Plans to host a massive summer rock festival at Knebworth remain on track, the WHT has learned.
In November, we reported American metal giants METALLICA were rumoured to be headlining a new rock festival, to take place at the stately home in July, writes Chris Richards.
And on Thursday, Knebworth House's managing director Martha Lytton-Cobbold said that discussions to secure the band were ongoing.
Speaking exclusively to the WHT, she said: "I have nothing confirmed at this stage," but added: "I would love them [Metallica] to come and I am pushing very hard [to get them]."
If confirmed, the event would provide competition to the Download festival, which takes place at Donington from June 12 to 14.
