Sonisphere line-up completed

Sonic Boom Six will headline the Red Bull Stage on Sunday, with The Defiled and Black Spiders taking the Jagermeister stage headline slots on Friday and Saturday respectively, as the last raft of acts are announced to complete the line-up for this summer's Sonisphere.

Black Spiders frontman Pete Spiby said, "We're honoured and privileged to be playing Sonisphere again this year, this time headlining the Jager stage! Our relationship with the noble rock audience continues to delight and amaze us. Anyone who is anyone is going to be there and when we go on stage, everyone knows it's going to be one hell of a AAA party and once we see those middle fingers, we'll know that everyone there is there for one reason and one reason only…to join us on our real time musical adventure, kiss the rainbow and make it the event it should be."
