Diesen Sommer wird das ehemalige Knebworth Festival unter dem Namen "Sonisphere" wieder ins Leben gerufen. Die offizielle Bestätigung soll am Montag folgen.
Hier die Meldung dazu:
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.
