Slipknot's documentary film, 'Day Of The Gusano', lands as a 'one night only' event in over 1,000 cinemas globally on 6th September, including over a hundred in the UK.

Tickets for the one off screening are now available for purchase over at dayofthegusano.com and you can check out a new sneak peek of some documentary footage from the movie right here:





'Day Of The Gusano' is directed by Slipknot's own M Shawn Crahan, aka 'Clown', and documents the Iowa band's first ever visit to Mexico City in December 2015 and features exclusive interviews and behind the scenes footage of Slipknot members talking about their long awaited first ever show there and the importance of their fanbase, fondly known as 'maggots', 'Gusano' being the Spanish translation.

The movie also chronicles the rabid devotion of their Mexican 'gusano' and details personal, emotive stories from some of their fans, all interspersed with footage from Slipknot's incendiary live show at the inaugural Knotfest, Mexico.

The film features colossal surround sound, so you'll not only witness the show, but you'll feel it as if you were actually there. Here's the full trailer:



Talking about the movie, Clown tells us:

"Slipknot still has dreams for itself. Finally playing Mexico was one of them.

"It's been a surreal life of rock and roll for Slipknot and the fact that the dreams still go on for us is simply incredible. Thank you."

Guitarist Jim Root continues:

"We had such a great time at Knotfest Mexico... not only with all the friends and bands that were there, but with the fans and the crowd we had to document it with. Now we get to share it with the world."

Kknotfest is Slipknot's own self-curated, destination festival brand, currently held in three international locations; the US, Japan and Mexico.

Designed as an immersive, unforgettable, "dark carnival experience", the event invites you into Slipknot's apocalyptic underworld where stunning visuals, firebreathers and nightmarish creatures on stilts set the stage for an intoxicating and memorable weekend of live music.

Knotfest's plans for 2017 are detailed right here.
