Sonisphere Knebworth - Friday

Starting the weekend with a dutch band Delain was interesting, they had some good material but sound too much like Evanescence and Within Temptation, and the crowd didn't seem too impressed, but not a bad start to the weekends events

Europe were a good and interesting addition to the lineup as they were 3rd on the bill, even after headlining last year's addition of Bloodstock, but still they gave their stadium rock to Knebworth, and the rushes of the crowd during the opening keys of The Final Countdown and the screams was something that should be at every festival

Alice Cooper, the headliner of this night, took to the stage around 9 and erupted into School's Out and a set that included classics - Poison, Billion Dollar Babies, Feed My Frankenstein - and then ended with School's Out which was a unique thing I've never seen done, and his stage show was tremendous, and after 30 years absence at festivals, lets hope he doesn't leave it too long again, a phenomenal performance.
