Things are heating up in Slipknot land. The band’s highly anticipated new album is set to drop August 9th, with Maggots still foaming at the mouth from playing lead single “All Out Life” on repeat. Heavy metal’s premiere masked mad men also have a full slate of live shows ahead of them, including a sold-out gig at the Iowa State Fair and the first-ever Knotfest Roadshow trek, with Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth handling support duties. Add to this list an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Slipknot will play the televised “outdoor mini-concert” on Friday, May 17th, with their performance scheduled to air at 11:35 p.m. EST on ABC. The show is free for fans to attend, but tickets are extremely limited and will go extremely fast — check here to see when they’ll become available to the public and jump on them when they do. In the meantime, we’re wondering if this means we’ll all finally get to see Slipknot’s new masks — we think so!
