Monday, March 9th, 2009

Guitarist Scott Ian from Anthrax said: “We are really excited to be making our only UK appearance at Sonisphere. We’ve been anticipating our return to the UK and we are honoured to be a part of this amazing line-up.

It’s also going to be Dan Nelson’s first UK gig and what better way to show him off than on this show! Leave it to Metallica to create what I will wager is going to be the festival of the year. See you at Sonisphere and get ready for a full-on Anthrax attack!”
