Slipknot fans spot cryptic posters around the globe – is a tour announcement incoming?

Cartazes enigmáticos da Slipknot têm surgido ao redor do mundo – possivelmente indicando um novo anúncio de turnê dos ícones do metal de Iowa.

The new artworks were first spotted across at least 10 cities across North and South America yesterday (Tuesday September 22), with each featuring their iconic ‘S’ logo and a red background, as well as the name of the city.

Fans have been quick to spot the posters and share photos to social media, and yesterday alone there were sightings of the posters in Los Angeles, New York, Hershey, Houston, Mexico City, Bogota, Buenos Aires, San Francisco, Chicago, Santiago, Toronto and Ontario.

Agora, alguns cartazes foram avistados em Londres também, com fãs especulando que isso pode significar que um anúncio de turnê está a caminho.

On each poster, there is also the URL unlock.slipknot1.com, and when fans visit the site, it encourages them to sign up with their email for updates, before showing the numbers nine and 28 – possibly suggesting that the announcement will be made on Monday (September 28).

Os novos pôsteres seguem Corey Taylor e companhia retornando com o single surpresa 'Arsenal' no início deste mês – sua primeira música nova em três anos, e o primeiro lançamento desde a saída de Sid Wilson e a chegada do baterista Eloy Casagrande.

It does seem more likely that the posters signify a tour announcement than any more music, as guitarist Jim Root recently responded to the mixed reaction to the band’s new song.

He said it was only meant to be a standalone project, while Slipknot continue to work on their next album.

The new album will be the first since 2022’s ‘The End, So Far’, and while details remain vague, the band have revealed that they’ve been working with Matt Wallace on the record and have “so much material”.

No período desde que o último álbum saiu, eles deram um teaser de uma nova música, ‘Long May You Die’ – que foi gravada logo depois que o novo baterista Eloy Casagrande entrou em 2024, substituindo Jay Weinberg – e também lançaram o aguardado álbum ‘perdido’ ‘Look Outside Your Window’ para o Record Store Day deste ano.
