About time one of the most legendary and influential bands of all time make their entry in Knebworth’s guestbook. Motörhead will make their debut appearance at Sönisphere this summer, giving fans their first chance to see songs from the recently released 'The World Is Yours' album in a festival setting. The embodiment of all that is Rock’n’Roll, despite playing what Lemmy describes as “raucous, arrogant, paranoid, speedfreak rock n roll”, Motörhead are a household name the world over, with successes too numerous to count across their 35 year career. Motörhead are more than just a band – Motörhead are a mindset, a belief, a way to live your life!
In addition to Lemmy and co readying to stomp the stage boards at Sonisphere this year, Mastodon return to Knebworth having played at the inaugural Sonisphere back in 2009. Their progressive take on metal has seen them become one of the scene’s biggest names in recent years, with both critics and fans alike heaping high praise on their outstandingly skilled musicianship and songwriting skills. Expect an audio assault from the likes of 'March Of The Fire Ants', 'Blood And Thunder' and 'The Czar: I. Usurper II. Escape III. Martyr IV. Spiral'. Also, with talk of Mastadon currently in the studio, there could be some brand new material ready for unleashing come July.
Another band announced are In Flames. Making their first appearance on these shores since 2009’s Taste Of Chaos tour having broken out of the 90s Swedish Death Metal scene. In Flames have gone on to become one of the country’s biggest musical exports, selling millions of albums around the world, receiving numerous awards and achieving an impressive list of chart positions. Currently working on their next release, the band checked in to say tell Sonisphere fans: “We have been in the studio since October recording our new album and we can’t wait to come out and play the new song live. The UK has always been very good to us and we love coming back so this is something we really look forward to”.
The fourth band revealed in this latest Sonisphere 2011 announcement of confirmed acts are making the long journey over from Down Under, Australia’s Parkway Drive pay their first visit to Sonisphere, bringing with them an arsenal of mosh-inducing metalcore. Consistently delivering fierce and energetic live shows, Parkway Drive have earned a reputation for unforgettable performances, through hard work and heavy touring with the likes of Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through and many more. Hot off the back of a UK tour, the promise of Parkway Drive’s exclusive festival appearance at Sonisphere is one that is bound to excite the fans as much as the band: “Holy crap they’re actually letting us play this thing!!!” shouts vocalist Winston McCall. “Sonisphere 2011!!! I don’t think we can really describe how excited we are to play, and I think Jeff will probably die when Metallica play!”
More bands are set to be announced in the coming weeks, check back to Stereoboard for the latest Sonisphere UK announcements as and when they happen!
