It’s that time again for the Rock Sins staff to cast their eyes back over the great, the good and the not quite so good of the past twelve months from 2015. Kicking things off in traditional style is our features ed Jamie. You may spot something of a recurring theme with his picks this…
Well none of us saw this coming. Slipknot were supposedly taking the bulk of 2016 off after an extremely busy year and a half, so Radio One’s Dan Carter dropped a mega-maggot bombshell on The Rock Show last night when he announced Slipknot would be returning to the UK early next year for a brand…

On the sixth night of Slipknot’s Prepare For Hell tour, the band return to London’s Wembley Arena for their first London show since 2009.
