Marilyn Manson To Headline Knotfest Mexico 2025


The first Knotfest Mexico in the region since 2019 will feature Marilyn Manson and Falling In Reverse at the top of the bill, which will also feature five other heavy bands, including Slaughter to Prevail and Shinedown.

The festival will take place at Explanada del Estadio Banorte in Monterrey, Mexico on December 6th 2025.
