Sonisphere 2014 Lineup Has METALLICA, IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER and more

So as usual, audiences across the Atlantic get another awesome festival package. The line-up for this year's Sonisphere UK is looking pretty fantastic with some of the biggest names in hard rock and metal(…and The Prodigy apparently).

So for those of you living in the UK or lucky enough to be visiting anytime on the 4th-6th of July, check out the sweet repertoire of bands slated for the show at Knebworth Park:

The Prodigy
Iron Maiden
Metallica
Alice in Chains
Slayer
Mastodon
Airbourne
Ghost
Gojira
Karnivool

With Slayer, Metallica, and Mastodon working on their latest albums, perhaps this show will be a great opportunity to preview some new stuff! Seeing bands like Iron Maiden and Alice in Chains on the same show never hurts either, as both put on incredible live shows. And though there's nothing wrong with having these older bands play, it's nice to have Ghost and Gojira to make sure it's not purely a "legacy show".

(Though part of me can't help wondering what big festival promoters will do to draw mass-audiences once the older bands start going away)

Anyway, it's looking to be an awesome weekend at Sonisphere this year, so run over to the official website for more details. Try not to start any fires while you're at it.
