Press Release
THURSDAY 24 JUNE 2010
TERRA VIBE PARK, ATHENS
All Greek sites, blogs and forum for some months, flooded Rumors of a possible recurrence of the "BIG FOUR" in our country.
The DiDi Music / Big Star Promotion, officially now asserts that on
Thursday, June 24, 2010 at Terra Vibe Park will launch a
new institution that will be "shaking" our summers: Sonisphere Festival!!
For the first time in our country, Sonisphere Festival, in a single day, will present a line up that will be unforgettable!
The Big Four - METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX - will appear together for first time in history, and along with Stone Sour, Mastodon, and Bullet For My Valentine, will cause even the most demanding public frenzy of enthusiasm!
The LARS ULRICH of METALLICA commented on the historic statement:
" Who would have thought that 25 years after its inception, the big 4 of thrash metal, not only live long and happily but now they will play together for the first time ... what a mindfuck! Bring it on! "
" It was time to happen, "says KERRY KING of SLAYER. "And time for the fans to finally get what they want. This is fucking awesome. "
guitarist of ANTHRAX, SCOTT IAN, agrees commenting size of the announcement.
"People are talking about these four groups playing together since 1984. This is twenty-six years of expectation! And the point is I do not think it would meet their expectations unless we "smash" it! No other quartet groups with such influence has done this before. Imagine if the Beatles, the Stones, The Who and Zeppelin had appeared together? Or the Sabbath, the Priest, the Maiden and Motorhead? Okay, I may exaggerate but as a fan, I feel that strong about it. "
These four legendary bands emerged from the underground thrash movement to dominate the world of metal the 1980s, selling millions of albums and filling stages around the world. The giants of the metal have never shared the stage despite the public demand. But on 24 June 2010, METALLICA, SLAYER, MEGADETH and ANTHRAX will climb to the stage at Terra Vibe Park, to make reality the dreams of the headbangers of Greece.
" It is a lifetime opportunity for fans of Heavy Metal to see the four largest groups of its kind in American history, together, in a scene " concludes the leader of MEGADETH, DAVE MUSTAINE. "If there any heads left at the end of the festival "unbanged" they do not belong here."
Having been awarded "Best New Festival" in the UK Festival Awards 2009 SONISPHERE FESTIVAL goes strong with the announcement of the line up in Greece in 2010.
SONISPHERE In 2009, measured the contribution 300.000 fans in six festivals on the continent, the Netherlands, Germany , Spain, Sweden, Finland and Britain. Demonstrating a line-up covering a really wide range of rock music scene by Metallica as a first name, led a collection of bands from country to country including Slipknot, Lamb Of God, Anthrax, Linkin Park, The Prodigy, The Hives and many others, making its inaugural tour tremendously successful.
In 2010 the SONISPHERE extended to Greece and in ten more countries.
With a very impressive line up, this revolutionary, itinerant circus rock leads to even greater success, and establishes its position as the leading rock festival on the planet!
