Here it is. It seems the internet does not like Corey's new mask; I kind of agree with the internet.
New Slipknot song, masks, Album name

Looks like the tickets are sold out, so StubHub it is. I've never been to a show at the fair, are there bad seats? Don't think I'll be in the pit for this one

It’s a prwtty good venue . It’s so open there is not really a bad spot.
Good to know. Does the overhang over the grandstand create bad sound or is it okay?

I would avoid the Grandstand Seating if at all possible as it seems so far away from the actual stage. I wouldn't go to the pit but I think there is seating in front of the grandstands that I would recommend over the Grandstands.
We sat in the front 5 rows of the Grandstands for a concert last Summer at the fair and the members of the band were far away that you ended up watching the screens on the sides of the stage.
Let me reminisce real quick...
My first concert was Mancow's Lazer Luau 2 in Ankeny. The set list was and still is fantastic:
Deadfront
Dope
Fear Factory
Loudmouth
Machine Head
Megadeth
Orgy
Painface
Slipknot
Static-X
What I remember the most, was there was a wrestling ring set-up away from the stages and people were mixing it pretty good. Anyway, this group of dudes wearing orange jump suits and masks...
...got up there at one point and started screwing around. I had previously seen them out walking around the with everyone else in the crowd, so I didn't think much of it really. Well, I thought best to keep my distance because "why tf were these dudes all dressed like this walking around"? I was only 16 at the time and hadn't been exposed to this type of "weirdo" before. Fast forward several hours and the dudes in orange jumpsuits were on stage because they were Slipknot. Pretty amazing experience.
Holy cow, that lineup.........

Just need American Head Charge and Soulfly to round it out hahaha!
At the time, all I really cared about was Orgy, FF, Megadeth, Slipknot and Static X. I didn't even get to see Static X because they were on the second stage and their set was over before I realized it even started.
Oh man! FF would have been really cool. I saw Static-X at Toad Holler in 2000ish after they released Machine. One of the best shows I've ever seen. I bet that show was a blast.
The new song is really growing on me. In that video it seems like the intro in the video is longer than on the radio and just seems to take forever to get going.
Deadfront I saw at Hairy Marys. Jim Root and Shawn Economacki from Stone Sour were in the band. Root is in Slipknot now but before that he was in Deadfront.
Another song released. Definitely heavier than 'Unsainted' (which grew on me a lot)
Slipknot has another album coming out in September. Here is the first release
