SLIPKNOT WINNER

DAMN you lot kept me busy - the sheer amount of entries to the Slipknot ticket competition meant we had use a calculator, super computer and the trusty abacus to allocate each entry a number and then shuffle all the numbers, and get the metal mutt to place his paw on a number.

The winner is Margaret and the tickets will be in the post to her shortly.

But, with so many entries to see Sikth, Suicidal Tendencies, and Slipknot at the SSE Arena on 15th February means only one thing....YOU HAVEN'T bought your tickets yet.

Race down now to your local ticket emporium, click on a link and go buy - there are still tickets available.

C'mon, no excuses. We witnessed Slipknot in Dublin 13 months ago and boy, oh boy do they put on a show. Intense and enjoyable.

Here's what Corey Taylor said: "Any time we get the chance to come over to the UK it's awesome. Hopefully the fans will have as much fun as we do. We'll be putting together a great set for them and as we fill out the bill with bands, we hope the excitement gets even bigger".

And, with Sikth and Suicidal Tendencies it is a line-up that brings prog, crossover and the 'Knot we here are excited. - roll on 15th February. Sure you can get your wife, husband, girlfriend, or boyfriend a ticket and claim that it's a valentine gift....
