When are Slipknot playing Wembley Stadium?

Slipknot will perform at Wembley Stadium connected by EE on Saturday 3rd July 2027 as part of their (sic)est Stadium Tour.

The announcement follows a cryptic global campaign that has already put Slipknot fans on alert. Posters featuring the band's distinctive nine-pointed star and 'S' logo began appearing in major cities, including London, New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Mexico City and Buenos Aires, with little explanation of what they were promoting.

The speculation intensified when Wembley Stadium joined the campaign, sharing Slipknot imagery alongside the lyric-inspired message "If you're 555..." — a reference to ‘The Heretic Anthem’ — and the date Monday 28th September 2026. Similar activity appeared around other stadiums internationally, fuelling speculation that the band were preparing to announce a major run of shows.

Slipknot then brought the clues together by revealing their 2027 (sic)est Stadium Tour, including their huge Wembley Stadium date on Saturday 3rd July 2027. What began as a series of deliberately unexplained posters had ultimately been building towards one of the band's biggest live announcements.

The London concert is currently billed as the band's only UK and European performance of the tour, adding further significance to an already major stadium date.

Slipknot have spent more than 25 years building an international following, progressing from the arrival of their self-titled debut album in 1999 to headline arena and festival performances around the world.

Wembley Stadium now gives them one of Britain's largest stages for their 2027 return.

Why Slipknot at Wembley Stadium is such a significant show

Wembley Stadium is synonymous with some of the biggest occasions in British live music - with a capacity of around 90,000, the national stadium regularly welcomes major international artists alongside its programme of world-class sporting events.

For Slipknot, a headline performance at Wembley represents another major milestone in a career that has taken the band from Des Moines, Iowa to some of the world's biggest stages.

Their 2027 Wembley Stadium date promises something on an even larger scale to their previous UK performances. This included their headline of the Download Festival on multiple occasions, including in 2023, while December 2024 saw Slipknot bring their Here Comes the Pain anniversary tour to arenas around the UK.

Slipknot's journey to Wembley Stadium

Slipknot released their self-titled debut album in 1999, establishing the uncompromising sound and visual identity that would become synonymous with the band.

Iowa followed in 2001 before albums including Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), All Hope Is Gone, .5: The Gray Chapter, We Are Not Your Kind and The End, So Far expanded their catalogue. Along the way, Slipknot developed a reputation as one of metal's most distinctive live acts. Their performances have become known for large-scale production, striking stage designs and the unmistakable visual identity created by the band's masks and boiler suits.

The Here Comes the Pain tour took Slipknot back to their earliest era in 2024 as they celebrated 25 years since their debut album.

Three years later, Wembley Stadium will provide the setting for another major moment in their history.

What could Slipknot's Wembley Stadium setlist include?

Slipknot have not yet revealed the setlist for their Wembley Stadium concert, but the band have almost three decades of material to draw upon when they arrive in London. ‘Wait and Bleed’ remains one of the defining tracks from their debut era, while ‘People = Shit’ and ‘The Heretic Anthem’ became important parts of the Iowa period. Later albums produced some of Slipknot's best-known songs, including ‘Duality’, ‘Before I Forget’ and ‘Psychosocial’.

There is also one particularly exciting recent addition to the band's catalogue: ‘Arsenal’. Released as a surprise single in September 2026, the track marked Slipknot's first new music in more than three years and their first original release featuring drummer Eloy Casagrande.

Its arrival ahead of the (sic)est Stadium Tour makes ‘Arsenal’ an obvious song for fans to watch when Slipknot take to the Wembley stage. However, it won't feature on their forthcoming album. Guitarist Jim Root has confirmed that ‘Arsenal’ was completed as a standalone release while the band continue working on the rest of their new record.

With classics from across their career, their latest single and potentially more new material to come before Saturday 3rd July 2027, Slipknot will have plenty to choose from when putting together their Wembley Stadium setlist.

What can fans expect from Slipknot at Wembley?

Slipknot's live production has evolved considerably since their earliest performances. Across a series of successive touring eras, the band have incorporated elaborate stage designs, extensive lighting, percussion rigs and large-scale visual elements into their concerts.

A venue of Wembley Stadium's scale presents an opportunity to take such productions to another level. It is the scale of the occasion itself, however, that could make Saturday 3rd July particularly memorable.

Tens of thousands of Slipknot fans will have the opportunity to gather at England's national stadium for the band's only UK and European performance of the tour. For a group that emerged from Iowa in the 1990s before becoming one of metal's most internationally recognised names, Wembley represents another considerable achievement for the famous nine.

Who is supporting Slipknot at Wembley Stadium?

Fans should check the official event information for the latest details regarding Slipknot's Wembley Stadium line-up and any supporting artists.

A stadium concert provides considerable scope for a substantial supporting bill, particularly given Slipknot's influence across generations of rock and metal.

Any additions to the Wembley line-up should be treated as unconfirmed until announced through official channels.

How to experience Slipknot at Wembley Stadium in style

A concert of this scale offers fans a rare opportunity to see Slipknot perform at one of the world's most famous venues. For those looking to make more of the occasion, Wembley Stadium hospitality can provide a premium way to experience the show, with packages offering access to exclusive areas alongside excellent views of the performance.

With Slipknot's Wembley date confirmed as their only UK and European performance of the (sic)est Stadium Tour, Saturday 3rd July 2027 is set to become a major date in the calendar for British metal fans.
