From a press release:

The masked metal maniacs of Slipknot will bring their massive summer headlining tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men to the Giant Center in Hershey on Sunday, July 10 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets, which are $32.35, $47.85, and $62.35, plus fees, go on sale this Friday, March 4 at noon and will be available at the Giant Center box office (550 Hersheypark Dr., Hershey), online at hersheyentertainment.com and ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 717-534-3911 or 800-745-3000.

Slipknot’s shows are unrivaled in jaw-dropping excitement and intensity, and this summer’s stage show will push even greater limits. The band’s raw and poignant new single “Goodbye” is currently impacting rock radio outlets nationwide and following the success of the band’s Top 10 hit “Killpop.” Earlier this year, Slipknot released their official music video for “Killpop,” which was directed by the band’s own Shawn “Clown” Crahan and has since amassed over 23 million views streaming on Slipknot’s official YouTube channel. “Killpop” marked the band’s second Top 10 radio hit from their acclaimed new album “.5: The Gray Chapter,” the other being the blockbuster first single “The Devil in I,” which proved a multi-format rock radio smash.

“.5: The Gray Chapter,” Slipknot’s fifth studio album for Roadrunner Records and the first since 2008’s RIAA platinum certified chart-topper, “All Hope Is Gone,” made a stunning chart debut upon its arrival in October of 2014, entering the SoundScan/Billboard 200 chart at No. 1 with sales in excess of 131,000 albums – the highest debut for a hard rock record in 2014.

Slipknot emerged at the tail end of the 20th century and quickly established itself as the most enigmatic, provocative, and aggressive collective of the modern era. 1999’s “Slipknot” stands as a true milestone, named by Metal Hammer as the “Best Debut of the Last 25 Years.” The album fast earned 2x RIAA platinum certification, with each of Slipknot’s following releases – including four video albums – all receiving additional platinum certifications in the U.S. and around the globe. All told, the band has 11 platinum and 39 gold record certifications worldwide.
