Weezer, Airbourne and more for Sonisphere 2011

Diamond Head to play - buy tickets now!

Chris Eustace - 31 January 2011

Rivers and Co will make it their only English festival appearance this year while Airbourne and rising Brighton rockers Architects will also perform that weekend.

Heavy metal pioneers Diamond Head are confirmed to appear on the Friday (8 July), alongside the bands famously inspired by them - the Big Four of Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth and Anthrax.

At last year's Sonisphere Bulgaria, all 17 members took to the stage to cover Diamond Head's ‘Am I Evil’, footage of which can be seen on the Sonisphere website.

Biffy Clyro and Slipknot are the festival's other headliners, with Motorhead, Mastodon and In Flames among other names set to perform, with more still to be announced.

Tickets are on sale now, with a weekend camping ticket priced at £180.

If you buy Sonisphere weekend tickets through Virtual Festivals, you’ll receive a 15% discount on all Sonisphere merchandise in their new online store.

That’s right, you can get your hands on t-shirts, posters, keyrings, lighters and much more for much less!
