After two days of enthralling rock, metal and the odd bit of dance courtesy of The Prodigy, not to mention hangovers and bangovers courtesy of the Raging Speedhorn VIP set on Saturday night, Rock Sins arrived somewhat groggily at the final day of the return of Sonisphere Knebworth 2014. If you’ve missed the first two…
In his first article for Rock Sins in some time, Nick Holmes rose from his sick bed with one thing on his mind; Metallica.
