HISTORY

Sonisphere Festival Czech Republic took place on July 19th 2010 at the former military airport Hradcany near Mimon Prague, approx. 100 km northward from Prague.

There will be 3 Stages to Rock your ass off!

Besides the legendary thrash metal BIG FOUR – METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX who are sharing the stage for the very first time in Rock History other extraordinary bands such as Heaven & Hell, Rise Against and Stone Sour will rock the Stages. But not only the fans of the very hard fraction will be satisfied. At the „Saturn Electronic Night Stage“ all friends of electronic Sounds won’t be disappointed! PENDULUM DJ Set, ADAM FREELAND und JOHN B. will treat the turntables till dawn! The third Stage shows that the Czech Republic is not only a wonderful host but also hosts some fantastic local bands!

It is needless to say that Czech Republic is not just a country of the best beer but also a country of a very cheap beer (cca 1,5 – 2euro)! SO…LET‘S ROCK!
