Bullet For My Valentine confirmed for Sonisphere

and cancel headlining show at Hammerfest

Wednesday 25th February 2009


Bullet For My Valentine have been added to the Sonisphere line-up.

Bullet For My Valentine
The Welsh metalcore band who started their music career by covering songs by the festival's headliners Metallica are the latest confirmed addition to the line-up for the festival held at Hertfordshire's Knebworth House on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August 2009.

The band have also announced that due to recording commitments, they must cancel their appearance at Hammerfest in April.

Matt Tuck commented, "We are really sorry to not be playing Hammerfest and apologise to fans. Hopefully, playing the very first Sonisphere will compensate. We'll throw everything at it, you have to when you're alongside such amazing bands at such a historic rock venue. We can't wait, it will be a brilliant homecoming."

Weekend tickets are priced at £132.50, or £157.50 with camping. Lockers are priced at £10, and parking is also £10 in advance or £20 on the day. And early arrival camping entry ticket is priced at £10, and tickets for camper vans are priced at £40.

To buy tickets, click here.

The event will have one main arena with a stage at either end. The headliners are Linkin Park, and Metallica, with the already announced Avenged Sevenfold, Machine Head, (for all of the previous acts this is the only outdoor show they are playing in the UK in 2009), Alice in Chains (now back on the line-up), Thin Lizzy, The Sword, Mastodon and Lamb Of God in support. For the line-up details as available, please click here.

The festival will have camping at Knebworth with the campsite open for arrivals from 3pm on Thursday, and checkout at midday on Monday. The event will also offer festival goers a cinema, a fair, market, jugglers, and the usual festival offerings. There will also be a campsite stage with new bands and DJ sets as well. The festival does not have a strict noise curfew, and so entertainment will run until late.

It is advised that the age minimum is 10 years old. If young children do attend it is recommend they wear ear protectors. Any under 14's must be accompanied by an adult ticket holder over 18 years old.
