Guitarist Brian Tatler had this to say about the news "Diamond Head have been given the fantastic opportunity of opening for the BIG 4 at this years Sonisphere festival, Knebworth Friday 8th July. This will be Diamond Head's biggest ever show and myself and the other band members are very excited and looking forward to what will be an historic event. Knebworth is one of those venues you only dream of playing, I saw Led Zeppelin there in 1979 and never imagined that one day I would be on that stage, it proves the saying 'anything is possible'! It also means i get to see my friends in Metallica and Megadeth once again which is always fun, I owe both Lars Ulrich and Dave Mustaine a beer."
