After months of relentless chaos and sold-out arenas, Slipknot has announced two exclusive headline sideshows next year on the heels of Knotfest Australia, visiting Adelaide's AEC Arena on Tuesday 4 March, and Spark Arena in Auckland on Tuesday 11 March.
As always, attendees can expect a performance unlike any other, from a band who only get more thrilling, exciting and cathartic as time goes on. Having released a new record in 2022, The End, So Far (crowned at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart; their fourth consecutive album to do so), Slipknot refuse to rest on past glories and continue to innovate, with fan favourites including as many new songs as older. Between enduring fan-revered singles like Duality, Psychosocial and Wait and Bleed, as well as deeper cuts and newer material over the years, Slipknot’s drive and creativity bleeds through their jaw-dropping live performances.
In 2012, the journey to creating a platform of their own in Knotfest, was born out of Slipknot’s dedication to creating a memorable live experience for audiences around the world. Headline slots at some of the world’s biggest festivals including Download, Wacken, Rock In Rio, Louder Than Life, Hellfest and more perfectly set Slipknot up with the ambition to take things further; building their own festival that not only championed new waves of incredible talent, but enshrined their own status as one of the best bands to do it.”
The music and counterculture experience that is Knotfest will hit the East coast of Australia starting on Friday, February 28th at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, then heads to Brisbane on Sunday, March 2nd at Brisbane Showground before wrapping up in Sydney on Saturday, March 8th at Centennial Park.
Headlined by Slipknot, the 2025 festival line-up also includes A Day To Remember, Babymetal, Slaughter To Prevail, Polaris, Within Temptation, Enter Shikari, Hatebreed, In Hearts Wake, Health, Miss May I, Vended and Sunami.
Tickets for Knotfest are on sale now, and don't miss your chance to catch Slipknot in a headline setting next March in Adelaide and Auckland; these tickets definitely won't last long!
