IT was perhaps one of the worst kept secrets in the music world for some time, but the truth is now out: Knotfest Australia 2024 in March will be headlined by Pantera and Disturbed.

Ever since the news went out about the festival’s return, rumours abounded that Pantera would be returning to Australia for the first time in 23 years and Disturbed would be joining them as they tour in support of their latest album Divisive.

If that wasn’t enough to get your undivided attention, Lamb of God, Halestorm, The HU, Asking Alexandria, Wage War and Escape the Fate are also on the bill, along with Thy Art is Murder, King Parrot, Skindred, Speed, Windwaker and Brand of Sacrifice, covering a wealth of angles and genres.

Early bird pre-sales are available at this link from 10am local, November 21, with general sales from 9am local, November 23.
