0 SONISPHERE FESTIVAL AT KNEBWORTH HAS BEEN CANCELLED
This year’s Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth has been cancelled. The festival has released the following statement:
It is with very heavy hearts and much regret that we announce the cancellation of Sonisphere Knebworth 2012.
Putting the festival together in what is proving to be a very challenging year was more difficult than we anticipated and we have spent the last few months fighting hard to keep Sonisphere in the calendar. Unfortunately circumstances have dictated that we would be unable to run the festival to a standard that both the artists and that Sonisphere’s audience would rightly expect.
We want to express our deepest regrets to the artists and to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors who worked so hard with us to try and pull off what has proven to be an impossible task and we know how much they share in our disappointment. We also want to send a huge thanks to the Sonisphere fans who stuck by us and we are so sorry that we can’t fulfill what we set out to do.
Ticket holders will automatically receive a full refund direct from their ticket agents.
Team Sonisphere.

Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax — the “Big Four” of 1980s thrash metal — will headline the first night of next year’s U.K. edition of the Sonisphere festival, set to take place July 8-12, 2011 at Knebworth Park. Dave Mustaine: “The “Big Four” concerts are the most important, most exciting event to happen in the history of live concerts in our genre, and perhaps the entire music industry. I am glad to be a part of this enormous celebration of thrash, speed, and good ole heavy metal!” For more information and tickets, visit uk.sonispherefestivals.com.
