Sonisphere Organizers Cancel Festival


. (Classic Rock) The Sonisphere festival will not go ahead this year, organizers have announced. The event - due to take place at Knebworth in the summer - has been cancelled for 2015 after bosses admitted they'd been unable to sign a bill they believed was "good enough."

The shock announcement came at 6pm on Friday via the festival's official website, Facebook and Twitter accounts. It reads: "Team Sonisphere reluctantly confirm that Sonisphere will not take place in the UK in 2015.

"We've been working hard to get a lineup that we felt was good enough, but also on a weekend which would avoid other events that we know rock fans would want to support.

"Unfortunately our last irons in the fire have just been extinguished and it's clear that we won't be in a position to run the event this year." Read more here.
