Download Festival kicked off the week with news that helped us get through the cold miserable week… now thanks to those lovely people at Sonisphere Festival the weekend has been kicked off to the fantastic news of their first headliner.
SLIPKNOT
Although more headliners will be announced this coming Monday through the festivals website and Twitter
In the official statement from the band they are excited to get out to Europe next summer, “We’re looking forward to spending our summer in Europe. This tour is about us and our fans. It’s about celebrating the life of our brother, Paul and his legacy. The door is neither open nor closed. This tour is about burning down that door. See you this summer.”
Slipknot are definitely one of our favourite bands and we can’t wait to see them at Sonisphere! For the full announcement head over to Sonisphere’s official website – and to celebrate make sure you buy Corey Taylor’s Christmas Single next Monday to get it to Christmas Number 1!!!
Check out when we met Jim Root from Sonisphere to interview him for LickLibrary.com in October here.
Who’s coming?
If the festivals keep it up at this rate summer 2011 is going to be amazing, we’ve got goosebumps already!
