SLIPKNOT's concert in Phoenix, Arizona Tuesday night (November 2) was briefly disrupted after a bonfire was started in the mosh pit.
The band was performing at the Ak-Chin Pavilion as part of
SLIPKNOT's
"Knotfest Roadshow" when the fire began shooting up in the air, with the scene captured in various social media posts from fans who attended the concert.
Just minutes earlier, the crowd sang "Happy Birthday" to guitarist
Mick Thomson, who is turning 48 years old on Wednesday, before
SLIPKNOT launched into
"All Out Life". As a result of the delay,
SLIPKNOT was reportedly forced to drop
"Duality" and
"Spit It Out" from its set.
John Marshall, a journalist who was at the show said a fire truck was "outside the gate" as he exited the venue.
The
"Knotfest Roadshow" tour, featuring support from
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE,
FEVER 333 and
CODE ORANGE, kicked off following
SLIPKNOT's
Knotfest Iowa hometown show in Des Moines on September 25, and will wrap up at
Knotfest Los Angeles on November 5 at Banc Of California Stadium.
Back in November 2019, a "security issue" caused the cancelation of
SLIPKNOT's's appearance at the
Knotfest Meets Forcefest in Mexico City. According to reports, the stage barricade broke during
BEHEMOTH's set and it was impossible to fix it in time for either of the two scheduled closers —
SLIPKNOT and
EVANESCENCE — to perform.
