Slipknot have kicked off the promotional cycle for We Are Not Your Kind with a bang. While they made their debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live a few weeks ago, last night (June 7th) was their true, official unveiling. It was the kick off to their European tour at Rockfest in Finland.
Slipknot played 18 tracks in total, a mix of new and classic tracks. "All Out Life" and "Unsainted" were both played. And, then the rest was a nice buffet of classic hits from their entire catalog: five songs from their self-titled album, three from .5: The Gray Chapter, three off Iowa, and Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses and two from All Hope Is Gone.
They even reintroduced "Get This," "Prosthetics" and "Sulfur" into their set list for the first time in four years. Here is the full set list:
- "People = Shit"
- "(sic)"
- "Get This" (First time live since 2015)
- "Unsainted"
- "Disasterpiece"
- "Before I Forget"
- "The Heretic Anthem"
- "Psychosocial"
- "The Devil in I"
- "Prosthetics" (First time live since 2015)
- "Vermilion"
- "Custer"
- "Sulfur" (First time live since 2015)
- "The Negative One"
- "All Out Life"
- "Duality"
Encore: - "Spit It Out"
- "Surfacing"
Drummer Jay Weinberg could not hold his excitement as he tweeted "THAT. Is how you start a world tour. Kiitos, Hyvinkää for setting the bar ridiculously high for the rest of the world. Feels so good to be back on the Slipknot stage."
