Heavy Metal Royalty Chris Fehn Headlines Shreveport Geek'd Con 2026
A true heavy metal legend, and an architect of some of the most iconic sounds in rock history, is coming to Geek'd Con 2026. Coming to Shreveport is Number 3 himself, Chris Fehn to Geek'd Con!
For over two decades, Chris was a driving percussive force and backing vocalist for the Grammy-winning, multi-platinum metal juggernaut, Slipknot.
Designated as #3, he helped define the band's chaotic, multi-layered percussion sound, aggressively beating on custom timpani-style drums...or empty beer kegs...while providing the deep, heavy backing growls that perfectly contrasted the lead vocals. Metal fans instantly recognize him for his iconic mask...the custom bondage-style hood featuring a massive "Pinocchio" nose...which became an absolute staple of Slipknot's legendary, high-energy live shows.
During his incredible 21-year run with the band, Chris recorded and performed on the albums that cemented Slipknot as global titans: their genre-redefining self-titled debut Slipknot (1999), the ferocious Iowa (2001), Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) (2004), the chart-topping All Hope Is Gone (2008), and .5: The Gray Chapter (2014). Across this legendary era, the band amassed staggering sales, moving over 30 million records worldwide, generating billions of streams, and headlining the biggest music festivals on the planet.
Don't miss your chance to meet Chris, score a custom autograph, and talk about your favorite heavy metal memories all weekend long.
