Some great bands on that bill.

Just doesn't look right NEW MODEL ARMY being lower down in smaller script.

Aw, they're second on the bill behind The Sisters Of Mercy in a big dark tent..?

I love Iron Maiden, but I'd take that over the Maiden boys (in a big field, exposed to the elements, knee-deep in mud and probably 500 ft from the stage) anyday...

Ooooooohhhhh!!! In between me sticking it up on the home page and coming back here y'all beaten me to the announcement on the Forum  :-\

Anyways, from the home page:
"NEW MODEL ARMY are confirmed to appear at Sonisphere Festival on Saturday July 5th on the Bohemia Stage.

Justin: "We are very much looking forward to playing Sonisphere, and in particular playing at the legendary Knebworth House. This will be the first time we have played both."

I've been to Sonisphere twice (2010-11) and both times, the best gigs were the late night ones in the tent, and it looks like NMA will be one of those.

I'm SERIOUSLY tempted to go, now.

we're debating whether to go just for the Sat... having just discovered that the last train back to London is at 1am suddenly made it a lot more likely

I was there, in the front row of the gig, wondering if some of you were forumites! Fantastic gig.
