Slipknot’s “(sic)est Stadium Tour” opener for North American dates is Bring Me the Horizon, which is announced to open all of those dates. [1] If you’re attending a North American show, that means you can expect Bring Me the Horizon on the bill alongside Slipknot.

Knowing the opener can help you decide when to arrive and whether you want to catch the full bill. For example, if you’re planning your evening around both bands, leave room in your schedule to get into the stadium before Bring Me the Horizon takes the stage.
The North American announcement doesn’t confirm that Bring Me the Horizon will open every international date, so don’t assume the same lineup applies worldwide. Check the details for the show you plan to attend before making plans around a support act.
How to check the support acts for your date
Open the official event listing for the stadium and the exact date you plan to attend. Start from the stadium’s event page or the event organizer’s official listing, then check that the date and venue match your ticket or travel plans. The SoFi Stadium announcement, for example, names a specific Slipknot event at the stadium, so match the listing to your own stop rather than relying on a tour-wide headline. [2]
Find the billed-artist or support-act details. Look below the event title or in the event description for named artists and wording such as “support” or “special guests.” If an artist is named, note whether the listing connects that act to your specific date; if the listing shows only Slipknot, avoid treating an act advertised for another stop as confirmed for yours.
Check again before you travel. Event pages can change, so revisit the official listing close to your departure and look for updated artist details. If you have saved a screenshot or copied the lineup into your plans, compare it with the current page instead of assuming the earlier version is still current.
Keep the check focused on the exact event. For example, if you are attending a Friday show at one stadium, a listing for a different city or date does not confirm that show’s support acts. You can also check the listing on your phone while arranging your travel, then verify the event title and date once more before setting out.
Why the lineup may vary by location
The lineup can differ by location, so don’t assume a North American announcement applies to every stop. Bring Me the Horizon is named as the opener for North American dates, while the tour also includes a separate Wembley Stadium date in London.

North American dates and London
For a North American show, the announcement names Bring Me the Horizon as the opening act. That gives you a clear starting point when comparing dates in that region, such as a stop in one city with another North American stop. [1]
London is a different case: Slipknot is scheduled to perform at Wembley Stadium on July 3, 2027, as an EU/UK-exclusive date. [3] The North American opener announcement does not identify the support acts for Wembley, so check that event listing for its confirmed acts rather than carrying over the North American lineup.
Use the exact event listing
When you compare dates, treat each event as its own listing. For example, if you are considering a North American show and the London Wembley date, look at the artists billed on each event page; a tour announcement for one region is not a substitute for the other date’s details.
That distinction matters if you are choosing between cities partly for the supporting artists. Check the Wembley listing for its confirmed support acts, and use the listing tied to your own date when deciding what to expect. Don’t base a travel or ticket choice on an opener announced for a different location.
What to verify before show day
Before show day, make sure the lineup still matches the official listing for your exact concert date. Treat the event’s current listing as your final check, and look for updates from the stadium or event organizer if anything changes. [2]
A quick final check
Open the listing for the date on your ticket and review the billed artists or support-act details. Check that you have the correct stadium and date; a listing for a different stop may not reflect your event. [2]
If the lineup is unclear or an update appears, check the stadium’s or event organizer’s latest event information before you leave. For example, if a saved screenshot differs from the current event page, use the current update to guide your plans. [2]
Before you head out
Make this check part of your show-day routine, alongside confirming your route and ticket details. You do not need to rely on an old announcement or a copied lineup when a current event update is available. [2]
The key takeaway: verify the support acts against your date’s current official event information before setting out. Check the listing once more on show day, and use any newer stadium or organizer update if details have changed. [2]
