Sonisphere increases capacity for the 2011

Sonisphere organisers have successfully applied for increased capacity for the 2011 event, and are to release more tickets.

Due to space restrictions on the campsite, the increased capacity, of a few thousand does not allow for extra weekend/camping tickets to be made available, but an extra allocation of single day tickets are on sale now. Day tickets are priced at £80.

A three-day non-camping tickets is priced at £145, while full weekend camping tickets start from £165. To buy tickets, click here.

The line-up is now complete, however there's still an array of other late night entertainment, attractions and on-site events to be announced in the coming weeks to go alongside the fairground rides, stalls, DJs, Discos and cinema.

The event has one main arena with a stage at either end of the site, as well as a few smaller stages. The two main outdoor stages, will have around a dozen acts alternating between one stage and another to keep the music continuous, whilst not having two acts playing at the same time.
