The second American Knotfest, which was announced earlier this year, isn’t until the end of October, but things appear to be going pretty well for it. Things have to be for them to have added a fifth stage. Fear Factory, Napalm Death, Satyricon, Amen, Otep, Prong, Immolation, Attika 7 have been added to the festival on the Extreme Stage 005 powered by Kinetik Power and Ernie Ball. You’re probably wondering why you’re already hearing about Stage 005 when there hasn’t even been a Stage 004 announced yet. So were we, but the press release we got helpfully informs us that an announcement about Stage 004 will happen in the coming weeks, presumably as soon as they can line up a sponsor to have the stage named after them. In the meantime, the Festival has announced the lineup for the stages that exist:
