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.
Marilyn Manson and Falling In Reverse recently collaborated with the release of the song "God Is A Weapon" on May 20th, which is widely considered one of the best songs released in 2025 so far, and as of today the music video has over 13 million views on YouTube. If Marilyn Manson joins Falling In Reverse onstage for a live performance of this song, it will surely be among the highlights of the festival.
The festival will take place at Explanada del Estadio Banorte in Monterrey, Mexico on December 6th 2025.
Tickets have been on sale since July 3rd.
