Slipknot
February 05, 2009 at Madison Square Garden
With Coheed and Cambria and Trivium
Grammy-award winning hard rockers Slipknot bring their All Hope Is Gone World Tour to Madison Square Garden on February 5!
"2009 is the 10 year anniversary of the world's first taste of this band," front man Corey Taylor said in a statement. "To celebrate we are coming back out with a killer tour, a couple great bands and the same ferocity with which we attack life."
The 2009 All Hope Is Gone World Tour marks Slipknot's first headline run in America since the release of the album in August. The band is currently playing sold out arenas across the globe including stops in Russia, Japan, Australia, Europe and wrapping in the United Kingdom with three sold-out nights at London's Hammersmith Apollo. Slipknot held the headline slot on 2008's sold-out inaugural Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival, which drew the biggest crowds to a metal festival since Slipknot played Ozzfest in 2004.
Coheed and Cambria embrace a fusion of progressive rock, emo-core and highly conceptual album themes. Simultaneously through lyrics and comics, the band has created an epic alternate universe that gains depth with each record — revered by fanatical fans across the world. Over the course of six years and four groundbreaking albums, Coheed's relentless touring and knack for writing indelible songs, combined with intricate musicianship and powerful album tracks, has secured their status as a massive live draw. Central Florida thrash metalcore outfit Trivium will take the stage first.
