THE Sonisphere Festival at Knebworth House this summer has had its licence approved.
Festival organisers submitted the application to North Herts District Council (NHDC) for the August 1-2 rock festival and for future years of the festival.
It included plans for traffic management, noise control and crime prevention.
No residents objected to the licence application during a 28-day period so NHDC granted the licence.

"It is a brilliant event for the region, offers an exciting and world-recognisable line-up for the event calendar, and will provide a much-needed economic boost to the region.
