Week period of time, thousands gathered at the festival site and fell silent.

The PA boomed out Slipknot’s ‘Vermilion Part 2’ ahead of the remembrance. In a last interview Corey Taylor explained the poignant idea behind the song

Taylor says, “The differences (between the two tracks) are subtle — ‘Vermilion, Pt. 1′ is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis”

“‘Part 2′ is the aftermath, the pieces that have to be picked up later, and maybe the guilt of having lived through it.”

Radio presenter and Hexes frontman addressed the audience simply saying:

“You all know why we’re here, right?
“The band are all here and they want you to know that they are eternally grateful and Paul Gray would be very touched”

Galbraith had this to say about the two aforementioned bands: "They're both two that we're talking to, amongst a whole list of others. I also think we could have Green Day and Blink-182 here, but none of those are confirmed."

He went on to address the capacity of the event: "Sonisphere at Knebworth is 60,000 capacity and our current intention is that it will stay like that for the foreseeable future, we're not looking for it to become a mega festival. We're not looking to create a 100,000 capacity festival."
