Knotfest At Sea reveal lineup

The lineup for the inaugural Knotfest At Sea has been announced!

After news broke in November last year that Knotfest would be hitting the high seas in August this year, now, the first batch of bands for the inaugural voyage have been revealed!

As well as two headline sets from SLIPKNOT, the cruise will feature a killer line-up of performances from ANTHRAX, BEHEMOTH, DEVILDRIVER, SEVENDUST, SKINDRED, HO99O9, HIGHER POWER and SLEEP TOKEN with more to be announced in due course.

Speaking on joining the first ever Knotfest At Sea, BEHEMOTH frontman Nergal says, “maggots and legions! Our momentous tour with SLIPKNOT comes to an end in a few days and it’s been our biggest in Europe to date! But I’m beyond excited that our comradeship with SLIPKNOT ain’t over yet… for we’re teaming up with them again for Knotfest At Sea! We look forward to feasting again this Summer!” DEVILDRIVER frontman Dez Fafara adds, DEVILDRIVER is extremely honored to be asked to play the first Knotfest At Sea cruise! We cannot wait to sail the high seas together with SLIPKNOT and this killer line-up of bands. So raise the Skull & Crossbones and prepare for a party at sea.”
