Started in the summer of 2009, Sonispere rock music festivals were the brainchild of Stuart Galbraith, the man who oversaw the huge 2005 Live 8 concert in Hyde Park, and established the O2 Wireless Festival.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
This year DirectRooms.com are pleased to announce the return of Sonispere Festival once again to Turkey. The festival debuted in Istanbul in 2009 and has been increasing in popularity since then. The 2011 festival will be at Küçükçiftlik Park which has been completely renovated and enlarged.
The event, taking place from 12th to 19th of June, will have yet another star studded line-up. The headline band will be none other than Iron Maiden, one of the most successful heavy metal bands in rock music history. They will be performing their full stage show which will surely be the highlight of the festival.
The iconic Alice Cooper will be performing as well and he will be bringing his own special brand of theatricality to the event.
There will be a vast range of other rock bands such as Slipknot, In Flames the Swedish alternative metal group from Gothenburg, and Mastodon - similar to Slipknot, an American heavy metal band.
Central Istanbul hotels are generally cheaper than many European cities, and for accommodation with all modern features but still relatively cheap, hotels in Istanbul Airport are well placed, with a good metro line that gets passengers to the city centre in 30 minutes. |
