Organisers of the Sonisphere festival have announced there will be no festival in the UK this year.

The news came via a statement on the event's official website citing the fact they can't find a line-up they deem 'good enough' this year.

The full statement reads:

Sonisphere reluctantly confirm that Sonisphere will not take place in the UK in 2015. We’ve been working hard to get a line-up that we felt was good enough but also on a weekend which would avoid other events that we know rock fans would want to support.

Unfortunately our last irons in the fire have just been extinguished and it’s clear that we won’t be in a position to run the event this year.

We’ve said in the past that Sonisphere will only go ahead if we feel it is going to be good enough and that hasn’t changed.

We hope all rock fans have a great summer with all the festivals and concerts already in the calendar and we plan to see you all in 2016.

The hard rock festival has been running since 2009 and has seen acts like Metallica, Alice In Chains, Mötley Crüe, Slayer and Megadeth performing. 

Let's hope it returns bigger and better next year.
