Sonisphere festival kicks off exactly one month today, and several bands have just been added to the lineup, most notably British post-hardcore heroes Hundred Reasons. They were originally booked to play the unfortunately-cancelled 2012 event, and went onto to reform in November of that year to celebrate the decade anniversary of their 2002 ‘Ideas Above Our Station’ album at a number of sold-out UK dates.
Guitarist Larry Hibbett explains:Â “We said we’d never do it again, but the cancelled Sonisphere of 2012 left a big hole in that summer for us. So when our shorts-wearing, crowd-surfing, festival-promoting comrade Alan Day came up with a slot for us this year we just couldn’t say no. And we didn’t. Don’t get used to this. We say no A LOT so this is not going to happen often, if ever. But when it makes sense it makes sense and we’re there. Like we will be on 5th July. See you at the front”.
Below is the list of additions to the lineup just announced. For the full lineup check out the festival poster below.
