Can there possibly be another guitar player-singer who knows 6 SHOWS worth of those long intricate songs and jams (and is in the groove with the rest of the band) on 2 DAYS notice? Something tells me Slipknot will not be in the set list.

After seeing vaxxed deadheads finger wag to the unvaxxed dead heads for the entire last tour this is ironic.

The statement does not say he’s pulling out of the 2nd weekend.

Please help us get refunds !! CID refusing to even answer emails !!!

Oh no! That’s terrible.

So sorry about Billy, and hope Mayer is not too sick..., but, wow, I love this new PITS line up!
