Cryptic posters featuring Slipknot's iconic 'S' logo and a red background have been appearing in cities around the world, prompting speculation among fans about a potential new tour announcement. The artworks were initially seen across at least 10 cities in North and South America on Tuesday, September 22, and have now also been spotted in London.
Fans have shared photos of the posters on social media, with sightings reported in locations including Los Angeles, New York, Mexico City, Bogota, Buenos Aires, and Toronto. Each poster also displays the URL unlock.slipknot1.com. When visited, the site encourages email sign-ups for updates and shows the numbers nine and 28, which some fans interpret as a hint towards an announcement on Monday, September 28.
These developments follow the band's recent release of the surprise single 'Arsenal' earlier this month, their first new music in three years. Guitarist Jim Root has indicated that 'Arsenal' is a standalone project and will not be part of their upcoming album, which will be their first since 2022's 'The End, So Far'.
