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."

Dates stack up as follows:

Mon 8th Feb - CARDIFF Motorpoint Arena Tue 9th Feb - LONDON Alexandra Palace Fri 12th Feb - BIRMINGHAM Genting Arena Sat 13th Feb - LEEDS First Direct Arena
