How has the Slipknot line-up changed since 2023?

Slipknot's line-up has changed four times since 2023, with three departures and one new drummer. Most recent first:

  • August 2026: the band confirmed that Sid Wilson was no longer a member, with a statement that took effect immediately.
  • 2024: Eloy Casagrande joined on drums.
  • 2023: drummer Jay Weinberg left the band.
  • 2023: Craig Jones, who handled samples and keyboards, left the band.

Who is the Slipknot drummer now?

Eloy Casagrande is the Slipknot drummer. He joined in 2024, following Jay Weinberg's exit in 2023, and he is the band's drummer heading into the 2027 stadium tour, which opens in London on 3 July 2027.

What has Slipknot released with this line-up?

The first new music from the current line-up is "Arsenal", released in September 2026. It was Slipknot's first new song in more than three years and their first release on their own (sic)est Records label, after their long deal with Roadrunner ended. The band are working on an eighth studio album with producer Matt Wallace, and no release date has been announced. Their last album, The End, So Far, reached Number 1 in the UK in 2022, the third of their UK chart-toppers; the Slipknot artist page lists all seven studio albums.

Where can you see this Slipknot line-up in the UK?

The only UK show for this line-up in 2027 is in London on Saturday 3 July 2027, the opening night of the (sic)est Stadium Tour, with Marilyn Manson, Lorna Shore and Hatebreed in support. The band say the tour has a brand new set and new staging.
