Knotfest Announces Jinjer’s Replacement for First Leg of 2022 Tour
Earlier today, Jinjer confirmed that they've canceled their 2022 North American tour as a result of the war in Ukraine. Slipknot's Knotfest Roadshow has now announced who will be replacing them on the first leg of their 2022 dates — Wage War.
The first set of Knotfest dates kicks off March 16 in Fargo, N.D. and wraps up April 17 in Vancouver, British Columbia. In This Moment will also open the dates for this segment of the tour, and then Cypress Hill and Ho99o9 will join in for the second leg, which begins May 18.
See the full Knotfest schedule below.
In light of the war in Jinjer's home country of Ukraine, the band launched a donation campaign, including two new T-shirt designs, in order to raise money for charity. Bassist Eugene Abdukhanov released a statement about the campaign.
“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," he said.
"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.“
