You did it, Victorian maggots, the Melbourne leg of Knotfest has officially sold out, more than three months in advance.
The Melbourne leg of the highly anticipated Australia debut of the Slipknot curated festival will take place on Friday the 24th of March, with organisers reporting that ticket availability for both Sydney and Brisbane is also getting dangerously low.
The strong advance sales for Knotfest's debut down under, which will feature Slipknot headlining a bill featuring the likes of Parkway Drive, Megadeth, Trivium, Amon Amarth and Spiritbox further underlines both the popularity of Slipknot in Australia and the extreme demand for metal festivals down under. Australian maggots are evidently excited for the opportunity to finally immerse themselves in the 'dark carnival experience' that Knotfest provides.
The full lineup for Knotfest Australia is comprised of Slipknot ,Parkway Drive, Megadeth, Trivium, Northlane, Amon Amarth, In Flames, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, Story Of The Year, Alpha Wolf, Void Of Vision, Bad Omens and Malevolence.
The three-date run of Knotfest Australia will also be Australian maggots first opportunity to hear tracks from Slipknot's seventh full-length album The End, So Far which was released earlier this year.
Produced collaboratively by Joe Baressi (Queens Of The Stone Age, Soundgarden, Avenged Sevenfold, Parkway Drive) and Slipknot, The End, So Far is the follow-up to Slipknot’s 2019 We Are Not Your Kind which marked the band’s third consecutive #1 on the ARIA album chart.
Preceded by three well-received singles The Chapeltown Rag, The Dying Song (Time To Sing) and Yen, which introduced us into the immersive and sonically expansive world of The End, So Far the record sees one of the world’s most popular and deeply enigmatic bands relentlessly charting new ground as they continue to redefine, revitalize, and reimagine the scope of rock music.
To celebrate the widely anticipated release we caught up with Slipknot bass player, Alessandro 'V-Man' Venturella for a discussion about all things The End, So Far, if you haven't already, head on over and give it a read.
