Fan-filmed video footage of SLIPKNOT's August 30 performance at PNC Bank Center in Holmdel, New Jersey can be seen below. SLIPKNOT's "Knotfest Roadshow" headline tour of North America kicked off on July 26 in Mountain View, California at Shoreline Amphitheater and will continue through September 8 where it will conclude with a performance at Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion in The Woodlands, Texas.
