Slipknot Coming to Costa Rica in Concert

Slipknot will have its first concert in Costa Rica. The band is bringing 16 years of experience and 60 tons of equipment for the performance. It will also share with the Ticos its collection of masks used throughout the years.

It was 2006 when the group won a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. The American band became famous worldwide for its unique sound and terrifying masks that we will get to see firsthand at the Knotfest Roadshow in December.

The event will take place on December 4 at the Pedregal Events Center. It will include a fireworks display. The concert will be performed about 50 times in the U.S. between August and September. The band will then go to Mexico and Colombia.

The impressive show is interactive. It’s likely to be sold out due to the number of fans in the country. The ticket price has not yet been determined. Tickets will be on sale by the end of July.

Will the The Ironman 70.3 Return to Costa Rica?

The Ironman 70.3 Costa Rica organization is analyzing whether it would be financially profitable to keep up the competition for a fourth consecutive year. This year, the third edition, left them very in the red.

Miami Tri Events is the company that brings the brand to the country. The 2017 triathlon had a high enrollment of 2,000 people but then in 2018 it dropped to 1,411. This Sunday only 1,319 people participated at Playas del Coco.

With this decrease of 37% in enrollment there are doubts as to whether it will happen next year. This drop also meant a drop in income and sponsors. They were unable to offer the Pro category because of lack of funds in the budget. The decision was to make the cut in the Pro category as to not affect the budget for security.

Financial results from all three years will be considered when it comes time to make the decision about 2020.

The first to cross the finish line was Rom Akerson but since he is Pro he was prohibited from winning, leaving Ernesto Espinoza with the first place title.
