We all know some Rock & Metal concerts can go extremely wrong when you mix disappointment with alcohol & fire.

Yesterday (30th November 2019) Knotfest Mexico announced that both Evanescence & Slipknot will not be playing at the festival due to broken barriers. It is said to be a health & safety issue. (Evanescence UK Tour View Dates Here)

Slipknot & Evanescence released apologies on both Twitter & Instagram:
