 Roll over Reading, duck out Download, there's a new rock festival in town! Taking place on August 1 and 2 this summer, Sonisphere will play host to some of music's premiere talent at the UK's spiritual home of rock, Knebworth. Rather than squeezing as many bands as possible onto multiple stages, Sonisphere will feature only bands of the highest calibre performing on two alternate stages, meaning you won’t have to miss any music. Commenting on the new festival, Lars Ulrich of Metallica has said, "We're stoked to be touring England and Europe with Sonisphere... summer festivals in Europe are what Metallica do best. We can't wait to see all of our fans over there." Tickets are available at 9am on Wednesday, February 11 Countries: Holland, Germany, Finland, Sweden, Spain, UK Holland: Metallica, Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Mastodon Germany: Metallica, Die Toten Hosen, In Extremo, Lamb Of God, Mastodon Spain: Metallica, Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Mastodon Catalunya: Metallica, Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Mastodon Sweden: Metallica Finland: Metallica, Linkin Park, Lamb Of God, Mastodon England: Metallica, Linkin Park, Lamb Of God, Mastodon Linkin Park is confirmed for England and Finland, but not any of the others currently. The lineup is different for all of the countries. Source here. The 2009 page is updated with these shows: 25.07.2009 Pori, Finland, Kirjurinluoto, Sonisphere Festival 01.08.2009 Knebworth, England, Knebworth Park, Sonisphere Festival Anyone else have any information?

Updated main post with all the info.
They played 6 UK shows in 2008, and 7 Germany shows. Check your facts again. This is nuts - why is the lineup not the same for all days? lol -------------------- QUOTE Victim of the 2011 Atlanta plot twist!

This is nuts - why is the lineup not the same for all days? lol I think because either Linkin Park and Slipknot don´t want to open to each other... And that makes impossible to have both in the same bill... it´s sad but i think it´s the truth |

I'm actually pretty optimistic that they're gonna play some more shows througout Europe (including Germany
).Why travel all the way to Europe and play only two shows...? This post has been edited by bout2break: Feb 8 2009, 07:41 PM |

I'm sure they will do more than just 2 shows in Europe, lol. That's ridiculous to haul all that bullshit over for just 2 shows. Stay tuned for more headlining shows by them.

by the way LP are playing the saturday knebworth not sunday this is a interview with the guy who runs the festival
What’s the setup? Galbraith: ”We have one main arena with a stage at either end, nothing like stages next to each other like what you see at Reading. Our headliner for Saturday is Linkin Park, and our headliner for Sunday is Metallica, and the two backups are Mastodon and Lamb Of God, and they’re just the shape of what’s to come. The full lineup will include include some really special guests, and some really big surprises.” http://www.metalhammer.co.uk/news/stuartgalbraithexclusive/ -------------------- 15.09.2001 Manchester apollo
