ROBB FLYNN Vows To 'Crush' LIMP BIZKIT At U.K.'s SONISPHERE Festival!

MACHINE HEAD frontman Robb Flynn has vowed to "crush" LIMP BIZKIT when the two bands share the stage tomorrow (Sunday, August 2) at the Sonisphere festival at the legendary Knebworth Park, United Kingdom.

The San Francisco Bay Area metallers, who announced on July 7 that they were pulling out of the U.K. Sonisphere because the event's promoter "placed, unbeknownst to us, LIMP BIZKIT in our third slot on the festival," are back on the bill as the top-secret "special guests" (as first reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET on July 29). They will perform right before LIMP BIZKIT and are due to hit the stage at around 2:45 p.m.

Without confirming the band's participation in tomorrow's event, Flynn posted a brief message on the official MACHINE HEAD message board "The Frontlines", stating simply, "We're going to fucking CRUSH LIMP BIZKIT!!!!"

In a recent Twitter update, LIMP BIZKIT frontman Fred Durst claimed that he was "shocked" when he first heard that MACHINE HEAD was pulling out of the U.K. Sonisphere because of a dispute over LIMP BIZKIT's slot at the festival. However, he was quick to add, "[I] love MACHINE HEAD [and] always will."
