Faith No More for Sonisphere UK says UK tabloid
The Daily Star, our UK newspaper of choice for their searing cerebral analysis of world affairs, today reports that Faith No More will play Sonisphere UK this summer.
During the course of an interview with American Idle winner Adam Lambert, who will help Queen thrash their own legacy to bits at the festival, the paper casually reports: “Sonisphere’s line-up, which also includes metal veterans Faith No More, tours Europe before hitting Knebworth on July 6-8, scene of Queen’s final gig with Freddie in 1986.”
Faith No More have previously been strongly rumoured to be playing the French version of the touring festival on the same weekend.

- We know he’s a Giants baseball fan but sure about the 49ers in gridiron but that hasn’t stopped the San Francisco Chronicle putting forward Mike Patton to sing the national anthem at the NFC Championship game between the ‘Niners and the New York Giants at Candlestick Park on Sunday.
