– 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓, the destination festival brand curated by 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓, returns to Australia in 2025.
The music and counterculture experience will hit the East coast of Australia starting on Friday, February 28th at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne, then heads to Brisbane on Sunday, March 2nd at Brisbane Showground before wrapping up in Sydney on Saturday, March 8th at Centennial Park.
Headlined by 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓, the 2025 festival line-up also includes 𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑, 𝐁𝐀𝐁𝐘𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐋, 𝐒𝐋𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐎 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐈𝐋, 𝐏𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐒, 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐌𝐏𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍, 𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐊𝐀𝐑𝐈, 𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐃, 𝐈𝐍 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐊𝐄, 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇, 𝐌𝐈𝐒𝐒 𝐌𝐀𝐘 𝐈, 𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐄𝐃 and 𝐒𝐔𝐍𝐀𝐌𝐈.
Following their monumental performances launching Australia’s first ever 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓 in 2023, 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓 will return down under in 2025 to headline proceedings for this not-to-be-missed rock and heavy music festival.

As always, attendees can expect a performance unlike any other, from a band who only get more thrilling, exciting and cathartic as time goes on. Having released a new record in 2022, 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐸𝑛𝑑, 𝑆𝑜 𝐹𝑎𝑟 (crowned at #1 on the ARIA Albums Chart; their fourth consecutive album to do so), 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓 refuse to rest on past glories and continue to innovate, with fan favorites including as many new songs as older. 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 bleeds through their jaw-dropping live performances.

In 2012, the journey to creating a platform of their own in 𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓, was born out of 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓’s dedication to creating a memorable live experience for audiences around the world. Headline slots at some of the world’s biggest festivals including Download, Wacken, Rock In Rio, Hellfest and more perfectly set 𝐒𝐋𝐈𝐏𝐊𝐍𝐎𝐓 up with the ambition to take things further; building their own festival that not only championed new waves of incredible talent, but enshrined their own status as one of the best bands to do it.”
No strangers to Australian shores, Florida-hailing quartet 𝐀 𝐃𝐀𝐘 𝐓𝐎 𝐑𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐁𝐄𝐑 head to Australia for the first time since 2019.
