Slipknot to broadcast their performance through the Web

Slipknot announced that they would broadcast their performance at the Sonisphere Festival live online. Fans will be able to see it through their web site Slipknot1.com. The band is set to headline the event that takes place this Sunday, July 10.

Members of the band already promised to deliver an "epic and emotional" performance.

Slipknot also claimed that it would feature a minute of silence to commemorate late bassist of the band Paul Grey.

Official statement by Slipknot says: "England has always been a special place for this band from the very beginning. We can't think of a better way to culminate our celebration of Paul's life than to share it with the maggots at Knebworth and the millions more watching around the world. This is not to be missed".

In March Slipknot announced that they have found someone to temporary replace Paul Gray. Donnie Steele is set to play with the band during its tour this summer. It is unknown if he stays with them further.

Donnie Steele was the original member of Slipknot, but left the band in 1996.

Slipknot last to date album All Hope Is Gone hit the stores in 2008.
