The Slipknot x Korn x Architects Global Farewell Tour has officially unveiled its full list of dates and cities, confirming what many fans feared and hoped for at the same time: this will be one of the final times these giants share a worldwide stage on such a massive scale. The announcement has instantly become one of the most significant touring moments in modern metal history.
The tour kicks off in North America with an explosive opening night in Los Angeles, California, before tearing through Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Orlando, Raleigh, Washington D.C., New York City, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and Toronto. Each stop is set in major arenas and stadium-sized venues designed to handle the overwhelming production and intensity expected from all three bands.
As the tour moves westward across the continent, additional North American dates include Denver, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, and San Diego, wrapping the leg with a massive closing show in Las Vegas. Fans across the U.S. and Canada have praised the routing for its balance between major markets and long-overdue return cities.
The European leg launches shortly after, beginning in London, followed by Manchester, Birmingham, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, Berlin, Hamburg, Prague, Vienna, Milan, Zurich, Barcelona, Madrid, and Lisbon. Nordic fans are also included with stops in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Oslo, Helsinki, and Copenhagen, reinforcing the tour’s truly global reach.
Southern and Eastern Europe are not left out, with shows scheduled in Warsaw, Budapest, Bucharest, Sofia, Athens, and Istanbul. These dates have been met with particular excitement, as many of these regions have not seen Slipknot and Korn together on the same tour in years, while Architects continue to strengthen their European stronghold.
South America marks one of the most emotionally charged legs of the tour, with performances announced in Mexico City, Monterrey, Bogotá, Lima, Santiago, Buenos Aires, and Rio de Janeiro, before culminating in a massive open-air show in São Paulo. The region’s notoriously passionate crowds are expected to make these nights some of the loudest of the entire run.
The tour then heads to the Asia-Pacific region, opening with shows in Tokyo and Osaka, followed by Seoul, Taipei, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Singapore, and Manila. Australia and New Zealand close out this leg with dates in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, and Auckland, cementing the farewell as a truly worldwide event.
Each band has reportedly tailored their setlists specifically for this tour, ensuring that every city experiences a career-spanning performance rather than a standard festival-style set. Fans can expect deep cuts, defining anthems, and moments of reflection woven into an otherwise punishing and high-energy show.
Production insiders have hinted that the stage design will evolve slightly from city to city, incorporating regional visuals, language-specific elements, and subtle nods to each country’s metal culture. This approach reinforces the idea that the Global Farewell Tour is not just passing through cities, but honoring them.
Online reactions to the released dates and cities have been intense, with several shows already being described by fans as “historic nights in the making.” Many longtime followers are planning travel across multiple cities, treating the tour as a personal pilgrimage rather than a single concert experience.
The full routing and dates were officially revealed on October 3, 2026, marking the moment the farewell became tangible rather than theoretical. Within minutes of the announcement, metal forums, social media timelines, and fan groups worldwide erupted with anticipation, nostalgia, and urgency.
As the tour approaches, anticipation continues to build around how each band will choose to say goodbye on this scale. For some fans, this will be a final chapter with the music that shaped their lives; for others, it will be the first and only chance to witness this lineup in person.
The Slipknot x Korn x Architects Global Farewell Tour stands as a defining moment for heavy music, uniting continents, generations, and legacies under one final global run. With dates and cities now revealed, the countdown has officially begun for a tour that promises to leave a permanent mark on metal history.
