Sonisphere 2014
4th - 6th July 2014
Metallica, Limp Bizkit and Deftones were among the artists performing at the giant heavy rock weekender.
This year’s Sonisphere took place at Knebworth in Hertfordshire last weekend (4th - 6th July), featuring headline sets from The Prodigy, Iron Maiden and Metallica, who chose to hand over control of their Sunday night setlist to the fans.
Elsewhere there were performances from Deftones, Limp Bizkit, Band of Skulls, Mastodon, The Bronx, Gallows, Trash Talk, and Hundred Reasons ran through their cult record ‘Ideas Above Our Station’.
