FOUR more bands have been added to the Sonisphere Festival line-up at Knebworth House.
Next month's two-day rock event will feature the first UK appearance of Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington's side project Dead By Sunrise.
Made up of members of industrial rockers Julien-K and led by Bennington, the band will release their debut album later this year.
Music fans at Knebworth on Saturday, August 1 - the first day of Sonisphere - will have the opportunity to hear songs by Dead By Sunrise on the Apollo main stage as part of Linkin Park's encore.
