KNOTFEST exploded onto the Australian festival circuit in 2023 filling a gaping hole in the local heavy music market. KNOTFEST 25 is the third time the circus has visited Australia and founders Slipknot return. The festival began in 2012 and has been touring the world ever since featuring some of the best in global Nu Metal and heavy music with unparalleled production and attractions.
