The metal world is bracing for impact as Slipknot, Korn, and Slayer officially unite for the 2027 “Metal Kings” global tour, a monumental run that promises to redefine live heavy music. After years of speculation and fan demand, the announcement has ignited a frenzy across the global metal community, marking one of the most anticipated co-headlining tours in modern rock history. Each band brings a legacy of chaos, intensity, and genre-defining sound, setting the stage for a tour that feels both historic and explosive.
The tour is set to kick off on June 12, 2027, in Los Angeles, USA, at the iconic SoFi Stadium, before storming through Las Vegas (June 15) and Dallas (June 18). From there, the lineup will dominate major North American cities including Chicago (June 22), Toronto (June 25), and New York City (June 29), with each stop expected to deliver a full-scale production packed with pyrotechnics, immersive visuals, and relentless energy. Fans can expect each band to perform extended sets, celebrating their biggest hits alongside deeper cuts.
As summer intensifies, the tour will cross into Europe, beginning with London, UK (July 5, Wembley Stadium), followed by Paris (July 8), Berlin (July 11), and Amsterdam (July 14). The European leg is already generating massive buzz, with early ticket demand projected to break records. Industry insiders suggest this could rival some of the biggest touring runs in metal history, thanks to the combined drawing power of these three giants.
The tour will then push into Asia and Oceania, hitting Tokyo, Japan (July 20), Seoul, South Korea (July 23), and Sydney, Australia (July 30), before wrapping up in South America with explosive finales in São Paulo, Brazil (August 5) and Buenos Aires, Argentina (August 8). Each location is expected to feature localized stage elements while maintaining the core identity of the “Metal Kings” production—dark, theatrical, and overwhelmingly powerful.
With tickets officially on sale now, anticipation continues to build as fans rush to secure their place in what is shaping up to be a once-in-a-generation tour. For many, this isn’t just another concert—it’s a historic convergence of three of metal’s most influential forces, a rare moment where legacy, spectacle, and raw sound collide on a global scale.
