Last year, Slipknot’s Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan discussed plans for Knotfest to come to the UK with NME.
He said: “It definitely will happen but it has to be the right thing,”
He further said: “Right now we do a lot of festivals with a lot of great people and you’ve got to find a time and a zone and it’s got to be right.”

“No matter how many times we come there, it always feels like we can never get enough, nor play ALL the cities we want to. But one thing’s for certain: the audiences are ALWAYS some of the best in the world.”
Slipknot released their critically acclaimed sixth studio album, ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ back in August 2019.
