Slipknot announce summer 2023 European tour

Slipknot have announced that they’ll be coming to Europe next June for a mixture of festival and headline shows…

Fresh from announcing their first-ever Knotfest Australia, Slipknot are set to do even more globe-trotting next year with a European tour.

The Iowa titans will be heading over in June 2023 for a mixture of headline dates and festival shows – such as Nova Rock, Copenhell and Graspop. The run kicks off in Nickelsdorf, Austria on June 7, and wraps up in Berlin, Germany on June 21. Here’s hoping they can squeeze in some UK dates while they’re here…

Catch Slipknot at the following:

7 Nickelsdorf, Austria – Nova Rock 8 Hradec, Czechia – Rock For People 10 Interlaken, Switzerland – Greenfield 13 Amsterdam, Netherlands – Ziggo Dome 14 Esch-Sur-Alzette, Luxembourg – Rockhal 16 Copenhagen, Denmark – Copenhell Festival 17 Dessel, Belgium – Graspop Metal Meeting 20 Hamburg, Germany – Barclays Arena 21 Berlin, Germany – Mercedes Benz Arena

Of course, these will be the ’Knot’s first European shows with new album The End, So Far .

In our exclusive cover story with Corey Taylor a couple of months back, the frontman praised his bandmates for their work on the new record, revealing that they actually complimented each other once the record was finished – something they’ve never done before.

“I kind of get a little emotional about it, because it means a lot to me,” he shared. “We always hang out before we’re getting ready for a show, and all of the guys had different favourite things that I had done on the album – they were like, ‘I love this part, I love this line, I love this, I love how you fucking your scream on this…’ We’ve never given each other props to each other’s face. We’re such crotchety curmudgeons! And it’s really funny that after this many years we had never really told each other, ‘I think you’re the shit, and I love being in a band with you.’”

Court rejects journalist Evan Gershkovich’s appeal, keeping him jailed in Russia

MOSCOW (AP) — Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich will remain jailed on espionage charges until at least late June, after a Moscow court on Tuesday rejected his appeal that sought to end his pretrial detention.

The 32-year-old U.S. citizen was detained in late March 2023 while on a reporting trip and has spent over a year in jail, with authorities routinely extending his time behind bars and rejecting his appeals. Last month, his pretrial detention was continued yet again — until June 30 — in a ruling that he and his lawyers challenged. A Moscow appellate court rejected it Tuesday.

His arrest in the city of Yekaterinburg rattled journalists in Russia, where authorities have not detailed what, if any, evidence they have to support the espionage charges.

Gershkovich and his employer have denied the allegations, and the U.S. government has declared him to be wrongfully detained .

Analysts have pointed out that Moscow may be using jailed Americans as bargaining chips in soaring U.S.-Russian tensions over the Kremlin’s military operation in Ukraine. At least two U.S. citizens arrested in Russia in recent years — including WNBA star Brittney Griner — have been exchanged for Russians jailed in the U.S.

Gershkovich is the first American reporter to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia since September 1986, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was arrested by the KGB.

Daniloff was released without charge 20 days later in a swap for an employee of the Soviet Union’s U.N. mission who was arrested by the FBI, also on spying charges.
