Knotfest 2025 Announce Sideshows! – Spotlight Report

KNOTFEST, the destination festival brand curated by SLIPKNOT, is returning to Australia this year, and today we are thrilled to announce a horde of headline sideshows from some of the artists on the festival lineup.

In addition to their entirely sold out Adelaide headline sideshow, SLIPKNOT will also headline in Auckland on Tuesday 11 March, while A DAY TO REMEMBER are set to perform a one and only Australian headline show in Brisbane on Monday 3 March.

BABYMETAL, SLAUGHTER TO PREVAIL, WITHIN TEMPTATION, ENTER SHIKARI, HATEBREED, MISS MAY I, VENDED and SUNAMI will also perform their own headline sideshows this year, with the hill-hiking, metal music-loving stand up comic LUKE SEVEREID also set to head down under all the way from Seattle as part of KNOTFEST, interviewing bands at the festival and also performing his own sideshows.
