Slipknot's Knotfest is just under a month away, taking place October 24-26 destination festival held at San Manuel Amphitheater & Campgrounds in San Bernardino, CA and today, the band revealed some more info about what to expect on the festival grounds.
Besides all the insane bands performing, there will be an onsite tattoo parlor, carnival games, a Slipknot museum, live MMA fighting in the "Thunderdome," fire shows, carnival rides, zip lines, a motorcross show and the scent of Knotfest…
Hold on, what the hell is the scent of Knotfest?
KNOTFEST has its own aroma that will infest your brain, body and clothes for days after the festival is over. Personally picked by Slipknot themselves, the smell of KNOTFEST will permeate the festival grounds. Oil drums will be filled with camel shit and oil, set aflame to last the entire festival.
Are they serious or are they trolling us? I'm not sure I'd be able to get through a three day festival which smells like camel-dung. I guess that's metal? You know what won't be metal? Coming into work the following Monday literally smelling like shit. Then again, I guess it will give new meaning to one of their most famous songs.
