ANOTHER new stage has been added to the Sonisphere Festival line-up at Knebworth House next month.

The heavy metal event's fourth stage, the Jagermeister truck, will showcase the hottest unsigned new talent the UK has to offer at the Hertfordshire stately home on August 1-2.

The ex-army vehicle has been dramatically transformed by Jagermeister into a mobile rock paradise.

On the Saturday, Blackhole, Exit Ten, Fin, Me Vs Hero and The Dead Formats will play.

Dear Superstar, Heaven's Basement, The Crave, The Defiled and Young Guns will be flying the flag for the best of British rock talent on the Sunday.

After earning rave reviews for their Download performance at Donington last month, reformed chart-toppers Limp Bizkit were added to the Sonisphere bill earlier this week.

Sonisphere's main stage will be headlined by Linkin Park on Saturday, August 1, with metal legends Metallica closing the two-day rock extravaganza the following night with a full two hour set.

The second stage will run alternatively with the main stage to avoid clashes, while smaller acts will be playing in the Bohemia village.
