The mega line-up for Knotfest Brazil 2024 has just been announced!

Taking place at Allianz Parque in São Paulo on October 19 and 20, the two-day fest will feature a pair of unique performances from headliners Slipknot: they’ll not only be celebrating 25 years of their legendary self-titled debut – as they are doing throughout 2024 – but they have also confirmed that their second set will be a “special Iowa show”. Whoa!

Elsewhere, the Saturday includes the likes of Mudvayne, Amon Amarth and Meshuggah, while the Sunday features a supporting cast of sub-headliners Bad Omens, plus Till Lindemann, BABYMETAL, P.O.D. and more.

A message on social media from the festival – translated via Google – promises that this Brazilian edition of Knotfest “will be historic, with more than 20 bands”.
