Bizarre And Belladonna For Sonisphere

• 12th May 2010

SONISPHERE announced a unique collaboration with BIZARRE, the world’s biggest alternative lifestyle and culture magazine. As curators of the Bohemia tent on Friday 30th July, BIZARRE will bring their unique brand of the weird, decadent and downright freaky to Knebworth. For this one night only the tent will be transformed into a crazy fantastical world where anything can happen. One thing can be guaranteed; with rock and metal bands, amazing sideshow acts, outrageous DJs and a specially designed interior, the Bohemia tent is going to be wild. You don’t want to miss that.

One of the most exciting pieces of news to emerge is that JOEY BELLADONNA will be joining ANTHRAX on stage at SONISPHERE this summer – including all the BIG FOUR shows in Europe and of course at KNEBWORTH.
The legendary frontman explains: “I had been in touch with Charlie and Frank, then I got a call from their manager who said that everyone wanted me back in the band. I thought, 'are you guys for real? You want me up there, fronting the band like it was before?' I was thrilled. We've already started to reconnect with the old ways of having conversations. Everything is easy going and feels really good.”

SONISPHERE FESTIVAL KNEBWORTH is also delighted to announce a partnership with UK music streaming company we7 who will provide everyone in possession of a ticket with a free, two week Premium+ subscription, giving them access to millions of free tracks and albums on the service via the web or iPhone, on demand and without any adverts.
