School of Rock Earn the Chance to Perform at Knotfest

School of Rock, the leader in performance-based music education, is partnering with festival at sea pioneer Sixthman and legendary magazine Modern Drummer, to offer students the exclusive opportunity to perform during the inaugural Knotfest At Sea, August 10-14th, hosted by the Grammy nominated, multi-platinum metal band Slipknot as well as appear as a feature in Modern Drummer magazine, the #1 drumming magazine for over 43-years.

School of Rock students will perform multiple times during the four-day Mediterranean voyage on Norwegian Jade sailing from Barcelona, Spain to Naples, Italy, in addition to participating in other fan-band experiential activities. Other artists on the line-up include Anthrax, Behemoth, DevilDriver, Sevendust and more. Modern Drummer will offer prizes for the students as well as exclusive features both online and in print, an opportunity that is only otherwise available to world-famous drummers appearing in the magazine.

“As the leading music education company in the world, School of Rock is always seeking to provide the most aspirational experiences for students. We have afforded our students the opportunity to play on some of the biggest stages – on land and now at sea,” said Rob Price, CEO of School of Rock. “This partnership with Sixthman and Modern Drummer fuels our mission to enrich lives through music.”

“This collaboration with School of Rock supports our mission to tear down walls between fans and bands by creating immersive community-inspired vacation experiences. We are so impressed by the level of talent, passion and commitment we’ve seen in the School of Rock students and couldn’t be more honored to provide a new unique opportunity for them to unleash their creativity and further their musical talents,” said Anthony Diaz, CEO of Sixthman.

“The opportunity to continue collaborating with Sixthman, offering their guests incredible once-in-a-lifetime experiences now combined with School of Rock is a true sign of the power of collaboration, how we can collectively inspire, educate and evolve the music education system for aspiring musicians,” said Modern Drummer Publisher David Frangioni.
