The third and final day of the Sonisphere weekend brings to the table another day filled with brilliant acts sprawling across a range of different genres. With what might be Slipknot‘s final UK performance together (at least with the current line-up), it’s an emotional and iconic day for all maggots in attendance.

Extended to a full three-day weekend with just the Saturn stage not used on the Friday, the first day of musical entertainment at this year’s Sonisphere brings a bloody big attraction: The Big 4. With their first ever appearance over in the UK, the festival sure has a pretty impressive exclusive amongst the rest of the country’s festivals, and for all thrash metal fans this surely the makings of a wet dream come true.

Hosted at the grounds of Knebworth, we got involved with the Sonisphere festivities now that the event has been extended to a three-day weekend with all of its stages. Though there were an awful lot of brilliant acts spread across the whole of the weekend, there were plenty of other great acts to behold, and we managed to capture a select few of them on camera. Take a look in the gallery below, you might even see yourself or someone you know somewhere in the crowd.
These photos have also all been uploaded into an album on our official Facebook page, so please feel free to tag away. You can find the relative album by clicking here.

Hosted at the grounds of Knebworth, we got involved with the Sonisphere festivities now that the event has been extended to a three-day weekend with all of its stages. Finishing off the weekend with a bang, the festival managed to bag a slot from comedian Bill Bailey, and also what could potentially be Slipknot‘s final UK performance. Though we weren’t allowed photo access to the Apollo and Saturn stages to take shots of the big guns, our snappy photographer did manage to catch all the other great action across the arena.
Featuring: Cancer Bats, Alestorm, Floods, The Answer, Sonic Boom Six, Orange Goblin, Amplifier, Mad Dog, Kylesa, InMe, Arcane Roots, Turbowolf, Bat Sabbath, Title Fight, Bill Bailey,
