Tattoo the Earth was a concert tour from 2000 to 2002 in the United States.[1] Scott Alderman, the festival's creator, believed that the tour would help "catch the vibe" between the musical artists and the body artists, saying in a prepared statement, "Nothing represents the counter youth culture like music and body art. It is a statement of purpose and a passport to another way of living. We're simply creating a venue where it can be expressed."[2]
MTV revealed on June 6, 2000 that Slayer and Sepultura recently joined the tour.[3] Metallica, which was originally not part of the tour, officially announced on June 13, 2000 that they would be joining it.[4] The following day, Stone Temple Pilots announced plans to join the tour.[5]
The tour, with part of it taking place during the summer, posed a challenge to Slipknot in particular. The band performed onstage in masks, and even under the best circumstances, they found them uncomfortable.[2] The band's drummer Joey Jordison commented, "Everyone passes out two or three times per tour. It never happens 'til the end of the show. People are like, 'I don't know how you do it with the mask on, let alone one-piece wool coveralls in 110 degree heat.' But it's the music that drives us, and we've built up a tolerance for it."[2]
Alderman announced in 2022 that the tour would return in August that year, with Anthrax headlining.[6]
