background
Having established itself as the Best New Festival at the 2009 UK Festival Awards and holding six out of eight of the nominations for the forthcoming Best New Festival category at the European Festival Awards, Sonisphere Festival moves forward proudly with the announcement of their phenomenal 2010 headliners. Last year’s Sonisphere saw 300,000 music fans attend six festivals across the continent, taking in The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Finland, and the UK. Boasting a line-up covering a truly broad spectrum of the rock scene, headliners Metallica led a diverse collection of acts from country to country including Slipknot, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Linkin Park, The Prodigy, The Hives and many more, to make the inaugural tour a huge success.
This year will see Sonisphere take place in 11 countries across Europe, including the UK, Finland, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain and Turkey to name but a few. Headliners include Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Rammstein. With an extremely impressive line up already shaping up across all eleven shows, this groundbreaking travelling rock circus is set to be an even bigger success in 2010, as it solidifies its position as the world’s leading rock festival series.

Shuttles will run during the scheduled train times from Stevenage Train Station starting at 1pm on the Thursday and ending once everyone has gone on Monday. It will be a continuous service rather than at set times. Please note that the shuttle service can be used by those not using the train service.

By rail you'll find the closest train station is Stevenage at just over 2 miles away. There is a free shuttle service plus a taxi rank. Taxis should cost approximately £5 to the festival site (dependent on traffic and charges by individual taxi firms).
