Deftones and Frank Turner join Sonisphere bill

AS Sonisphere 2014 gets ever nearer on the horizon, the organisers of the festival have added another draft of acts to the bill including the awesome Deftones.

The band's drummer Abe Cunningham said: "We are absolutely stoked to be part of Sonisphere's return and, of course, to have a chance to once again play a show with Iron Maiden - especially on the hallowed grounds of Knebworth."

Also added to the line-up are Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, along with Reel Big Fish, Protest The Hero, Alestorm, Truckfighters, Kerbdog, Only Crime, Blitz Kids, Itch, Max Raptor and Hounds.

Turner, who answered questions on Iron Maiden on his Celebrity Mastermind appearance earlier this year, said: "I'm super excited to be playing the same stage as the first band I ever fell in love with - Iron Maiden."

Sonisphere 2014 takes place at Knebworth on July 4th to 6th and for more details, visit sonisphere.co.uk
