The band are currently touring in the UK in support of their sixth studio album ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, which was released back in August.
Slipknot will play a sold-out show at The O2 in London on Saturday (January 25), and the band have announced that an ‘Iowa Whiskey’ pop-up shop will operate all weekend to celebrate the tour reaching the capital.
The pop-up will be located at The Provender Building in Camden Market, and will be open from 12pm-6pm on Saturday and 12pm-5pm on Sunday (January 26).
Slipknot band members will be present on the Saturday between 12pm and 3pm to sign bottles of the band’s endorsed ‘No. 9’ whisky. Limited stock of the drink will be available to buy at the pop-up, while the store will also stock exclusive band merchandise and 12 x 12 print vinyl bundles.
