Slipknot confirm Knotfest Japan date for 2016

Slipknot have launched a trailer for the second edition of their Knotfest Japan event.

It’s set to take place on the weekend of November 5-6, at Makuhari Messe, near Tokyo, with Corey Taylor and co headlining both nights.

Taylor says in the trailer: “We’re looking forward to seeing you for the second annual Knotfest Japan. We’ll be bringing a bunch of our friends with us, so stay tuned and we’ll see you there.”

Full details will be revealed in due course via the Knotfest Japan website. Slipknot launch a North American tour with Marilyn Manson and Of Mice & Men in June.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
