Following the band's recent conquest at Sick New World in Las Vegas, in addition to their California desert takeover with a pop-up performance at Pappy & Harriett's last week, the Iowan nine of Slipknot have officially commenced their 25th anniversary celebration. Emerging with new masks that pay homage to the original aesthetic from the debut era, along with the iconic red coveralls adorned with barcodes - Slipknot is not only revisiting their most pivotal early days, but continue to steamroll their way into the future.
As such, Slipknot has just confirmed their triumphant homecoming with the announcement of Knotfest Iowa set for September 21st of this year. The confirmation will mark the first time in four years the band will return to Iowa and is being billed as a special one night only 25th anniversary celebration.
Among the artists confirmed to join the festivities, Slipknot has curated a line-up that spans from international heavyweights to skyrocketing sensations all featured on the same bill. Among the top line featured, the inimitable Till Lindemann has been confirmed along one hardcore's biggest breakouts in Knocked Loose.
Among the veterans featured on the bill, hardcore crossover pioneers Hatebreed join the action along with post-hardcore stalwarts Poison the Well and metal's intergalactic renegades in GWAR. Also prominently featured on the bill is a diverse field of heavy music's new emerging class with the likes of Vended, Dying Wish, ZULU, Twin Temple, Holy Wars and Swollen Teeth added to the event.
