Slipknot, the iconic metal band hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, continues to make waves in 2024 with the announcement of Knotfest Iowa, set to take place on September 21 at Water Works Park in Des Moines. This eagerly anticipated event marks Slipknot’s return to their home state after four years and promises to be a special “one night only 25th anniversary celebration.”

Water Works Park holds significant historical value for Slipknot, as it is adjacent to downtown Des Moines and was the site of their performance on the legendary Tattoo the Earth tour back in 2000. Now, nearly two and a half decades later, Slipknot returns to this iconic location to commemorate their quarter-century milestone with a lineup of heavy-hitting acts and a night of unforgettable performances.

Knotfest Iowa boasts an impressive lineup, featuring not only Slipknot but also a diverse array of bands that promise to deliver an electrifying experience for metal fans. Joining Slipknot on stage will be Till Lindemann, Knocked Loose, Hatebreed, Poison The Well, Gwar, Vended, Dying Wish, Zulu, Twin Temple, Holy Wars, Swollen Teeth, Spine, and Dose.

This announcement comes on the heels of Slipknot’s first two shows of 2024, which took place at the intimate Pappy + Harriet’s and the expansive Sick New World festival. These shows marked Slipknot’s debut with new drummer Eloy Casagrande behind the kit, solidifying their lineup for the next chapter of their storied career.

For fans of Slipknot and heavy music alike, Knotfest Iowa represents a homecoming celebration like no other. As Slipknot prepares to unleash their ferocious energy on stage and ignite the night with their signature sound, attendees can expect an evening filled with adrenaline-pumping performances, raw emotion, and a sense of camaraderie that only Slipknot can inspire.

With Knotfest Iowa, Slipknot reaffirms their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands in the metal genre, while also paying homage to their roots and the loyal fan base that has supported them throughout their journey.
