also performed tracks from their latest full-length release, ‘The End, So Far’: ‘Yen’ and ‘The Dying Song (Time To Sing)’.One of the main highlights from the 18-song set, however, was the return of founding member Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan, who took to the stage for the first time after announcing that he would be sitting out of live shows to support his wife through mental health issues.The show also saw all nine members take to the stage — including Craig’s currently unnamed replacement — and return ‘Left Behind’ to the setlist.

Performed midway through the set, the song is taken from the band’s hit 2001 album ‘Iowa’, and was performed for the first time since their last tour in 2022.Check out fan-captured footage of the set below, as well as the full setlist from the night.Download: Day 4 – slipknot pic.twitter.com/yb6nGe89f9— ANVIL RECORDS (@anvilrecordsltd) June 11, 20231. ‘The Blister Exists’2. ‘The Dying Song (Time to Sing)’3. ‘Liberate’4. ‘Yen’5. ‘Psychosocial’6. ‘The Devil in.
