To be fair, if its a fun element they were after, surely the likes of Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Flogging Molly, NOFX, Bowling For Soup etc. Would have been a more sensible choice than feeding an Abba cover band to a bunch of angry metalheads.

It is happening, I'm just not sure why.

Yeah I see what you mean, I think one of the festival's main problems is that it's already jumped too far into the metal market, even though it's blatently going to have to look to more 'commercial' acts to play in the future.

I don't care either way, it's going to be a gas!

Clearly (sorry, one of m favorite words) you are missing the point!! Imagine the chaos if BA were announced at Bloodstock, there'd be carnage. Sonisphere promised us it was a "metal / heavy rock" fest, which is why I bought tickets on the day they came out, not to put up with some sh!te abba ttriute act. I can go down the local and see that kinda shit.
Super Trooper = F~ck off.
Money, money, etc. = F~ck off and die
Dancing queen = Time for the f~ucking shotgun.

Please let this be some kind of hoax, or SG has lost what little credibility he had left

No i get ur point im just saying saying i dont give a sh*t....i wud rather them than some average rock act who only qualify for being there because theyr classed under the brackets of 'metal'....at the end of the day its one act out of like 50 and its not even as though theyv taken up a headlining slot....and your all going on as tho your festival has been ruined and youv been ripped of by sonisphere....get over it....& if u bought tickets the day they came out with hardly any of the bands announced its kinda your own fault, i learnt the lesson never to do that a long time ago

I'd rather the latter.

To be fair we were promised neither situation would occur!   Right?

Word.

It was so farfetched that I have no shame whatsoever in admitting I almost certainly got it wrong. I'm not the one who should be ashamed of myself for an Abba tribute act actually playing ahead of the acts Lithium mentioned.
