Linkin Park to Play Knebworth

February 17, 2009 at 12:32 pm (Musical Bands in Sonisphere Festival) (, , , , , , , )

Calling all music fans! Credit cards at the ready. This is something to get VERY excited about. Metallica (James Hetfield, pictured) and Linkin Park are teaming up to play Knebworth as part of a touring music festival.

linkin ParkSonisphere will travel around Europe before finishing off with a two-day rock fest at the legendary Knebworth. Following in the footsteps of Led Zeppelin, Queen, and Oasis, Metallica will take to the stage at the 519-year home of the Lytton family.

Die hard rock fans who have found the line-ups at this summer’s music festivals a little tame will be happy to hear that Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden and the Foo Fighters are also being linked to Sonisphere.

The difference with this particular festival is that promoters plan to offer a “broad church” of rock music. Those of us who strategically plan what band on what stage you need to see at the beginning of a festival need not worry. At Sonisphere there are just two stages. When one act finishes another one starts. Ingenious!
