Slipknot To Stream Their Sonisphere Set Live

• 8th Jul 2011

Slipknot have announced that they are to broadcast their Knebworth performance at Sonisphere live online this weekend via their official website – slipknot1.com.

The webcasting of Slipknot's Sunday night headline set will also be broadcast on sonishperefestivals.com, and is sure to be an emotion occasion – with it being the band's first UK performance since the passing of founding member Paul Gray.

The band commented on the upcoming performance: “England has always been a special place for this band from the very beginning.  We can’t think of a better way to culminate our celebration of Paul’s life than to share it with the Maggots at Knebworth and the millions more watching around the world.  This is not to be missed.”

Says festival producer Stuart Galbraith: “This is the first time Sonisphere Festival has been transmitted live across the web and represents yet another major stride in its commitment to harnessing the power of the internet to engage with the rock audience at large across the planet. Given that this is going to be such an important event for Slipknot fans the world over, we felt it only right to allow them all to share in what is set to be a historic experience, wherever they are.”
