The new tour begins May 30 in Syracuse, N.Y., and ends June 25 in The Woodlands, Texas. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time.

Slipknot first launched its Knotfest Roadshow tour in 2019 and performed in 30 cities in North America. This year's tour will consist of 16 shows.

"We set a precedent last year -- Knotfest is a showcase where you never know what to expect. This year is no exception. The bands we have represent all corners of our musical world, just like we do. And they're exciting as hell. I can't wait to watch and enjoy them along with the rest of the fans," Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor said.

Underoath keyboardist Chris Dudley said the band jumped at the chance to tour with Slipknot.

"When Slipknot asks you to come along for a summer of insanity, there are exactly zero questions to ask. You say yes. This is absolutely going to be one for the books... and we're ready," he said.

Slipknot released its sixth studio album, We Are Not Your Kind, in August. The album includes the singles "Unsainted" and "Solway Firth."
