Metal giants Metallica and Iron Maiden are set to headline this year’s Sonisphere festival.
The festival which will take place from 4th-6th July, 2014 at Knebworth Park will be each of the band’s only UK festival appearance of the summer.
The announcement sees the return of Sonisphere festival in the UK, after it was cancelled in 2012 and 2013.
On the announcement, Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson said, “We all grew up in England well aware of the importance of the legendary concerts at Knebworth, and scarily it all seems quite recent! Without being clichéd, it really is an honor and privilege to return to play there with the purpose of celebrating some of the finest moments in British rock history from inspirational bands like Pink Floyd, The Who, Zeppelin, The Stones and Genesis.”
Metallica will be performing their new show, Metallica by Request, where fans can vote for the setlist.
