The lineup for the Sydney leg of Knotfest Australia just got even mightier, with the addition of Santa Cruz hardcore punks Drain. The California party-starters will be opening up proceedings at Centennial Park this Saturday, 8th March.
Drain are in the country for New Bloom Fest 2025, the second annual East Coast-roaming mini-festival of punk, hardcore and alternative mayhem, as well as their own headline shows on the Sunshine Coast and in Hobart. Sadly, due to the looming threat of Cyclone Alfred, the Brisbane leg of New Bloom Fest this weekend has had to be cancelled. But it means for Sydney punters at Knotfest are getting more headbang-for their buck.
DRAIN – ‘Good Good Things’
Drain join a huge lineup that features headliners and festival figurheads Slipknot, US melodic metalcore icons A Day To Remember, Japenese Kawaii-core juggernauts BABYMETAL, Dutch symphonic metallers Within Temptation and loads more.
Drain will hit the stage at Knotfest at 11am to get the party started.
