With just over a week to go, and an already stellar line up including exclusive headline appearances from IRON MAIDEN and RAMMSTEIN, plus a wealth of musical, comedic and other entertaining talent on offer, SONISPHERE FESTIVAL KNEBWORTH has iced the festival cake with the announcement of a further 20 acts.
On BOHEMIA, current Terrorizer Magazine cover stars ENFORCER will be flying in from Sweden to deliver a set of timeless true heavy metal, with London industrialised metal mob THE DEFILED providing a hard and heavy performance on the Sunday.
The new look JAGERMEISTER stage boasts additions from instrumental stoners KARMA TO BURN, homegrown rockers WINNEBAGO DEAL and industrial metallers OCTOBER FILE on the Friday, plus appearances from Reading thrash-mob MALEFICE and NY Jungle-Punks CEREBRAL BALLZY on Saturday, and Belfast Metalheads SWEET SAVAGE on Sunday.
Over on the RED BULL BEDROOM JAM on Friday, trance rockers YOU AND WHAT ARMY share the stage with Essex screamo mob NEVER MEANS MAYBE. Saturday additions come in the form of Derry grungers NO MEAN CITY, Newcastle prog-metallers THIS IS DEVINE and Belfast rockers STAND UP GUY, with Sunday seeing performances from ex-PLACEBO man Steve Hewitt’s LOVE AMONGST RUIN, epic hardcore mob HEIGHTS, Surrey punk-princesses HEARTS UNDER FIRE, electro-tinged screamo-popsters SACRED BETRAYAL plus the debut UK appearance of French hardcore heavies HEADCHARGER.
As if that’s not enough, the STRONGBOW BOWTIME BAR can confirm some heavyweight additions in the form of Glasgow Death-metallers BLEED FROM WITHIN who play on the Saturday, plus hotly-tipped Norwegian Rock’n'Rollers KVELERTAK on the Sunday.
SONISPHERE takes place at KNEBWORTH HOUSE July 30th – August 1st 2010
