SLIPKNOT have expanded their massive 2026 "Here Comes the Pain" world tour into Europe, with Germany taking center stage in the newly announced routing. The masked metal titans confirmed a show at Munich's Olympiastadion on July 15 and Berlin's Mercedes-Benz Arena on July 18, bringing their incendiary live show to two of Europe's most prestigious venues.
The announcement came on March 23, with fan club presale launching the following day on March 24 and general ticket sales beginning March 25. The European dates join an already packed schedule that includes the Knotfest Roadshow across North America running from July 26 through September 8.
The tour is running in tandem with SLIPKNOT's new album campaign, with the band's latest studio effort set for release on August 9. The combination of new material and a worldwide tour signals that SLIPKNOT are operating at full force in 2026, continuing to command the kind of stadium-level audiences that few metal bands can claim in the modern era.
Germany has long been one of SLIPKNOT's strongest European markets, and the decision to anchor the initial European announcement around Munich and Berlin reflects the band's massive fanbase in the country. The Olympiastadion in particular represents a major venue upgrade, with the iconic stadium capable of hosting tens of thousands of fans for what promises to be a spectacle of pyrotechnics, chaos, and crushing heaviness.
Additional European dates are expected to be announced in the coming weeks as the routing fills out. SLIPKNOT have consistently proven themselves as one of metal's greatest live acts, and the "Here Comes the Pain" tour is shaping up to be their most ambitious global run yet. Fans across Europe would be wise to act quickly when tickets go on sale, as SLIPKNOT shows have a history of selling out rapidly.
