CHOP SUEY & SLIP-NOT CELEBRATE 25 YEARS OF TOXICITY & IOWA THIS MAY
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 members of bands such as DRAGONFORCE / ANTI-NOWHERE LEAGUE / SINSAENUM / TIGERTAILZ then you at least know the pedigree is there.
The UK's #1 tribute to SYSTEM OF A DOWN , CHOP SUEY, have been mesmerising audiences all over the world, travelling from France to Romania, Croatia to Germany and everything in between and selling out venues everywhere. Their live show is unrivalled in the tribute world, with every performance paying respect not only to SOAD but also their own musical personas, ensuring an experience as close to the real thing as possible.
And with KNOTFEST not returning to Australia until 2027, Slip-NOT have cleared a 10-day window in their schedules to 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.
Refusing to be Left Behind, Slip-NOT are Surfacing from the Disasterpiece that this world is becoming, embracing the Duality and Psychosocial elements of society, declaring All Hope Is Gone and vowing to Killpop at every turn.
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.
CHOP SUEY are returning after a successful tour in 2020 that spawned at least a dozen love children, while Slip-NOT and THE VIOLENT INZIDENT are making their debut appearances.
And what would an Australian tour be without an Aussie band opening each night? Bloody criminal, that's what!
So, please welcome Brisbane's rising metal outfit ENGRAVED, who will be warming the crowds up every night with their high energy brand of nu-metal infused chaos.
