Metal history is being rewritten in fire and distortion. In a move that feels less like a tour announcement and more like a seismic event, Slipknot, Korn, and Deftones have officially joined forces for The Unholy Trinity Tour 2026—a collaboration fans once whispered about but never truly believed would happen. Three titans. Three legacies. One tour that threatens to tear the metal world wide open.
For decades, each of these bands has shaped heavy music in their own brutal, boundary-breaking way. Slipknot, the masked chaos kings from Iowa, have turned rage into ritual, delivering some of the most intense live performances metal has ever seen. Korn, the godfathers of nu-metal, changed the sound of the late ’90s and early 2000s forever, blending raw emotion, hip-hop grooves, and crushing heaviness. And Deftones—the most atmospheric and experimental of the trio—brought beauty, darkness, and vulnerability into heavy music like no one else.
Now, in 2026, these three forces collide.
Dubbed “the most dangerous tour of the decade,” The Unholy Trinity Tour promises a night-by-night assault of aggression, nostalgia, and evolution. Fans can expect massive production, punishing sound systems, and setlists that span eras—from Slipknot’s neck-snapping anthems and Korn’s genre-defining classics to Deftones’ hypnotic, emotionally charged masterpieces.
Industry insiders are already calling it one of the biggest metal tours ever assembled, not just because of the star power, but because of what it represents: unity across different branches of heavy music. This isn’t about competition. It’s about domination—together.
The tour is set to hit major cities across North America, Europe, and beyond, with stadiums and arenas expected to sell out within minutes. Early reports suggest stops in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, London, Berlin, Paris, Toronto, Mexico City, and Tokyo, with more cities to be announced as demand explodes. Special guest acts are rumored, but for many fans, the main lineup alone is already legendary.
Social media has erupted since the announcement, with longtime metalheads and younger fans alike calling it a “once-in-a-lifetime lineup.” For some, it’s a reunion with the bands that shaped their youth. For others, it’s a chance to witness living legends at their absolute peak.
One thing is certain: The Unholy Trinity Tour 2026 isn’t just a concert run—it’s a cultural moment. Loud, unapologetic, and brutally unforgettable, this tour is set to prove that metal isn’t just alive—it’s more dangerous than ever.
