About this event

Chop Suey (SOAD tribute), Slip-Not (Slipknot tribute), The Violent Inzident

THURS MAY 28th

How do you know when a tribute act can cut the grade? Whether musically, they can even match the intensity and musicality of the bands they are paying homage to? Well, you can’t really until you have seen them live, but when you factor in that the tribute act features current and former members of bands such as DRAGONFORCE, ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE, SINSAENUM, and BREED 77, then you at least know the pedigree is there.

The UK’s #1 tribute to SYSTEM OF A DOWN – CHOP SUEY have been mesmerizing audiences all over the world, travelling through France, Austria, Wales, UK and Europe over the last 18 months to sold-out crowds. And with KNOTFEST choosing to leave Australian fans unfulfilled in 2026, Slip-NOT have cleared a 10-day window in their busy life schedules to jump on the camel train and head Down Under to fill the void! The newer of the two star-studded tribute acts, Slip-NOT, also refuse to play baby brother, and have quickly established themselves as a class act in their own right. Rounding out the trifecta is THE VIOLENT INZIDENT, one of the most entertaining and fun bands you have never seen.

Focussing on (and destroying) nu metal in its purest form, THE VIOLENT INZIDENT promise to make you take everything you know about bands like LIMP BIZKIT and KORN and churn it through the blender of life to create something insanely different but infinitely better. All three bands are headed to Australia in May 2026 and promise – in the words of another great tribute act POISON – Nothin’ But A Good Time.
