Sonisphere announce Metallica and Iron Maiden

By Chris Marshman

Sonisphere is back and set to make history by announcing Metallica and Iron Maiden their headliners in a first for any UK festival. These will be the only appearances on UK soil for both bands in 2014.

Fans who purchase tickets online will be invited to vote on the set list Metallica will play at the show – giving them the chance to help build their dream set list from 30+ years of Metallica’s material and close to 140 recorded songs to date. Metallica’s traditional 18-song set will include the 17 top voted songs and, as the band did not want to be left out of the fun, they get to vote for the 18th slot, which will be a brand new song! Fans will be able to visit www.metallica.com to see what songs fellow fans are voting for and the results of their specific shows.

The Festival will take place at Knebworth Park from the 4th-6th of July. Tickets go on sale RIGHT NOW and you can pick yours up from this link right here.
