Metallica And Linkin Park To Headline New Sonisphere Festival

Metallica and Linkin Park are to headline a new rock festival in the UK, named Sonisphere.
The two-day event comes from the creators of the Download and Monsters of Rock festivals and will be held at Knebworth on August 1st and 2nd.
60,000 rock lovers will attend and the huge event will host two stages with differing performance times - meaning fans won't have to choose watching one band over the other.
Also set to join the two headliners are Lamb Of God and Mastadon. More are to be announced in the coming months.
Besides Knebworth, Sonisphere will also hit other European countries: Holland, Germany, Spain, Finland and Sweden.
Lars Ulrich of Metallica says: "We're stoked to be touring England and Europe with Sonisphere. Summer festivals in Europe are what Metallica do best. We can't wait to see all of our fans over there."
