Monster Magnet, Brant Bjork, Sasquatch & Lo-Pan to Play Ozzfest Meets Knotfest Preshow

Posted in Whathaveyou on August 1st, 2017 by JJ Koczan

With the prior announcement that Orange Goblin would open the Main Stage as their only US appearance for 2017 and word that High on Fire, Kyng and Tombs would take part on the Second Stage, Ozzfest Meets Knotfest offers a bit of intrigue beyond the sheer commercial enterprise. The initial PR wire release called it “the biggest metal festival in North America ever,” which simply isn’t true either in scope or the audience it’s likely to bring in, but along with others like Psycho Las Vegas, it is emblematic that the growth of US fest culture doesn’t just mean eight or 12 bands getting on stage the same day. These are genuine events coming together and with underground heavy as a part of that — even a minor part, as with Ozzfest Meets Knotfest — I’m intrigued to find out what the next few years bring.

Today’s kickass news? It’s right there in the headline: Monster MagnetBrant BjorkSasquatch and Lo-Pan are playing a special free preshow for Ozzfest Meets Knotfest campers on Nov. 3 before the fest proper starts on Nov. 4. Forgive me for saying so, but as I see it, that’s a stronger lineup than either day of the fest itself offers on the Main Stage — much as I love Orange Goblin. But then, I’ve never been much for Eighteen Visions. In any case, good for Sasquatch and Lo-Pan particularly. I hope all parties involved kick ass and make a lot of money on t-shirt sales.
