Slipknot in Sheffield: The rules on wearing masks and bringing food and drink into FlyDSA Arena

Fresh off the back of topping the UK Album Chart for their much lauded sixth studio album, ‘We Are Not Your Kind’, SLIPKNOT bring their unique show to Sheffield’s FlyDSA Arena on Monday, 20 January.

Doors will open at 6.30pm and support on the night comes from Polish extreme metal band BEHEMOTH, who are set to play from 7.30pm until 8.15pm.

Slipknot will take to the stage at 9pm and play until 10.45pm, but times are subject to change.

Despite Glasgow’s SSE Hydro Arena banning dozens of items including spiked belts, collars and large chain wallets, the FlyDSA Arena has not done the same.

But any masks brought into the venue may only be worn once inside the auditorium. Gig-goers may also be subject to searches.

Bags larger than A3 size (about 40cm x 35cm x 19cm) are not allowed in the venue – and personal belongings should be kept to a minimum to avoid additional searches and delays to getting in.

Only food & drink purchased in the venue can be consumed in the Arena.

You are allowed to take your purchases to your seat, but sometimes restrictions are in place, such as no bottles or bottles can only be served with the tops removed.

Cold tap water is available in disposable plastic cups free of charge on all shows.

The unauthorised use of cameras, mobile phones, ipads, video or any other form of recording equipment is also strictly prohibited.

There will be no access to the venue’s car parks before 3pm and without a ticket, which can be pre-purchased online or upon arrival. Drop-offs and pick-ups are also not allowed in the venue’s car parks.

The Arena is now a cashless venue and only takes card payments for on-site parking and at food & drink outlets.
