After a cryptic billboard with their logo in Indio, CA teased “ONE NIGHT ONLY” and “LONG MAY YOU DIE,” and ahead of their Sick New World set on Saturday, Slipknot took the stage at Pioneertown, CA’s intimate Pappy & Harriet’s (capacity: 850) on Thursday night for their first show of the year. It was also their first show with their new drummer since parting ways with drummer Jay Weinberg in November. They didn’t confirm the identity of his replacement, but it was already widely speculated to be former Sepultura drummer Eloy Casagrande, and fans have pointed out that the masked drummer’s tattoos seem to confirm that.
“Tonight, it doesn’t matter you came from,” frontman Corey Taylor told the crowd, as Revolver points out. “It doesn’t matter when you were born. This year is 19 fucking’ 99, right here. We’re gonna play you some songs from beyond that year. But Goddammit, it all started in ’99, and it is starting again here tonight.”
As promised, a large part of their setlist for the intimate, $9 show (which benefited Joshua Tree No Kill Shelter and Boys & Girls Club of the Hi-Desert) pulled from their 1999 self-titled album, and they also included songs from throughout their discography (but nothing from their most recent album, 2022’s The End, So Far). See their setlist, photos from the show by Travis Shinn and Jonathan Weiner, and fan-taken video below.
