The bill for the inaugural Knotfest Australia also includes In Flames, Knocked Loose, Spiritbox, Story of the Year, Bad Omens and Malevolence. Rounding out the local acts on next year’s lineup are Alpha Wolf and Void of Vision. Altogether, it’s a diverse sonic mix, with something to please most heavy music fans.
