Rammstein and Slipknot Officially Announce Explosive Joint World Tour, Revealing Full Dates, Global Cities, and Unmatched Metal Performances for Fans Worldwide
In a moment that will be etched into heavy metal history, Rammstein and Slipknot have officially announced a colossal joint world tour, uniting two of the most theatrical, aggressive, and influential forces the genre has ever produced. After years of rumors, speculation, and fan-driven wish lists, the announcement has finally landed—and it is every bit as earth-shaking as metal faithful hoped it would be.
Dubbed “The Fire & Chaos World Tour 2026,” the global trek promises an unprecedented collision of industrial firepower and unrelenting extreme metal fury. With full dates and cities now revealed, fans across continents are preparing for what many are already calling the most intense live metal experience of the decade.
Two Titans, One Stage
Rammstein, the German industrial metal juggernaut known for its towering pyrotechnics, militaristic precision, and controversial theatricality, will bring their fire-drenched spectacle to the world alongside Slipknot, the masked icons of modern metal whose live shows are synonymous with chaos, catharsis, and raw emotional violence.
While both bands have independently headlined stadiums and festivals worldwide, this marks the first-ever full-scale co-headlining world tour between the two. According to the official statement, each night will feature full production sets from both bands, rotating closing slots in select cities, ensuring no fan leaves feeling shortchanged.
“This tour isn’t about compromise,” the announcement reads. “It’s about excess, intensity, and giving metal fans everything—louder, hotter, and heavier than ever before.”

Expect synchronized firestorms, towering LED backdrops, custom-built stages, and extended setlists drawing from career-spanning catalogs. Fans can anticipate classics like “Du Hast,” “Sonne,” “Ich Will,” colliding with Slipknot anthems such as “Psychosocial,” “Duality,” “Before I Forget,” and “People = Sht.”*
Insiders hint at one or two collaborative moments during select shows—though details remain tightly guarded.
