01) 2025’s Knotfest Australia to include Slipknot’s 25th Anniversary Set:

Slipknot are taking the 25th-anniversary celebration of their 1999 debut self-titled album to the other side of the world in 2025 with Knotfest Australia. Set to headline the event, the lineup includes Pantera, Disturbed, Lamb Of God, Halestorm, The HU, Asking Alexandria, Wage War, Escape The Fate, Thy Art Is Murder, Skindred, Speed, WindWaker, Brand Of Sacrifice, and King Parrot.

02) Marilyn Manson announces his return to the stage:

On Friday (8th), Marilyn Manson announced his return to the spotlight amid ongoing legal battles since 2021, when actress Evan Rachel Wood went public with allegations against the shock rocker. Several women have since come forward within the last three years, and some cases appear to remain while others are dismissed or settled. With previous attempts to make a return, this tour announcement has been the biggest yet. The trek may appear surprising for Manson fans as the artist will be supporting Five Finger Death Punch as early as this summer with additional support from Slaughter To Prevail. Tickets go on sale this Friday (15th) at 10:00 AM.
