Sonisphere invited back to Knebworth
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 6 August 2009
It seems that the first Sonisphere festival went very well. Apart from the fact that various people have told me so, we have a glowing review below. Also, festival director Stuart Galbraith said it had “the best atmosphere I’ve experienced in 25 years of putting on festivals”. But he would say that.
However, one person who was particularly impressed was the owner of Knebworth House, the festival’s venue, Lord Henry Lytton Cobbold, who was especially pleased with how it all went, including the traffic management, which has always been notoriously bad at Knebworth events and has in the past caused people to miss entire shows.
Cobbold told CMU that the festival was more than welcome back again next year, saying: “Sonisphere has been a fantastic success and really put Knebworth House back on the map as a musical venue. The problems that we have experienced in the past such as traffic, have been addressed by the festival organisers, and as a result give me great confidence to re-establish Knebworth House as the ultimate venue for artist to play in their career”.
Taking him up on the offer, the festival’s organisers have confirmed that Sonisphere will be back at Knebworth again next year.
