Video footage available of Slipknot’s first shows with Eloy Casagrande

Slipknot has released an official video recap showcasing the band’s initial performances with their new drummer, former Sepultura percussionist Eloy Casagrande. The one-minute video, available below, features highlights from their intimate concert on April 25th at Pappy + Harriet’s in Pioneertown, California, as well as their first festival appearance of 2024 on April 27, where they headlined Sick New World in Las Vegas, Nevada.

For both the performances Slipknot embraced a nostalgic look, revisiting their classic 1999 red jumpsuits and incorporating elements of their original masks into modern versions. This choice resonates with their 25th-anniversary celebration this year. Following the departure of Jay Weinberg last November, Slipknot tantalized fans with a hint about their new drummer two months ago, sharing a photo of a lone broken drumstick online accompanied by the caption “Rehearsal.” The band clarified in a statement that parting ways with Weinberg was a creative decision. Jay subsequently expressed his feelings in a statement, revealing he felt “heartbroken and blindsided”. In the meantime, Weinberg has joined Suicidal Tendencies and Infectious Grooves.
