What happened to Knotfest?
Knotfest is Slipknot's own festival brand, held at rotating US and international city stops (including Iowa, Los Angeles, and international editions in Mexico, Japan, and Colombia) rather than as a single annual event. The official Knotfest site currently lists its Los Angeles edition under past festivals, and the official Slipknot site's events page currently shows no upcoming shows or festival dates.
