Regno Unito (annullato) Knebworth Park, Hertfordshire
La quarta edizione inglese (la più rinomata) del Sonisphere Festival che si sarebbe dovuta tenere sempre a Knebworth il 6, 7 e 8 luglio 2012 è stata annullata in quanto, per motivi non meglio precisati, “non si sarebbe riuscito a mantenere il festival agli standard qualitativi che artisti partecipanti e audience si sarebbero aspettati”.
