Slipknot Reveals Knotfest Argentina and Chile Lineups; See Details

Slipknot is packing its bags—and masks—for another jaunt through South America, this time with Brazilian powerhouse drummer Eloy Casagrande on the roster. The Knotfest machine is revving up for Argentina and Chile, hot on the heels of announcing Knotfest Brazil. Slipknot isn’t cutting corners here; they’ll deliver two sets in Brazil, including a 25th-anniversary nod to their self-titled debut and a so-called special Iowa show. It’s like they’re throwing a birthday bash for their own chaos.

As for Argentina and Chile, the lineups carry that signature Slipknot flair—a mix of nu-metal nostalgia and modern metal darlings. Metal Injection spilled the goods, revealing that the Chile lineup is essentially Argentina’s, with a few more bands tacked on for flair. Expect the usual round of internet meltdowns over acts like BABYMETAL and Poppy, with the predictable “it’s not about gender” disclaimers that fool no one.

Here’s what the lineups look like:

KNOTFEST ARGENTINA

• Slipknot (25th Anniversary Set)
• Amon Amarth
• Meshuggah
• BABYMETAL

KNOTFEST CHILE

• Slipknot (25th Anniversary Set)
• Disturbed
• Mudvayne

Final Thoughts? Sure.

If Knotfest has taught us anything, it’s that Slipknot knows how to balance brutality with spectacle. It doesn’t matter if it’s old-school metalheads, TikTok trend chasers, or folks who just want to scream along to “Wait and Bleed,” the Knotfest juggernaut has a way of pulling everyone in. Sure there’ll be grumbling about certain acts on the bill, but isn’t that part of the tradition? Let the gatekeepers clutch their pearls while the rest of us grab our tickets.

South America, get ready. It’s going to be loud, messy, and a whole lot of fun.
