US brain-bursting drug-rock lords Monster Magnet have been confirmed as headliners for this year's Hard Rock III festival in Prestatyn Sands, North Wales.

After their set on Friday, heavy metal heroes Queensrÿche will close the festival on Saturday night, in their only UK show of the year.

Filthy punk legends The New York Dolls, 90's rockers Terrorvision, UK thrasers Evile and cult female metallers Girlschool will all also join the line-up for this year's bash from December 4-6 later this year.
