Slipknot have announced the North American portion of their Here Comes The Pain Tour.

This year the band is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their seminal self-titled debut album, Slipknot, which catapulted the band back in 1999.

In addition to recently announced dates across the globe, the Here Comes The Pain Tour includes arena plays nationwide this Summer. Highlights include New York City's Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles' Intuit Dome, Austin's Moody Center and more with direct support from Kentucky's young and vibrant hardcore/metal forerunners, Knocked Loose.

Orbit Culture and Vended are confirmed as support on select dates.

The tour includes Slipknot's homecoming performance at Knotfest Iowa in which the band will play a unique set drawing heavily from their 1999 debut, celebrating 25 years of the self-titled album along with their fans.

Released on June 29, 1999, Slipknot was a smash hit with critics and an instant classic with fans.

"We loved what we did with the first record but we didn't even know if there was gonna be anything after that," recalls guitarist Jim Root. "We just wanted people to hear it. Selling out of records and shows, having successful tours- those are goals for any band. But the dream scenario in some ways, came true for us."

Siouxsie Sioux Duets With Iggy Pop On New Version Of 'The Passenger'

Siouxsie Sioux has teamed up with Iggy Pop for a new rendition of "The Passenger." The song was originally co-written and recorded by Iggy Pop for his iconic album Lust For Life, which dropped in 1977.

Siouxsie Sioux has teamed up with Iggy Pop for a new rendition of "The Passenger."

The song was originally co-written and recorded by Iggy Pop for his iconic album Lust For Life, which dropped in 1977.

"The Passenger" was then re-recorded a decade later, by Siouxsie And The Banshees, for their 1987 covers album Through The Looking Glass.

Now, nearly 35 years later, Sioux and Pop teamed up to remake the song for the third time for a new advert to promote Magnum ice cream.

In the ad, an actress is seen eating an ice cream bar while riding on a train and, in the background, the new rendition of the song can be heard.

In a press statement, Pop praised Siouxsie, saying she "can sing like a bird," and adding, "I've always thought she was a great lady. Her version of the song was already special, but what happened here, singing together, is really unique. Like 'Volare,' the orchestral treatment and marriage of voices flies free, in a spirit of joy."

Siouxsie added, "I love this song, and I've always loved Iggy's voice. I adore how instinctive and spontaneous it all feels and to hear my voice with Iggy's is such a dream."
