Slipknot have kicked off their European tour in style with a 18-song set at the Rockfest Festival, held at the Hyvinkää Airfield in Finland. 

The band's set was their first full-length show since Knotfest in Chiba, Japan, in November 2016, although they returned to live action last month with a two song set on Jimmy Kimmel Live.  

The set included two new songs, Unsainted  – which was released last month, the first track to emerge from upcoming album We Are Not Your Kindand All Out Life, which was launched last October.  

Slipknot's next two shows are at Rock im Park and Rock am Ring in Germany, tonight and tomorrow night, before they continue with more dates including a headline show at The UK's Download Festival on June 15 (full dates below).

The band's Rockfest setlist is below, along with with some crowd-shot videos, and some drum cam footage of Jay Weinberg.
