Earlier this year, Slipknot - one of the world's most popular and prestigious metal bands of all time - announced their triumphant return to the UK.

Later this year, Slipknot will be going on tour around Great Britain to play some of the country's biggest and best arenas.

This means they'll be playing such incredible venues as Glasgow's OVO Hydro, Manchester's Co-op Live and London's O2 Arena - to name just a few.

As if the prospect of Slipknot playing these enormous arenas wasn't exciting enough, they are being joined by one of the metal scene's most exciting bands: Bleed From Within.

Tickets for Slipknot's UK and European tour were originally released back in December, 2023, but they quickly sold out at some venues within the first week.

As a result, fans have been left to look elsewhere for tickets at such resale websites as viagogo and Vivid Seats.

Here's all the information you need on how to get tickets:

Slipknot resale tickets are out right now from a number of online retailers. Here's the breakdown:

VIAGOGO - Buy Slipknot resale tickets here.

VIVID SEATS - Buy Slipknot resale tickets here.

These tickets are being sold by fans who are selling off their purchases from official retailers, such as Ticketmaster, Live Nation, and more.

As a result, they may be priced a little higher than the original face value of the tickets.

Thankfully, using resale websites is not your only option.

You can still buy Slipknot tickets from some of the bigger retailers, including Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

Slipknot are playing a number of shows across Europe beginning in December 2024, from Amsterdam and Stuttgart to Paris.

After that, Slipknot will be hitting the UK, where they'll play five enormous arenas to more than 100,000 people.

Here's the full list of shows, venues, dates and locations:

• 5th December -​ Amsterdam, Netherlands, ​Ziggo Dome
• 6th December -​ Dortmund, Germany​​, ​Westfalenhalle

Sites such as Viagogo and Vivid Seats allow fans to buy resale tickets from other fans. However, it is important to note that many event promoters say tickets should not be resold after initial purchase and will not be valid for admittance to gigs.

Fans attending live events with tickets acquired through resale websites are advised to double-check the ticket terms and conditions at the point of sale - such as Ticketmaster or Live Nation - to ensure a smooth live event experience. Tickets could be voided if they were found to be bought second-hand. As a result, fans are buying at their own risk.

With that said, viagogo also commented: "viagogo is a regulated marketplace where fans have the freedom to buy and sell tickets to their favourite live events, safely and securely, backed by a guarantee."
