There is no sonisphere festival in Germany in 2010
HISTORY
The idea for Sonisphere was first conceived when Stuart Galbraith, was working for now business rivals and organisers of Download Festival, Live Nation. The plan was to hold a series of events that would 'translate into other territories'. The event did not begin to materialise however, until Galbraith left Live Nation for events company Kilamanjaro Live.
Galbraith gained the support of influential metal band Metallica who will help curate the festival in coming years, plans for future festivals are to expand the number of festivals making the event global rather than local to europe, expanding the UK event to a 3 day festival and increasing the UK capacity from 40,000 to 60,000.
The German edition of the Sonisphere Festival took place on Saturday July 4, 2009 at Hockenheimring with headliners Metallica, Die Toten Hosen, The Prodigy, Anthrax, In Extremo, Down, Lamb of God and Mastodon
