Nameless Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen, it seems we have the first 2009 tour dates. Thrash Hits reports that Metallica and Linkin Park are booked to headline a new two-day festival at Knebworth (UK) this summer. They said that LP will headline the second day and added that the festival is going to be touring Europe, visiting possibly six countries across Europe. Official announcement is apparently going to be made at 10am on Monday. The dates of either 01-02 or 08-09 August have been penciled in. Sonisphere is going to be touring Europe. This would back up claims made by a Finnish newspaper that a Metallica/Linkin Park headlined festival will be taking place this summer in the Finnish city of Pori." We have to wait for the official confirmation, but if it's true, this means a 2009 European Tour. The third band that will join Metallica and Linkin Park is Lamb Of God. Other rumored bands include: Alice In Chains, Anthrax, Machine Head, Nine Inch Nails, Mastodon, Slipknot, and Pendulum. Apparently there are 11 total acts that will play the festival. Awesome! Thanks to LPTimes for the news. Edited February 6, 2009 by Hahninator
linkinmetalfanatic Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 dude, this has already been said in the Finland tour thread....no point in making another one

linkinmetalfanatic Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 haha its alright, probably best we have a new thread for this anyway, people are more likely to view it with that title

LPxDC Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 lol watch this be the 2 day PR festival Chaz was talking about haha. but im pretty sure Tallica would play night 2 but we will see. hmm this is interesting stuff
hahninator Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 No, don't flame this guy. What we had before was a rumor, and even though this builds on it, it's unlikely that all of this is going to come out as false. Sweet, we have some 2009 tour dates.

Confirmation is on the 10th of February... 5 more days until it's official.

But this is a news of a different show, i think it have to be posted on the home :\ April had to post it here, not in the Finland thread Awww sorry, you're right! I thought it was about Finland. So what do we have - two festivals or only one will be confirmed?
[NiKmaN] Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Come on, Germany, Rock am Ring/Hurricane or something (x Whatcha think BC? ;D
hahninator Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Awww sorry, you're right! I thought it was about Finland. So what do we have - two festivals or only one will be confirmed? It's a traveling festival - England and Finland are being discussed as two of the places it's going to. So it's more than one location but the same lineup, etc.
April Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 It's a traveling festival - England and Finland are being discussed as two of the places it's going to. So it's more than one location but the same lineup, etc. Okey, now it's clear!
thesungoesdown Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Hopefully they debut some new material. A song or 2, even a bside would be nice similar to Qwerty in the summer sonic show in Japan a few years ago.
sian18 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) if you check out knenworth house web site (were the festival will be held) http://www.knebworthhouse.com/events/events.html and look at the calender on the riight it says SUMMER SEASON 2009 OPEN DATES (orange indicates house and park are open) and the 1st 2 3rd of august the place is closed to the public and I am certain Lamb of God are playing. In the rules of the competition this appears a little way down under the prizes title... "Two (2) tickets to attend a rock festival in Knebworth, Hertfordshire, UK featuring Lamb of God scheduled to take place in August 2009" Couldn't really ask for any better proof. I would probably call it a self confirmation. http://www.lamb-of-god.com/officialrules/ Edited February 5, 2009 by sian18
LPPRJKT4 Posted February 5, 2009 Posted February 5, 2009 Well we'll know if this is true in 5 days but if it is WOOT!!! Hopefully LP's set is more metal related since this is Metallica. And the rest of the lineup is freakin amazing! NIN, Slipknot, Lamb of G-d, Pendulum!!!
hahninator Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Good enough for me! Lamb Of God is confirmed! Fuck yeah this is awesome. I bet this will be a godly tour, lol. I've never heard of a traveling 3 day festival - that's insane. It's like a traveling Rock am Ring with all your favorite bands. Wow.
JZLP-Benningstrong Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 good news i wonder how they will handle Linkin Park's tour and Chester's album.. maybe there wont be tours for DBS?
LPxDC Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 good news i wonder how they will handle Linkin Park's tour and Chester's album.. maybe there wont be tours for DBS? chester has already confirmed there will be a tour for DBS
BrandonR24 Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Heck Yes! Freakin nice tour lineup so far too. I hope to hear some new LP to get me and im sure the LP fanbase up again!
LPPanther Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 What a badass lineup. Lamb of God - amazing. Nine Inch Nails - one of my top 5 bands. still haven't seen them live. Mastodon - saw them last summer, amazing, AMAZING band. Slipknot - saw them at the same show as Mastodon, awesome show, great band Machine Head - saw them at the same show as the above 2, had never heard them before, LOVED their show. Pendulum - never heard of them lol plus Metallica and LP? can't beat either one of their shows.
