Knotfest Reveals More Bands
As if two nights of Slipknot & friends aren’t enough to satisfy your inner metal cravings, Knotfest ups the ante with a slew of sonic celebrators. Details after the jump.
Happening Oct. 24-26 near San Bernardino at San Manuel Amphitheatre and Campgrounds in Devore, Calif., Knotfest’s already announced lineup features Danzig, Five Finger Death Punch, Volbeat, Of Mice & Men, Anthrax and other bone-shaking bands.
