Knotfest is the music and counterculture experience created by the multi-platinum sonic phenomenon Slipknot. The annual roadshow travels the length and breadth of the US, with the 2022 iteration beginning in March, and featuring, In This Moment, and, Jinjer, who were replaced by Wage War, while the second leg hosted Cypress Hill and Ho99o9. Now, a new third leg has been added beginning in September. Last November, Slipknot released the song, “The Chapeltown Rag,” marking their first new music since 2019, when they dropped their most recent album, We Are Not Your Kind. The band have frequently teased the new album during the Roadshow and as it is set to drop sometime over the summer, this third leg is likely to feature that new album quite heavily.
