Knotfest Brazil 2024: Meet the bands that will be playing at the festival.

Knotfest Brazil 2024 will take place on October 19th and 20th at Allianz Parque in São Paulo.

The second edition comes with two new features: in celebration of their 25-year career, Slipknot has prepared a different presentation with a unique and unmissable set for each day, meaning the group will headline both days of the festival. The second new feature is that this will be the first time drummer Eloy Casagrande performs with Slipknot in Brazil.

Tickets are available on the official Eventim website .

The lineup features 21 artists, and in preparation for the event, Wikimetal presents them all here. Check it out:

The American band Mudwayne is coming to Brazil for the first time after achieving great success in the late 90s in the underground scene.

Bad Omens (20/10)

Another debut on Brazilian soil is that of the band Bad Omens, which has been quite successful internationally. Formed in 2015, the group brings a metalcore sound, which many say is a mix of Bring Me the Horizon and Periphery .

Basement Rats (10/19)

Already a well-established band in Brazil, João Gordo and company were and still are part of the Brazilian punk scene and are a great example and influence for other groups in the genre.
