After the phenomenal Forever NU festival, which seriously raised the bar of the tribute scene, Chop Suey and Slip-NOT return to the Balkan region to throw another party to remember. It can hardly be otherwise when so many top musicians with literally thousands of concerts are gathered in one place. On this regional tour, they are joined by nu-metal masters of parody, The Violent Incident, who will be premiering to the local audience.A special occasion is the 25th anniversary of the cult albums "Toxicity" and "Iowa". Expect an unprecedented spectacle dedicated to the classics that marked an entire generation.
Tickets can be purchased at a pre-sale price through Gigstix and at physical points of sale in each of the cities.
"We have a very intense ten days in Serbia and Croatia coming up and we're really looking forward to it. We already feel a bit at home here and we've made some great friendships here, now three years since we first came. The audience is great, but also fierce, they always welcome us warmly in every sense. There are obviously a lot of fans of SOAD, Slipknot and nu-metal, so I believe we'll have some memorable concerts. See you from Niš to Šibenik!", said the Portuguese. Joyzi, the spiritus movens of this whole story.

CHOP SUEY are firmly established as the biggest European tribute band to System of a Down. Hailing from the UK, they have more than a decade of relentless touring behind them, and band members include musicians from Dragonforce, Anti-Nowhere League, ex-Breed 77, Tigertailz and more. Thanks to the explosive and energetic performances of this Armenian-American band's classics, they have gained a reputation across the continent. With incredible musical precision, they bring to life the visceral stage presence of SOAD from the early 2000s, which made them an unstoppable force not to be missed. The Serbian audience has already made sure of that.
Slip-NOT is a relatively new British all-star tribute to the legendary nu-metal group from Iowa, consisting of members of the band Chop Suey. As an interesting fact, it is worth pointing out that drummer Joyzi is a member of the band Sinsaenum, where he replaced no less than the late and never regretted Joey Jordison. Slip-NOT perform a brutal, relentless set composed of the most aggressive and memorable early Slipknot songs of the 2000s. You know when the whole club sings "Left Behind", "Wait & Bleed", "People = Shit", "Eyeless" or "Psychosocial" in unison? This is exactly what you can expect this time at each of these concerts.
The Violent Incident are a unique comedy project / band / something in between, made up of Tiny D, C-man and Bean man. They describe their genre as "post-core-sub-nu-metal", and as the name itself suggests: they constantly make fun of stereotypes and clichés of the genre. They immediately warn that they are not for everyone's ears, especially not for modern "fluffs". You just have to come and see.
