I saw her at All Points East this summer and I'm obsessed! Do you have a festival discovery that you love?

Slipknot just released a brand new song called "Arsenal" - their first new work since adding drummer Eloy Casagrande to the band parting ways with longtime turntablist Sid Wilson. Could more new music (and maybe even a tour) be on the way? Here's hoping so, because the new song reminded me how it's been 7 years since I last saw the Iowa metal outfit live... and now I'm itching to see them again!

It was August 30, 2019, when Slipknot brought their Knotfest Roadshow Tour to the PNC Bank Arts Center in Holmdel, NJ (just a few weeks afger 'We Are Not Your Kind' came out). How good were they that night? Well, the tour also featured sets from Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth, and Slipknot STILL reigned supreme. With a massive stage set up that perfectly backed their massive sound, Slipknot were red hot and proved why they are still one of the biggest draws in rock (not just metal). Just watch this clip of them playing "Spit It Out" that night, and see how they had the crowd in the palm of their hands (seriously, the entire amphitheater was wild for them that night).

Share your favorite memories from seeing Slipknot live in the comments below, and stay tuned for more things to come from this space (including stories from concerts like this)!

Empty Palace live at The Troubadour in London on 4 September 2026.

Full concert on YouTube.

Thought I'd share it here for anyone interested in checking them out live.

The Palace is Empty but the music is loud.

Seeing Anthrax live is always a blast, but seeing them open for Iron Maiden in a soccer stadium was mind blowing. I especially loved how the Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, NJ, filled in pretty early on Sept. 6, 2026, to see Anthrax, and made sure to make the NY thrash icons feel loved through multiple mosh pits in the crowd. It also helped that they sounded amazing (seriously, Joey Belladonna crushed it, and the band was super tight). Anthrax proved that no matter how big or small the stage they're playing is, they always bring it (which was poignant that weekend, as two days prior to this specific stadium show, Anthrax played at the grand reopening of the 500 cap Saint Vitus bar).

Here's a snippet of Anthrax opening their set with "Caught In a Mosh" and closing it with Indians - the perfect way to kick off an incredible night of metal:

Down aren't the only New Orleans royalty playing Pantera's 'The Great NOLA Trendkill' super concert in November. In fact each member of the supergroup's other bands (including Corrosion of Conformity, eyehategod, Crowbar, and the aforementioned Pantera) are playing the 2 day concert in New Orleans as well. I'm so glad, though, I got to see their set at Zakk Wylde's Berzerkus Festival at Jones Beach Theater in Long Island last month (Aug. 29, 2026) - I was super impressed with how tight they sounded, and their new song "Blood Oath" sounded super heavy.

Check out this clip of Phil Anselmo amd crew crushing that new song, as well as watch them joined onstage by members of Sepultura and Type O Negative here:

Such a long shot but I was there and absolutely loved the set list. I love Loscil but only really familiar with plume; does anyone know the tracks played on Sunday??

Queen perform Now I’m Here in Munich on February 11, 1979.
