Who doesn’t love a good Slipknot headlining tour? Especially one that takes you all the way back to high school! The incomparable and quintessential metalcore act took to the road with This Summer’s Last Stand as the tour moniker with groove metal specialists Lamb of God at their backs, who just released the quite excellent VII: Sturm and Drang [review]. Along for the ride were the UK’s powerful Bullet of My Valentine and America’s Motionless In White (not pictured, because reasons).

All the bands had excellent performances, bringing their A games to the stage and pleasing nearly sold out stops along the way. Please enjoy the pictures of their stop in the Chicagoland area at the Hollywood Casino Amphitheater (formerly the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater) in Tinley Park, IL!
