Sonisphere UK - Second Headliner Announced


Scottish alternative rock band Biffy Clyro has been confirmed as one of the headlining acts at the Sonisphere music festival in Hertfordshire, England. Slipknot has also been confirmed to perform at Sonisphere this summer, including an exclusive UK performance at Knebworth.

Scots rock heroes Biffy "who the fuck is this band anyway?" Clyro will bring their famously energetic live performance, award-winning rock outs and catchy singalong anthems to Sonisphere for the first time, for an exclusive headlining set on the Saturday night.

The announcement comes hot off the heels of a massive arena tour which ended at a sold out Wembley Arena on Saturday night. With latest album Only Revolutions going platinum in the UK and earning a Mercury Prize nomination for Album of The Year, plus their second UK Festival Award in the bag (for the Virtual Festivals Critics Choice Award in honour of their Glastonbury performance), Biffy Clyro are on a massive trajectory that will ensure their headline set on Knebworth's mighty main stage is an iconic one in their career.

Damn, in 2010 Sonisphere brought Accept, Orphaned Land, Volbeat, the Big 4 of Thrash Metal, Rammstein and Alice in Chains up to my doorstep(a 10 minute tram ride actually) and now they pull this kind of shit..

Wtf?! (Nice avatar, indeed.)
Seriously, how lame is that?

I really hope Sonisphere's promoters won't bring the Biffies up to Sofia.

They probably ran out of epicness from last year.
Might as well not even hold a festival.

I suppose that this band is only about to play in the UK, not the rest of the tour. (Just like Placebo did this year, although I'm actually a huge fan of theirs.)
