If you need a refresher, Knotfest is Slipknot’s own self-curated, destination festival brand, currently held in eight international locations; the US, Japan, Mexico, Finland, Germany, Colombia, Chile and Brazil. Designed as an immersive, unforgettable, ‘dark carnival experience’, the event invites you into Slipknot’s apocalyptic underworld where stunning visuals, fire breathers and nightmarish creatures on stilts set the stage for an intoxicating and memorable weekend of live music.
A staple at Knotfests all over the world, the Knotfest Museum will also be making its way to Australia for the very first time. The Knotfest Museum features a jaw-dropping collection of items from the band’s history and a fan-favourite attraction at the other Knotfests around the globe.
