GALLERY: KNOTFEST, MELBOURNE BY MARY BOUKOUVALAS

Ever since Knotfest Australia was announced in late 2022, fans had been champing at the bit to get inside the gates and rock out with their favourite hard rock and metal bands.

Knotfest of course, is metal icons Slipknot’s own self-curated, destination festival brand, held in eight international locations; the US, Japan, Mexico, Finland, Germany, Colombia, Chile and Brazil. Designed as an immersive, unforgettable, ‘dark carnival experience’, the event invites you into Slipknot’s apocalyptic underworld where stunning visuals, fire breathers and nightmarish creatures on stilts set the stage for an intoxicating and memorable weekend of live music.

Last week Knotfest finally hit Australia and the event was an undeniable success. Headlined by SLIPKNOT, the hugely stacked festival line-up included Parkway Drive, Megadeth, Trivium, Northlane, Amon Amarth, In Flames, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, Story Of The Year, Alpha Wolf, Void Of Vision, & Malevolence

Photographer Mary Boukouvalas (What’s My Scene) was at Flemington Racecourse for the Melbourne leg of the festival and captured all of the action. Check out the photo gallery below and see more in the Facebook gallery HERE
