Slipknot’s metal festival Knotfest returns to Australia in February and March of 2025. The third edition of the Australian leg of the festival is headlined by Slipknot who are celebrating their 25th anniversary.
Knotfest kicks off in Melbourne at Flemington Racecourse on Friday, February 28 and then continues in Brisbane at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday, March 2 and Sydney’s Centennial Park on Saturday, March 8.
While organisers have revealed the dates for Knotfest 2025, the lineup is yet to drop, although expect more details in the coming weeks. Those keen on getting tickets as soon as they go on sale can register for early bird pre-sale tickets here.
Since its inception in 2012 when the first Knotfest was held in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and Somerset, Wisconsin, the event has become one of the biggest metal festivals in the world. Not only is it held in America, but Knotfest has taken place in Germany, Japan, Argentina, Finland, Brazil, and of course, Australia.
The inaugural Australian leg of the festival arrived Down Under in 2023 and featured headliners Slipknot, Parkway Drive, Megadeth and Trivium. This year’s two-stage edition had another enviable bill, with Pantera, Disturbed, Lamb of God and Halestorm just some of the incredible acts who performed.
Next year’s event will be extra special with Slipknot celebrating their 25th anniversary and punters can expect a few surprises when the lineup drops.
