Slipknot Fans Share Thoughts on Band’s 25th Anniversary Tour Setlist
As Slipknot gears up to celebrate their 25th anniversary with a special tour, fans are abuzz with anticipation over the band’s setlist. Known for their intense performances and eclectic discography, the setlist for this milestone tour is a hot topic among the Maggots, as Slipknot’s dedicated fanbase is known.
A Milestone Celebration
Slipknot’s 25th anniversary is a momentous occasion in the world of heavy metal. Since their formation in 1995, the band has become a genre-defining force with their aggressive sound, elaborate stage shows, and distinctive masks. This tour promises to be a celebration of their journey, featuring a mix of classic hits and fan favorites.
Fan Reactions and Expectations
Fans have been vocal about their hopes for the setlist. On forums and social media, there’s a strong desire to see a balanced representation of Slipknot’s discography. Many fans are hoping for tracks from the band’s seminal albums, such as their self-titled debut, *Iowa*, and *Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)*. Hits like “Wait and Bleed,” “Duality,” and “Before I Forget” are frequently mentioned as must-includes.
However, fans are also eager to hear deeper cuts and rarities. Some suggest including tracks that have been less frequently performed in recent years, such as “People = Shit” and “The Heretic Anthem.” Others are hoping for a few surprises, perhaps even a few songs from the more recent *We Are Not Your Kind* album.
The Challenge of the Setlist
Creating a setlist for a 25th-anniversary tour is no small task. Slipknot’s discography spans multiple decades and styles, and the band must balance nostalgia with the desire to showcase new material. For the fans, this means that while they hope for a celebration of the band’s legacy, they also want to see how Slipknot continues to evolve.
Fan Engagement
Slipknot has always been known for their connection with their fans, and this tour is no exception. The band has been engaging with their audience through social media polls and interactive content, allowing fans to voice their preferences and contribute to the excitement surrounding the setlist.

this is both cool and disappointing. everyone saying "it's an anniversary tour, you should've expected it," i disagree. lots of bands do anniversary tours without anything special, or put it on the poster when they do play the album in full.

Cannot believe we're seeing people complaining about the setlist from Slipknot's 25th anniversary tour! Other bands could only dream about playing a setlist that goes as hard as Slipknot peforming their debut album in full!

I can't believe people are complaining about the SlipKnot setlist. It's missing Me Inside and Tattered and Torn but aside from those, you're getting all of S/T. We're even getting No Life!!! This is not something to complain about.
