Slipknot have announced the first ever Knotfest Brazil, which will take place at Sambódromo do Anhembi in São Paulo, on December 19th, 2021. More than just a festival, Knotfest is an event that celebrates all cultural aspects of heavy music.
All these “supergroup”/crossover situations can be either interpreted, as a quick cashgrab or actually an attempt to step out of one’s comfort zone or vanity projects. Some of those have seemed to derail even mega-successful stars careers (skunkworks, 2wo anyone?) but they’re not always that bad… it all sort of depends.
