HIM and Anthrax added to Sonisphere line-up

THE powers that be have added another 16 bands to the bill for this year's Sonisphere festival - including a UK-exclusive performance from Finnish metallers HIM.

And bass player Mige is really pepped for the show. He said: "It'll be fun and possibly out of control, you'll see. There will be smoke, lights and psychedelia. Sweat and zealotry. Men will cry. It's going to be fucking emotionado."

Thrash legends Anthrax have also announced they will be playing an additional set at the festival in July.

Also added to the bill are Comeback Kid, Sweet Savage, October File, Eureka Machines, The Bots, Straight Lines, Zico Chain, Black Dogs, Love Zombies and Stormzone.

 
Brighton math rockers Shrine are also excited about signing up. They said: "We are so stoked that we will be playing this years Sonisphere Festival along with some of our favourite bands!”

New Zealand's Rival State, The Wild Lies, The Raven Age and Empire Kill make up the new actors on the bill.

The festival takes place at Knebworth Park on July 4th to 6th with The Prodigy, Iron Maiden and Metallica headlining with the likes of Limp Bizkit, Deftones and Alice In Chains in support.
