Sonisphere Festival

Knebworth, Hertfordshire

United Kingdom

2009


PREVIEW

 

1st - 2nd August 2009

 

This summer, the people behind the original Monsters of Rock, and the Creator of Download the Unholy Alliance and Defenders Of The Faith are bringing you a brand-new festival…well, six of them to be precise. Knebworth's Sonisphere is a two day camping event on Europe’s first true touring rock festival, a globetrotting summer tour of supercharged rock’n’roll. With events taking place in the UK, the Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Sweden and Finland, Sonisphere is set to be a continent-wide celebration of energy, volume, and everything we love about rock music. In 1974, Knebworth added a few guitars and drums and a few thousand watts of amplification to that humble pen. Since then over 2 million rock lovers have been regularly coming to the Hertfordshire home.

Knebworth, Hertfordshire

The last 30 years has brought us all time classic concerts. Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Beath Boys, Devo, Oasis, Frank Zappa, Chuck Berry, Deep Purple, and the last every original line-up shows for both Queen and Led Zeppelin.

On August 1-2, Sonisphere will descend upon the legendary Knebworth Park – the home of rock that’s seen acts like Led Zeppelin and Oasis cement their place in musical history with concerts of epic proportions. Unique among the Sonisphere festivals, the UK dates will be a 2-day full-camping festival, making it one of the biggest single events ever seen at the historic site.

With two stages running at alternate times, you won’t miss a single act on the bill – at Sonisphere there’s simply no such thing as a schedule clash. We are really excited to have the mighty Metallica and Linkin Park heading up the inaugural Sonisphere, and with Lamb of God and Mastodon being just the tip of the line-up iceberg to be announced so far, Sonisphere is going to be the talked-about festival of 2009.
