    Knebworth House in Hertfordshire is a gothic mansion of the Lytton family once lived in by Edward Bulwar Lytton who wrote “the pen is mightier than the sword”. The house along with it’s gardens is open to the general public for most of the year and frequently holds events such as wood carving exhibitions, car shows and fairs. Courtesy of www.knebworthhouse.comThis all may seem very usual of some larger stately homes now but may surprise you is that once a year is that it lets down it’s guard and plays host to the Sonisphere Festival. ****WHAT IS THE SONISPHERE FESTIVAL?**** The Sonisphere ... more

    5 Stars Sonisphere - A few bands before the big review! 16/10/2009

    Advantages Advantages Great site. Great atmosphere. Stage staggering works brilliantly. Well organised.

    Advantages Advantages amazing bands, lots of booze, a fantastic atmosphere

    Disadvantages Disadvantages It had to end, Expensive, The Fab four (beatles tribute)

    Where do I start ? well i can only really begin by telling you that for any rock/ metal fan who went this was possible the best weekend ever. between the amazing bands playing, the constant flow of booze and the sense that evreyone was there for the same sole reason just made it fantastic. Early bird ticket and Thursdays frolics: Buying the early bird ticket gave me the oppurtunity to arrive first, a day before any band started to play. Evreyone had sense of anticipation and it wasnt soon before your pre-festival drinks were opened. So after you've put the tent up, sorted through your stuff ... more
