Saxon confirmed for Sonisphere…
And more acts too. See inside for details…
Yup, the classic rock quota is being upped at Sonisphere. After last week’s announcement that Thunder would play their final UK gig at Sonisphere, Saxon have now announced that they’re on the bill too.
In addition to Biff and co, Sonisphere will welcome Alien Ant Farm and will also mark the first UK appearance of Chester Bennington’s side project Dead By Sunrise. Made up of members of industrial rockers Julien-K and led by the Linkin Park frontman, the band are set to release their debut album later this year. Fans at Knebworth will have the opportunity to hear songs for the first time in the UK as the band perform on the Apollo stage on Saturday night as part of Linkin Park’s encore.
Sonisphere will be headlined by Metallica and Linkin Park and will take place on August 1st – 2nd at Knebworth. Also on the bill will be Heaven & Hell, Nine Inch Nails, Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Machine Head, Lamb Of God, Alice In Chains, Mastodon, Anthrax, Airbourne, Thin Lizzy, Corey Taylor and Killing Joke.
