Sonisphere Announces USB Wristband

Submitted by Dan on 25/06/2009 – 12:59 PMNo Comment

imagesWith metal fans gathering across Europe for the epic Sonisphere tour,
we present the unique Sonisphere Souvenir USB Wristband, offering fans
the ultimate collection of content from the festival (other than
catching Lars Ulrich’s drumsticks…).

The Sonisphere USB wristband gives fans an amazing collection of
exclusive audio and video tracks, interviews and choice highlights
from across the tour for just £20 (25EUR).

Soon, over 200,000 metal fans will be gathering for what is the
undoubtedly the greatest series of metal concerts of the summer, the
epic Sonisphere Festival. Sonisphere brings together the highest
calibre artists from across the world including titan’s Linkin Park,
Slipknot, Mastodon, Metallica to name but a few.

The festival will be a truly historic event and to celebrate this we
are creating the ultimate Sonisphere souvenir, The Official Sonisphere
Souvenir USB Wristband. The strictly limited edition Sonisphere USB
will feature backstage videos from the all the tour dates, and access
to the ultimate Sonisphere concert video, culminating in exclusive
tracks and highlights from the final concerts in the UK.

Each USB wristband will be loaded with exclusive content from the
event that day, including live audio tracks and backstage footage,
ready for collection when you leave the arena[1] so you can relive the
experience as soon as you get home. In addition there will also be
interviews with the best bands and the biggest fans, scrap book
mementoes such as photos and set-lists and much more other content to
access after the event, only to those with the USB wristband.

Already in the can are exclusive video interviews with Slipknot, Down,
Lamb Of God and Kamelot, with backstage footage including that all
important walk from the dressing room to the stage…

How it works

USB purchasers will be able to access and download more content after
each event through a secure download site. Just plug the USB wristband
into your computer and you can access the whole library of high
quality backstage and interview videos to download (please note the
performance videos will be released after Knebworth only). It’s as
easy as that, up to 30 live tracks, interviews, a whole host of
exclusive footage and messages from the bands[2] that you can keep[3].

How to order

You can buy the Official Sonisphere USB wristbands before the festival
via our online store sonispherefestivals.com/USB. There will also be a
limited number USB wristbands on sale at each festival 1 so make sure
you visit us next to the merchandise stalls early to order yours. Do
not miss out on your chance to get a hold of the ultimate Sonisphere
souvenir, once they’re gone, they’re gone!
