Black Stone Cherry Join Sonisphere Bill

They join eleven new acts on the line-up

Published 5th Mar 2012

BLACK STONE CHERRY are the pick of a very strong new set of bands to join the line-up for this year's Sonisphere Knebworth.

The Southern rockers will make their debut at Knebworth, and they are pretty excited about it.

"Now we can check off another goal on the ole BSC "wanna do it" list!” says guitarist Ben Wells. "We can't wait to make our debut at Sonisphere 2012!!”

Elsewhere on the bill GLASSJAW will perform Worship & Tribute in full, while HUNDRED REASONS will also go down the "Album Performance" route by playing the whole of their superb Top Ten album Ideas Above Our Station.

South African grunge outfit SEETHER play an exclusive set in support of their excellent new album while doom metallers ELECTRIC WIZARD play a set on the Bohemia Stage.

And NEW MODEL ARMY will play a special late night set AFTER KISS wrap up on Friday night.

Other additions on this new announcement are Kvelertak, Skindred, Crowbar, Alestorm and The Getaway
