We all already know that Finnish band Children of Bodom will play the Rock Stage at Sziget this year.

What we didn’t know was the date when they would do it. A post on their MySpace blog clears that up, too. Children of Bodom will play Sziget Festival 2010 on August 11.

A very full metal day it is, since we’ll get to see Children of Bodom, as well as Ill Nino, according to current info.
