Bill Bailey has offered ahead of the Sonisphere festival this weekend to stand in for the massive rockers Metallica.
The star of Never Mind The Buzzcocks and Black Books has always been a metal fan and refers to heavy metal music in his stand up shows. The comedian hopes that being at Sonisphere this weekend, the entire crowd will understand his heavy metal references.
Headlining at Knebworth this weekend, Bill Bailey has confirmed that this is the type of festival that he would go to anyway, and has brought along a band to ‘metal up’ some of his songs he uses in his routine.
The baboon loving comedian is set to appear on the Saturn Stage in front 50,000 metal fans on Sunday 10th July before Slipknot close the festival on the Apollo stage.

Slipknot Humbled by 2 Minute Silence
Also appearing at Sonisphere this weekend is Slipknot, who have been reported to be humbled by the two-minute silence for Paul Gray the late bassist for the band who died last year.
A two-minute silence is a long time for a bunch of drunken metal heads, and frontman Corey Taylor has agreed saying, “Dude, what are the chances a bunch of drunk concertgoers are going to be able to shit the fuck up for a whole two minutes?”
Adding “You know dudes are going to be yelling “Fuck yeah” or “Slayer” during those two minutes. No way there’s going to be absolute silence”.
I’m glad that he realises that 50,000 headbangers keeping silent for two minutes is an impossible task!
BritEvents have Sonisphere tickets available, so if you want to join Slipknot, Metallica, Limpbizkit and Bill Bailey then grab these tickets and join the party!
Have a great weekend metal fans, I think this weekend is gonna be a heavy hangover!
