Get ready, maggots—Slipknot is bringing the chaos to Adelaide and Auckland in March 2025, with two exclusive headline shows as part of their Knotfest Australia run.
Adelaide will see the masked metal legends unleash their fury at AEC Arena on Tuesday, March 4th, while Auckland fans can catch the band at Spark Arena on Tuesday, March 11th.
The announcement follows the release of their 2022 album The End, So Far, which dominated the ARIA Albums Chart, securing Slipknot their fourth consecutive Australian #1 album. 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 bleed through their maggot-infested live performances.
These sideshows are part of the larger Knotfest Australia juggernaut, which hits Melbourne, Brisbane, and Sydney in February and March. Knotfest, born in 2012 from Slipknot’s vision for a next-level festival experience, has become a global phenomenon, celebrating heavy music and counterculture. The 2025 edition features an all-star lineup, including A Day to Remember, BABYMETAL, Slaughter to Prevail, Polaris, Within Temptation, and more.
Tickets for the headline sideshows go on sale Tuesday, December 10th at 2pm local time, with pre-sales starting Thursday, December 5th for Knotfest Premium Members and early bird buyers. Tickets and info are available at destroyalllines.com. Prepare for an unrelenting live experience—these tickets won’t last.
