Slipknot are heading back down under next year, and they’re bringing A Day To Remember, BABYMETAL, Within Temptation, Enter Shikari and more with ’em…
Having previously promised that next year’s Knotfest Australia will be part of their 25th anniversary celebrations, Slipknot have now just revealed the line-up.

Tickets go on sale in a week’s time, from 3pm on Wednesday, October 23.
