Slipknot has postponed their Kyiv, Moscow, and Minsk performances due to the ongoing aggression by the Russian government in Ukraine. Slipknot made a statement regarding the postponements, saying they were done "in solidarity with the people of Ukraine."
"Unfortunately we will be postponing our Kyiv, Moscow, and Minsk performances. New dates will be forthcoming.
"We had looked forward to reuniting with our fans in these incredible cities, coming back together after global lockdown. But we take this step in support of our community and in solidarity with the people of Ukraine, for whom the struggle continues, in a new and more terrible form. We also acknowledge that our Russian and Belarusian fans are overwhelmingly united with the Ukrainians in their fight for peace.
"The safety and well-being of our global families is, and always will be, our top priority."
Vocalist Corey Taylor and his son Griffin also posted their own statement in support of the Ukrainian people, saying they "send their love, [our] best wishes to all our family and friends in the Ukraine."
