The second reveal sees Alice in Chains, Slayer, Mastodon, Airbourne, Ghost, Karnivool and Gojira added to the bill at Knebworth. This adds to what is looking to be a seriously heavy line-up with Iron Maiden, Metallica and The Prodigy already headlining and potentially giving Download a run for its money.
William DuVall lead singer of Alice in Chains commented: “We're very excited to be playing once again at Sonisphere, particularly as this year has us joining our longtime friends in Metallica. It should be a fun ride for everyone - both on and off the stage.”
