The Australian siege that is KNOTFEST has added to their arsenal with the announcement that California hardcore champions DRAIN will be joining the festivities. Following historic turnouts in both the Melbourne and Brisbane installments of KNOTFEST Australia, the finale in Sydney set to happen March 8th at Centennial Park in Sydney, will incredibly kick off with opening set from the sensation from Santa Cruz.
Bolstering the already stacked line-up, DRAIN is now featured on the diverse bill that showcases a multi-generational breadth of artists. Curated by Slipknot, the 2025 edition of KNOTFEST Australia touts the likes of A Day to Remember, BABAYMETAL, Slaughter to Prevail, Polaris, Within Temptation, Enter Shikari, Hatebreed, In Hearts Wake, HEALTH, Miss May I, Vended and Sunami.
The band was initially set to perform as part of the New Bloom Fest in Brisbane along with Basement and Balance and Composure. Inclement weather in the form of Cyclone Alfred would force organizers to cancel to ensure everyone's safety. In a swift pivot, DRAIN would confirm they would be joining the KNOTFEST finale in Sydney, taking on the first set of the day and no doubt setting a high bar in what is already one of the most anticipated events of the live calendar year.
