As we approach this year’s Knotfest Australia, more sideshow dates have arrived for punters to have the best couple of weeks of their lives.
In case you missed it, headliners Slipknot are playing a one-off sideshow at AEC Arena, Adelaide, on Tuesday, 4 March, with special guests Vended. The show has already sold out. The metal icons will also perform at Auckland’s Spark Arena on Tuesday, 11 March.
Slipknot aren’t the only ones playing sideshows. Last night, tour promoters Destroy All Lines and Knotfest Australia dropped even more headline shows to excite punters.
Like the headliners, A Day To Remember will only play one sideshow at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall on Monday, 3 March. They’ll be joined by Aussie special guests Thornhill and Ocean Grove.
Other acts playing sideshows include BABYMETAL (Brisbane and Sydney), Slaughter To Prevail (Melbourne), Within Temptation (Brisbane and Melbourne), Enter Shikari (Sunshine Coast, Belgrave, and Newcastle), Hatebreed (Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney), Miss May I (Melbourne and Sydney), Vended (Brisbane and Melbourne), Sunami (Melbourne and Sydney), and Luke Severeid, interviewing bands at the festival, will host sideshows in Brisbane, Melbourne, and Sydney. You can find all the dates and venues below.
Knotfest members can access pre-sale tickets on Friday, 24 January, at 9 am local time before an Early Bird pre-sale becomes available at 10 am local time (register here for access). The general sale begins on Tuesday, 28 January, at 10 am local time via the Destroy All Lines website.
