Knotfest returned to Sydney in March 2025, this time headlined by namesakes Slipknot.
The lineup was as massive as you would expect - A Day To Remember put on a crowd interaction heavy set of favourites, Babymetal entertained the masses, home town hero's Polaris blew the day's pyro budget while Russian deathcore group Slaughter To Prevail were crowd favourites.
Earlier in the day US punks Drain were last minute openers, followed by Sunami, Byron Bay metalcorers In Hearts Wake were joined by backup dancers and Jamie from Polaris, Enter Shikari played a favourite heavy set and Within Temptation played a set of symphonic metal. The day was closed by Slipknot who put on a massive set that spanned their career ensuring every punter left with a smile on their face.
