Slipknot To Webcast Sonisphere Performance July 10

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ RoadRunner Records) Slipknot has announced that their headlining performance at the Sonisphere festival in Knebworth, UK on Sunday, July 10 at 9 PM GMT (that's 4 PM EST) will be webcast in real time via Slipknot1.com and Sonispherefestivals.com. This will be the band's first UK show in over two years, as well as their first British performance without founding member Paul Gray, who tragically passed away last year.

The band says of the upcoming performance, "England has always been a special place for this band from the very beginning. We can't think of a better way to culminate our celebration of Paul's life than to share it with the Maggots at Knebworth and the millions more watching around the world. This is not to be missed."

Says festival producer Stuart Galbraith:"This is the first time Sonisphere Festival has been transmitted live across the web and represents yet another major stride in its commitment to harnessing the power of the internet to engage with the rock audience at large across the planet. Given that this is going to be such an important event for Slipknot fans the world over, we felt it only right to allow them all to share in what is set to be a historic experience, wherever they are."
The performance kicks off at 9 PM UK time, which is 4 PM EST and 1 PM PST.
