Jay Weinberg is starting a new musical era as he performs live under Suicidal Tendencies for the first time. This also marked his first public appearance since he parted ways with his previous band, Slipknot.
According to Loudwire, the drummer and his new band recently took the stage of the Yogibo Meta Valley in Osaka, Japan, just a week after he announced that he's officially a member of Suicidal Tendencies.
Setlist.fm reported that the group performed over 13 songs, including "You Can't Bring Me Down" and their finale track, "Institutionalized."
Weinberg last performed on stage with Slipknot in November 2024. They were playing in the Hell and Heaven Festival in Mexico at the time. He later performed one song with The Bouncing Souls in December 2023.
