Slipknot announced earlier this week that they were bringing Knotfest to Australia for three east coast dates in 2023. They’ve now shared its mammoth lineup, featuring the likes of Parkway Drive, Megadeth, Trivium, Northlane and Amon Amarth.
The bill for the inaugural Knotfest Australia also includes In Flames, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, Story of the Year, Bad Omens and Malevolence. Rounding out the local acts on next year’s lineup are Alpha Wolf and Void of Vision. Altogether, it’s a diverse sonic mix, with something to please most heavy music fans.
