The epic Knotfest Australia is making its way Down Under for the first time this year, and Slipknot‘s festival has now announced some massive sideshows.
The festival, created by the legendary metal outfit, is all about celebrating music, art, and counterculture. After selling out tickets in record time, Knotfest has revealed some incredible headline sideshows from some of the stellar artists on the festival lineup.
Megadeth, accompanied by special guests In Flame, will perform at Adelaide’s Entertainment Centre Theatre on Tuesday, March 21st. They’ll then do it all over again the following night at Melbourne’s Margaret Court Arena.
Amon Amarth and Trivium are combining for not one but two mammoth co-headline shows, first at Melbourne’s Forum on Thursday, March 23rd, followed by Brisbane’s Eatons Hill Hotel on Tuesday, March 28th. The pair will also be joined by support act Malevolence.
Bad Omens, Knocked Loose, Story of the Year, and Spiritbox will also perform Knotfest sideshows (see full details below).
