Californian blues-rockers RIVAL SONS are among the latest bands to be confirmed for this year's UK edition of Sonisphere, which takes place in Knebworth from 8th - 10th July.
RIVAL SONS will be performing alongside an impressive line-up of bands, including the "Big Four" of METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX, plus acts such as WEEZER, MOTORHEAD and more. RIVAL SONS were also recently confirmed for Italy's edition of Sonisphere.
RIVAL SONS guitarist SCOTT HOLIDAY comments:
"We are absolutely honored and excited to be included on this year's Sonisphere... Easily one of the heaviest of festivals. This is a total opportunity for us to play with a ton of bands we really dig that we normally would never get a chance to share a bill with. Bands like: the BIG 4!!! Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth... Rad... Total kings of metal. Motörhead?!! Forget about it! Legendary. We're all really big fans of the Mars Volta too... Looking forward to seeing them.
"This festival will be a real treat following our stint with Judas Priest. We will be sure to bring the metal mayhem to our brand of 'maximum soul, fuzz box, blues-explosion rock n' roll'!"
