As Slipknot's new album approaches faster and faster, we're beginning to see the band gearing up for the endless promotion cycle ahead. They're releasing teaser videos, they're getting their new masks ready, and now, they're scheduling TV appearances. The band will apparently perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Slipknot will guest-perform on Kimmel on Friday, May 17th. The episode is scheduled to air at 11:30pm EST on ABC. It'll also see the band performing on an outdoor stage, which will hopefully allow them to put on a balls-out Slipknot show rather than your typical toned-down late-night talk show performance.
Slipknot's new album is currently scheduled for release on August 9th. The band will be taking their Knotfest on the road in the U.S. this summer with Gojira, Volbeat, and Behemoth, so make sure you catch them at one of the following dates:
