We have already heard about Metallica's Orion Music Festival where the band will curate the lineup. Slipknot are getting in on the act with their very own festival, Knotfest.
Rolling Stone reports that Slipknot have wanted to put on their own festival for a longtime. Slipknot's Shawn Crahan has revealed that Knotfest will become a regular event and the lineup for this year. The band will be joined by the Deftones, Lamb of God, Deathlok, Serj Tankian, the Urge, Cannibal Corpse and more to create a dark carnival atmosphere incorporating circus big-top tents, pillars of fire, rides, burlesque performers, firebreathers, drum circles made of junkyard cars and graffiti walls. The festival will be held in two locations on August 17th in their home state of Iowa and the other August 18th in Somerset.
