SLIPKNOT's Sonisphere Set To Be Transmitted Live From Knebworth By Tokemaster General, Contributor Thursday, July 7, 2011 @ 3:25 PM
SLIPKNOT has announced a special real-time webcast of their Knebworth performance via their website, Slipknot1.com, to take place during their headline set at 9 PM (GMT) on Sunday, July 10th.
The webcasting of Slipknot's historic Sunday night headline set live across the world from Knebworth, will go out live on Slipknot1.com as well as Sonispherefestivals.com. Set to be an epic and emotional occasion, this highly anticipated show will mark the band’s first appearance in the UK in over two years and their first British performance without founding member Paul Gray, who tragically passed away last year.
The band said of the upcoming performance: “England has always been a special place for this band from the very beginning. We can’t think of a better way to culminate our celebration of Paul’s life than to share it with the Maggots at Knebworth and the millions more watching around the world. This is not to be missed.”
Says festival producer Stuart Galbraith: “This is the first time Sonisphere Festival has been transmitted live across the web and represents yet another major stride in its commitment to harnessing the power of the internet to engage with the rock audience at large across the planet. Given that this is going to be such an important event for Slipknot fans the world over, we felt it only right to allow them all to share in what is set to be a historic experience, wherever they are.”

At 2 PM on the Sunday, a two minute silence, led from the Saturn Arena stage, will fall over the whole arena and all the stages at Knebworth, so fans can pay tribute to Slipknot's Number 2. Fans will also be able to leave a more personal tribute in a book of condolence that will be left at the Metal Hammer signing tent for the duration of the weekend. The giant, leather-bound book will be open to those who wish to leave their own obituaries, thoughts or drawings, from midday to midnight each day. The book will be passed to Slipknot at the end of the festival on Sunday night. Sonisphere Knebworth takes place July 8th - 10th at Knebworth House. For tickets and more info go to this location.
