Hot off the back of last week’s announcement - revealing SLIPKNOT’s exclusive return to the UK - SONISPHERE KNEBWORTH 2011 can now reveal the second headliner for next summer’s festival.
For Saturday night, we are delighted to announce that Scottish superstars BIFFY CLYRO will bring their legendary live performance to SONISPHERE for the first time, for an exclusive headlining set. With early albums receiving high praise from critics, their hard work on the underground scene paid off when BIFFY CLYRO’s popularity shot through the roof following the release of their fourth full length, “Puzzle”, in 2007. The nilhilistic proposition of ‘Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies’ coupled with the infectious ‘Who’s got a Match’ and the elegiac ‘Folding Stars’ firmly sealed their position as one of rock’s biggest names, making anyone with even a passing interest in music unable to ignore the three piece.
The announcement comes hot off the back of a huge arena tour - which ended at a sold out Wembley Arena on Saturday night - completing twelve truly amazing months for BIFFY CLYRO, whose universal appeal has propelled them to rock god status and ensured that masterpiece “Only Revolutions” went platinum in the UK, as well as receiving a Mercury Prize nomination for Album of The Year. Add to this a succession of singles, all of which reached top spots in the UK charts and it’s no wonder BIFFY CLYRO is now a household name across the country.
This exclusive headlining slot promises to be a summer festival highlight, filled with their magnificent rock outs and catchy singalong anthems such as “The Captain”, “Bubbles” and “Mountains”.
