Full, pro-shot footage of Corey Taylor’s set at Rock Am Ring 2024 has been published online.

The Slipknot and former Stone Sour singer played the festival in Nürburg, Germany, on June 9 as part of his 2024 European tour.

While there, he not only performed songs from two solo albums (2020’s CMFT and 2023’s CMF2), but also covers of Slipknot and Stone Sour songs.

He also did the Spongebob Squarepants theme for reasons that are as yet unclear.

Watch the full video and see the setlist below.

Taylor’s summer European tour – which started on May 26 in Istanbul, Turkey – was the singer’s first since he cancelled a North American tour slated to take place from February to March.

In January, Taylor released a statement revealing his “physical and mental health” had “been breaking down”.

“It is with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my upcoming North American tour,” he said.

“For the past several months my mental and physical health have been breaking down, and I reached a place that was unhealthy for my family and I.”

Taylor doesn’t have any further solo concerts scheduled at time of publication, but will spend much of this year on the road with Slipknot.

The nu metal nine-piece will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, starting with a run of North and Central American dates from August to November.

They’ll then play in Europe in December, with support from Bleed From Within.
