This year Slipknot is celebrating the 25th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, one of the band's and metal's greatest successes. The album reinforced the presence of nu metal in heavy metal and highlighted the need for a heavy sound in the market at the time.
As part of the celebration, Slipknot will come to Brazil with their Knotfest festival, marking the second edition of the event in the country. The performances will take place on October 19th and 20th.
The festival will feature Slipknot as the headliner on both days, with the first night showcasing songs from their 25-year career and the second night featuring the band playing their debut album in its entirety.
Tickets are now on sale at the official Eventim website. The full festival lineup will be announced soon.
