SONISPHERE 2012 UK: CANCELLED

Promoters for the 2012 SONISPHERE FEST UK, set to take place 7,/6-8, 2012 Knebworth Park,UK have cancelled the festival due to low advance ticket sales. As in North America, Europe is in the throes of an economic recession. THE SONISPHERE 2012 UK fest was set to have featured QUEEN (re union), FAITH NO MORE, MARILYN MANSON and more acts.


FROM SONISPHERE FESITIVAL UK PROMOTERS: It is with very heavy hearts and much regret that we announce the cancellation of Sonisphere Knebworth 2012.Putting the festival together in what is proving to be a very challenging year was more difficult than we anticipated and we have spent the last few months fighting hard to keep Sonisphere in the calendar. Unfortunately circumstances have dictated that we would be unable to run the festival to a standard that both the artists and that Sonisphere’s audience would rightly expect.We want to express our deepest regrets to the artists and to thank all the staff, suppliers and contractors who worked so hard with us to try and pull off what has proven to be an impossible task and we know how much they share in our disappointment. We also want to send a huge thanks to the Sonisphere fans who stuck by us and we are so sorry that we can’t fulfil what we set out to do.Ticket holders will automatically receive a full refund direct from their ticket agents. . Thanks-Stay Metal, Stay Brutal-\m/ -l-
