Slipknot has officially sent shockwaves through the metal world by announcing their Final World Tour, aptly titled “One Last Ride.” After decades of chaos, intensity, and unrelenting devotion to their fans, the masked legends have confirmed that this global run will mark the final chapter of Slipknot as a touring band. For millions of Maggots worldwide, the news is both heartbreaking and historic.
The announcement came with a powerful statement from the band, emphasizing that “One Last Ride” is not about slowing down, but about going out at full force. Slipknot promised the same ferocity, theatrical brutality, and emotional weight that defined their rise, making it clear this farewell tour will be anything but subdued.
The tour kicks off in North America, with opening dates set for major cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Dallas, Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Boston. Massive arenas and outdoor stadiums have been selected to accommodate the overwhelming demand expected from fans eager to witness Slipknot live one final time.
From there, the band will cross the Atlantic for a full European leg, hitting metal strongholds such as London, Manchester, Paris, Berlin, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Oslo, Milan, Madrid, and Barcelona. Festival-style production and extended setlists are rumored, turning each night into a career-spanning celebration of Slipknot’s legacy.
Slipknot will then bring “One Last Ride” to South America, a region known for its fiercely loyal fanbase. Dates have been confirmed in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago, Bogotá, and Lima, where the band’s raw aggression has always been met with unmatched intensity and passion.
The Asia-Pacific leg follows, with shows announced in Tokyo, Osaka, Seoul, Manila, Jakarta, Sydney, Melbourne, and Auckland. These performances are expected to be especially emotional, as Slipknot has frequently credited international fans for helping sustain their global dominance over the years.
While the band has remained tight-lipped about the exact setlist, insiders suggest the tour will feature songs from every era—ranging from the feral early days of Slipknot and Iowa to later anthems from Vol. 3, All Hope Is Gone, and We Are Not Your Kind. Deep cuts, rarely played live tracks, and extended encore moments are all rumored to be part of the farewell experience.
Corey Taylor addressed fans directly, saying this tour is about gratitude, reflection, and unity. He described “One Last Ride” as a chance for the band and fans to share the same space one final time, screaming the same lyrics that carried them through anger, grief, and survival.
The production for the tour is expected to be the most ambitious Slipknot has ever attempted. New masks, evolved stage designs, enhanced pyrotechnics, and visual callbacks to earlier eras will reportedly blend the band’s past and present into a single, overwhelming spectacle.
Tickets are anticipated to sell out within minutes of release, with pre-sale access expected for fan club members. Given Slipknot’s global reach and the finality of this tour, additional dates may be added—but the band has stressed that once “One Last Ride” ends, the curtain truly closes.
For many fans, Slipknot was never just a band—it was a lifeline. Their music soundtracked rage, isolation, rebellion, and resilience for an entire generation. This tour represents the end of an era that reshaped modern metal and redefined what extreme music could achieve on a global scale.
As the masks prepare for their final march across the world, “One Last Ride” stands as both a farewell and a victory lap. Slipknot isn’t simply saying goodbye—they’re ensuring their legacy is burned into memory forever, one final, deafening scream at a time.
