What is it?

From the creators of Monsters Of Rock and Download Festivals a new rock festival is set to hit the UK this summer - Sonisphere. Taking place at Knebworth House, Sonisphere is the UK leg of a massive European Festival tour taking in Holland, Spain, Germany, Sweden and Finland this summer. With legendary headliners Metallica topping the bill alongside Linkin Park, fans can expect a new approach to seeing bands at Sonisphere as there will be two alternate stages meaning you can see all the bands rather than having to miss the bands you love. Alongside the incredible line-up, Sonisphere will also offer up stalls, fun fairs, jugglers, fire eaters and more full-on rock debauchery than you can shake a heavy metal stick at. 60,000 fans are expected to attend the first ever Sonisphere this July so make sure you get your ticket now.
