Slipknot Announce Tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men

I can’t believe it took this long, given that they both have a flare for the theatrical, the “shocking,” and, in some cases, the pretentious, but it’s happening: Slipknot and Marilyn Manson are touring together (Of Mice & Men will be there, too).

The two artists previously crossed paths when now-former Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison cameoed in the video for Manson’s cover of “Tainted Love.” I don’t really know what that has to do with anything, but wanted to point it out.

ANYWAY, the trek’s organizers have made the, um, interesting choice to announce which cities and towns the tour would be hitting, but not the dates or venues. So read these and see if you need to keep checking back in the coming weeks for updates or if you can just skip to the whining that they’re not coming anywhere near you part:
