Bill Bailey

Bill Bailey Self confirmed via his twitter. There was also a video interview with Mr Galbraith which was up on NME for a while where he announced it but has since been pulled as it wasn't meant to be posted this early I don't think.

Genius booking imo He's playing Saturn stage, last on the sunday, so just before Slipknot hit apollo.

[pryce]

damn it! i had enough excuses not to go but now after this im seriously thinking about it

i cant afford 3 fests but might just have to not go out for a month and save

awful!

tent for me if true.

Really bold booking but one that could prove that sonisphere is just more than another music festival. We will just have to wait until July to see if this gamble pays off.

I personally am really looking forward to it but I am worried about how the crowd will be seeing as he is on between limp bizkit and slipknot

I reckon he'll pitch it just right and really get the crowd ready for Slipknot - he's a rocker at heart and I'm sure he use some 'rock friendy' material....whatever that is!

sonisphere have now confirmed he is headlining the saturn stage on saturday. this actually makes a lot more sense.

this is pretty good for me as it allows me to get a good spot for slipknot! really want to be infront of the safety barrier for them!
