Sonisphere UK 2012 has been cancelled, read the official statement for more details.

This year's Sonisphere isn't going to be short of tight trousers, big hair and men in make-up, thanks to appearances from Kiss, The Darkness and Queen - who will be join by former American Idol singer Adam Lambert.

For our money the best things are happening further down the line-up, however, with Mastodon and Glassjaw performing albums in full, and Refused playing their first UK show in over a decade.

Headliners: Kiss, Queen (with Adam Lambert) and Faith No More

Dates:6 - 8 July
