Alice Cooper

A WORLD record attempt will take place in Knebworth this evening (Friday) at the Sonisphere Festival.

IT’S just a jump to the left

And then a step to the right

With your hands on your hips

You bring your knees in tight

But it’s the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane,

Let’s do the Time Warp again!

As the theme for this year’s Friday night dress-up at Knebworth is the cult musical The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Sonisphere organisers will try to get into the Guinness World Records by having the most people doing the Time Warp at the same time.

More than 4,000 people will need to take part at 6pm in order to break the current world best.

Festival-goers’ bid to pelvic thrust their way into the record books will take place in front of the second Saturn stage.

Veteran shock-rocker Alice Cooper headlines the same arena later tonight with his gruesome Theatre of Death show, after Swedish rockers Europe, famed for smash 80s hit The Final Countdown, and electro-pop pioneer Gary Numan have both taken to the stage.

East German metallers Rammstein top the bill tomorrow (Saturday) night with what promises to be one of the most explosive stage shows ever seen at a British festival – with 22 tonnes of pyrotechnics set to light up the Knebworth sky.

Heavy metal legends Iron Maiden will close the three-day rock festival on Sunday with their only UK appearance of the year.
