’re not in a position to lose even more.
