Following a monumental 2025 edition that marked the long-awaited return of the KNOTFEST banner to Mexico that featured performances from Marilyn Mason, Falling in Reverse, Slaughter to Prevail and many more, the 2026 edition has been revealed. 

With a generational assembly of heavy music's most in-demand artists, Bad Omens anchor the 2026 edition with their only Latin American performance of the calendar year. Opposite Bad Omens, iconic groove metal heroes Lamb of God, fresh of the release of their universally acclaimed album Into Oblivion will make their triumphant return to Mexico. Rounding out the top billing, heavy music firebrand Poppy will bring her brand of genre-bending artistry adding to the diversity of KNOTFEST Mexico. 

Underscoring the comprehensive scope of KNOTFEST as a heavy music and cultural curator, the bill will feature two stages stacked with a broad range of artists emphasizing the full spectrum of outsider art. Among the artists confirmed for KNOTFEST MEXICO include appearances from metalcore stalwarts The Ghost Inside, acclaimed extreme music tacticians Blood Incantation as well as UK metallic powerhouse, Sylosis. Emerging aggressors Vana and Versailles have been tapped to open the festival. 

Tickets will be available starting March 23rd at 11am. See the complete line-up for KNOTFEST MEXICO 2026 below. Get tickets - HERE
