Slipknot are set to kick-off the 2022 iteration of their jaw-dropping Knotfest Roadshow Tour on March 16th. It was announced today that previously announced support, Jinjer, will no longer be joining the tour, as they focus on the safety of their families in their home country of Ukraine. Taking their place on this run will now be metalcore quintet, Wage War.
Eugene Abdukhanov of Jinjer shares the following statement:
“Thank you all for your concerned messages and prayers sent to us over the last week, we may not answer but we are reading them and they mean the world to us. As you know, there is war raging through the streets and cities of Ukraine right now. Many people have little or no food or water and are very afraid of what tomorrow may bring. Together with Napalm Records, we’re releasing two new T-Shirt designs to raise funds to be donated to various charities throughout Ukraine to help with medical and food supplies, water and so on. If you cannot donate then please share this or any news related to what’s really happening here. Each sale may save somebody’s life in Ukraine. Thank you.“
Jinjer have also released two new merch designs to help raise funds to support their country, you can check them out here. 100% of the proceeds will be distributed directly to charity organizations of Jinjer‘s choosing and the band will update fans on social media.
