Over 30,000 concert-goers will visit Indianola today for Knotfest, featuring Slipknot, Faith No More, Megadeth, and Tech N9ne among others. Concert Director of Operations Rich Ramos tells KNIA News buses will be routed east of town to help reduce traffic, but despite the public transport options there will be extra cars on the roads.

“Our timespan typically so everyone knows, the heaviest travel will be from 10am to 5pm is going to be the busiest travel time. Then it will slow down, then about 6-7 at night it will die down and be just like normal. We are excited to have it out here and I think it’s going to be a great event.”

Buses will travel from Des Moines through Carlisle and enter the balloon fields on the east side, while car traffic is directed down Highway 65/69.
