Absage des Sonisphere UK

Man kann nicht gerade von einer Erfolgsgeschichte berichten, schaut man auf die Sonisphere Festivals weltweit. Jetzt wurde zum wiederholten Male das Mutterfestival, das Sonisphere UK abgesagt.

Nur noch das Sonisphere Italien und das Sonisphere Frankreich stehen noch im Festivalkalender.

Trotz der Buchung von Iron Maiden „Iron Maiden spielen Sonisphere Festivals 2013“ scheinen die Vorverkäufe nicht wie gewünscht zu laufen. Bereits dieses Jahr musste das Sonisphere UK abgesagt werden – diesmal informiert man seine Fans aber wenigstens noch im alten Jahr und nicht erst kurzfristig Ende März.

„Team Sonisphere is sad to say that it has now been confirmed that Sonisphere UK will take a year off in 2013.

The three Sonisphere Festivals to date at Knebworth in 2009/2010/2011 set a very high standard and indeed 2011 was voted the best festival line up by The UK Festival Awards.

We think it is really important that the event only runs when it has a line up that sets it apart from the competition whilst also carrying a ticket price that allows us to offer real value for money to the music fans. We were hoping to do that in 2013 but unfortunately it wasn’t possible to fulfil both aims with the principle problem of there being a lack of available headliners of the calibre of previous festivals at Knebworth. We made offers to over a dozen major artists but for various reasons none of these offers lead to securing a strong bill.

The good news is that the Sonisphere in Amneville, France and the Sonisphere in Milan, Italy are already on sale and UK fans who fancy jumping on a budget airline and seeing the mighty Iron Maiden at Sonisphere festivals in sunnier climates can buy tickets via www.Sonispherefestivals.com in pounds sterling.

Watch out for more Sonsiphere European news to be announced early 2013″
