Sonisphere 2009

Sonisphere Knebworth is so close you can count down the days with your fingers (if you still have them all), but that hasn't stopped the organisers from throwing a few more treats into the mix. The first question on most Sonisphere ticket holders minds is - Will Anthrax pull out?

Well, we can safely inform you that Anthrax will be at Knebworth to bring the noise and get the mosh going. What's more, they will be performing with long time ex-vocalist John Bush. The band released the following statement:

"As announced last week, thrash legends Anthrax regretfully cancelled the first three dates on the second leg of their European tour due to new vocalist 's unexpected illness. An additional seven European dates are also cancelled, those scheduled from July 22 to July 30. Anthrax is thrilled to announce that they will play the August 1 Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, England, with their good friend John Bush joining them for a very special one off performance.

"The members of Anthrax have confirmed the departure of vocalist Dan Nelson. In light of this development, Anthrax's slot on the U.S. Slipknot dates set for August and September, has also been cancelled. Anthrax is already actively considering lead singer candidates, and looks forward to hitting the road before the end of the year."
