With just over a week until Sonisphere grabs the attention of rock and metal fans the world over, the stage times for this summer’s Knebworth festival have been announced.
And a number of new acts have emerged as last-minute additions to an already stellar bill – including one of the genre’s most consummate performers in the shape of Ginger Wildheart.
rushonrock will be following up its in-depth coverage of Download with a series of special reports from Sonisphere courtesy of our man Calum Robson. But if you’re going to be there then start planning your festival itinerary now!
