ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian commented: "We are really excited to be making our only U.K. appearance at Sonisphere. We've been anticipating our return to the UK and we are honored to be a part of this amazing lineup. It's also going to be Dan Nelson's [vocals] first U.K. gig and what better way to show him off than on this show?! Leave it to METALLICA to create what I will wager is going to be THE festival of the year. See you at Sonisphere and get ready for a full-on ANTHRAX attack!!!"
