Set Times Revealed For Knotfest Australia 2024

The 2024 edition of Knotfest Australia kicks off in just under a month, and with the hype ramping up for the country’s biggest touring metal festival, organisers have unveiled the schedule for set times.

All three dates of the festival follow the same format: 30-minute sets from King Parrot, Brand Of Sacrifice, Windwaker, Speed and Skindred, then 35-minute sets for Escape The Fate and Thy Art Is Murder, 40 minutes for Wage War, 45 for Asking Alexandria, 50 for The Hu, then an hour each for Halestorm (notably the only band on the lineup to feature a non-male performer) and Lamb Of God.

The festival’s two exclusive acts – Disturbed and headliners Pantera – will make the most of their billings with extended sets: Disturbed will play for 75 minutes, and Pantera will play for 80.

As announced last November, this year’s Knotfest Australia tour will kick off at Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne (Naarm) on Thursday March 21, before hitting Centennial Park in Sydney (Eora) on Saturday March 23, and finally Brisbane Showgrounds (Meanjin) on Sunday March 24. Tickets are on sale now – find them here.

Last month, Knotfest organisers announced a slew of sideshows for this year’s roster, including exclusive Adelaide (Kaurna) shows for Pantera and Disturbed, as well as smaller gigs along the east coast for Lamb Of God, Halestorm, The Hu, Asking Alexandria and Wage War.
