MULTI-PLATINUM, Grammy-award winning, masked band Slipknot are set to play UK arenas in February 2016.

After their triumphant return headlining this year's Download Festival at Donington Park, the metal icons return to these shores with their visually arresting, chaotic and spectacular shows.

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor comments, "Any time we get the chance to come over to the UK, it's awesome. Hopefully the fans have as much fun as we do. We'll be putting together a great set for them, and as we fill out the bill with bands, we hope the excitement gets even bigger."

Cardiff's Motorpoint Arena is the first stop on the tour on February 8, 2016.

Tickets cost £39.50 (subject to per-ticket charge plus order processing fee) and are available to purchase from the Box Office on 02920 224488.
