Sonisphere Festival Coming Soon

Sonisphere Festival will bring some of rock’s premier talent on August 1st and 2nd, on a weekend camping Festival at the UK’s true home of rock, Knebworth. 60,000 fans will witness titans Linkin Park and one of the biggest rock acts of all time Metallica - headlining at the first ever Sonisphere. Sonisphere Festival opens its doors on the Thursday, and with bands, freak-shows, DJs it is a camping festival all the way.

Metallica, the American heavy metal band, which has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, will headline Sonisphere at six European venues in 2009, with the tour set to be expanded into the Far East and Australasia next year. The only other act confirmed to appear this year is Linkin Park, the American nu-metal band, but the organisers are promising a “broad church” of around a dozen rock groups. Others rumoured to be in the frame for a slot include Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, Muse, the Foo Fighters and the Stereophonics.
