With a coveted late-night talk show performance and Grammy nomination under their collective belt, punters will finally get to see Kentucky juggernaut KNOCKED LOOSE in devastating final form.There’s no ceiling for hardcore in 2024 — even an outfit as uncompromising as Knocked Loose can turn up in mainstream-adjacent spaces and win over new fans such as 2023’s viral Coachella and Bonnaroo sets. But there’s a center to what they do that will never change: uncompromising heaviness, both sonically and thematically. What is evolving is their drive to find new ways to convey that heaviness, and add tasteful variety that only highlights their undiminished ferocity.

On latest album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To, KNOCKED LOOSE have honed in on a diverse, cohesive and savagely aggressive album that sums up the massive strides they’ve taken during their decade as a band, and asserts their boundless potential going forward.

As one of heavy music’s most uncompromisingly aggressive acts, this is destined to be an unmissable set with special guests English progressive hardcore HIGH VIS.

Since 2018, HIGH VIS. has polished their sound with shades of post-punk, Brit pop, neo-psychedelia, and even Madchester groove, mapping a middle ground between hooks and fury, melodies and mosh pits. In 2019, they released their debut album No Sense No Feeling and celebrated with 2022's follow up, Blending. From swaggering street punk to jangling indie sneer to heavy alt to shoegazey spoken word, the group’s chemistry transmutes any style to their unique intensity.
