In a recent interview with BBC 6 Music Taylor said that the trendsetting acts would come from the underground scene and then singled out several bands he thinks have a bright future ahead of them.

“I think the underground is always gonna be healthy. Because that’s where the majority of trendsetters, the cutting-edge artists come from,” said Taylor. “Whether it’s bands like Knocked Loose or…there’s this fantastic band called Ho99o9, which is like hip hop, metal, hardcore: they dabble in so many genres. And they’re so good.”

Taylor also recommended Code Orange for those who are more into “darker-edged stuff,” while adding that Rival Sons and Royal Blood are some of his favorite bands from the last 10 years.

The band’s frontman Corey Taylor said they set a precedent for Knotfest last year. He praised the bands who’ll be joining them on the stage this time around and warned fans to expect the unexpected.

“Knotfest is a showcase where you never know what to expect. This year is no exception. The bands we have represent all corners of our musical world, just like we do. And they’re exciting as hell. I can’t wait to watch and enjoy them along with the rest of the fans,” said Taylor in a statement.

Knotfest is the name of the festival created by Slipknot back in 2012, but they created the concept of the touring roadshow last year, when Volbeat, Gojira, and Behemoth joined them on stage.
