KNOTFEST Rocks Australia with DRAIN Joining the Lineup

In the realm of music festivals, where headbangers unite and the air is electric with anticipation, KNOTFEST stands as a beacon of raw energy and sonic power. The latest addition to this metal extravaganza in Australia comes in the form of DRAIN, the hardcore champions hailing from California.

As the KNOTFEST journey across Australia reaches its climax, with triumphant shows in Melbourne and Brisbane already under their belt, the grand finale in Sydney promises an unforgettable experience on March 8th at Centennial Park. And what better way to kick off this epic event than with the relentless energy of DRAIN from Santa Cruz?

Curated by the iconic Slipknot, KNOTFEST Australia 2025 boasts a lineup that spans generations and genres, catering to the diverse tastes of metal enthusiasts. Alongside A Day to Remember, BABYMETAL, Slaughter to Prevail, Polaris, and other heavyweights, DRAIN adds another layer of intensity to an already stellar roster.

Originally slated to perform at the New Bloom Fest in Brisbane, fate took a turn when Cyclone Alfred disrupted plans, leading to the cancellation of the event. However, true to their hardcore spirit, DRAIN swiftly redirected their path to join the KNOTFEST finale in Sydney, ready to set the stage on fire and raise the bar for live performances.

For those eager to be part of this metal madness, tickets and details for the Sydney leg of KNOTFEST Australia await, promising a night of headbanging and moshing that will resonate in the hearts of all attendees.
