Last month, it was confirmed that Slipknot would be bringing their Knotfest event to the UK for the first time later this year.

The “mind-altering collision of music, art and culture” will take place at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes on August 22, with Corey Taylor and co. playing a headline set on the day.

And although the full lineup has still to be revealed, today it’s been announced that tickets will go on sale from 10am this coming Thursday (January 16) through Live Nation.
