Knotfest 2012 Council Bluffs Review & Photos

Knotfest was a massive success yesterday in Council Bluffs.  The inaugural heavy metal music festival was the brainchild of the hugely popular band Slipknot and brought thousands of fans from all over the country.  Bands included Slipknot, Deftones, Lamb Of God, Machine Head, Serj Tankian, The Urge, Prong, and Dirtfedd.

Arguably, the highlight of the festival, was the return of Lamb of God, who’s lead singer Randy Blythe was recently released from a Czechoslovakian prison.  Last night’s show was the band’s first in months, and were recently added back to the lineup.  Machinehead (who was set to replace Lamb of God) lost power during the end of their show.  Slipknot ended the night with an impressive show as always.

Knotfest continues on to Minnesota tonight.  We hope after yesterday’s success, the Des Moines band decided to bring Slipknot back to the metro every year.  What did you think of the show?  Sound off in the comments below!
