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.
Heavy metal legends Saxon and Californian hard rockers Buckcherry have also been confirmed for the camping festival at the stately home from August 1-2, just as the www.whtimes24.co.uk predicted last week.
Saxon replace Thin Lizzy and will play the Apollo stage on the Sunday.
