UPDATE: BABYMETAL’s performance has now been upgraded to the main Apollo stage on Saturday July 5th where they will play alongside Iron Maiden and Deftones!
With the festival season just around the corner, line-up announcements have been flooding in left right and centre. The most surprising and welcomed news being that Japan’s queens of heavy metal and internet phenomenon BABYMETAL will be performing on the Bohemia stage on Sunday July 6th at this year’s Sonisphere Festival!
During BABYMETAL’s milestone show at the legendary Budokan in Tokyo, where they became the youngest-ever female artists to grace the venue’s stage, the trio broke the news that they’ll be touring Europe at the end of June this year, with the news of their Sonisphere appearance being the first confirmed show of the tour.
In November last year it was announced that Sonisphere would return to Knebworth Park after 2013’s festival was a no-go, and will play host to some of the biggest names in rock including Iron Maiden, Metallica, and The Prodigy.
