The Knotfest Australia 2025 lineup has landed and boy oh boy is it a goodie. We already knew Slipknot would be headlining to commemorate their 25th anniversary, but the rest of the bill has come as a surprise, with several interesting inclusions.
Florida’s A Day To Remember return to our shores for the first time since 2019 and are joined by Japanese kawaii metal trailblazers BABYMETAL, Russian deathcore behemoths Slaughter To Prevail and Sydney heavy metal beasts Polaris.
If that’s not enough to get you excited, Knotfest Australia will feature electrifying sets from Within Temptation – making their first-ever trip Down Under – British rockers Enter Shikari, heavy metal beasts Hatebreed (celebrating their 30th anniversary) and Byron Bay metalcore lads In Hearts Wake.
Also appearing at Knotfest Australia 2025 are HEALTH, Miss May I, Vended and Sunami.
The third edition of the Australian leg of the festival kicks off in Melbourne at Flemington Racecourse on Friday, February 28, and continues in Brisbane at the Brisbane Showgrounds on Sunday, March 2 and Sydney’s Centennial Park on Saturday, March 8.
