Ahead of this weekend’s co-headline set at Sick New World, Slipknot are warming up with a tiny show on Thursday night where they’ll introduce their new drummer.
Following lots of teasing for the past week, Slipknot have just announced a seriously tiny one-night-only show.
The Iowa titans are set to take over an intimate venue in Pioneertown, California called Pappy + Harriett’s tomorrow night (Thursday, April 25), which apparently has a capacity of just 350 people. Oooooft!
The already-sold-out event costs just $9 to attend, with all ticket proceeds being split between Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter and Boys & Girls Club of the Hi Desert, with the venue also matching Slipknot’s donation up to $5,000, which is pretty awesome.
Of course, this will also be the first time select fans will get to see Slipknot’s new drummer – following the departure of Jay Weinberg in last year – ahead of the musician’s much bigger introduction at Sick New World in Las Vegas this coming Saturday night.
