Making the long journey over from Down Under, Australia’s Parkway Drive pay their first visit to Sonisphere, bringing with them an arsenal of mosh-inducing metalcore. Consistently delivering fierce and energetic live shows, Parkway Drive have earned a reputation for unforgettable performances, through hard work and heavy touring with the likes of Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through and many more. Hot off the back of a UK tour, the promise of Parkway Drive’s exclusive festival appearance at Sonisphere is one that is bound to excite the fans as much as the band:


“Holy crap they’re actually letting us play this thing!!!” shouts vocalist Winston McCall. “Sonisphere 2011!!! I don’t think we can really describe how excited we are to play, and I think Jeff will probably die when Metallica play!”
