There doesn't seem to be too many rumours floating around just yet so here's a few heavier bands I'd like to see on the bill as it's looking a tad lightweight at the mo...

Arch Enemy
Bleeding Through (New album 13.04.10)
Devil Driver
The Haunted
Soilwork (New album 25.06.10)
Trivium

They're going to need to pull some rather large, numerous rabbits out of the hat on Monday (Soundgarden? Rob Zombie?) to start competing with download. Alas I already have my Sonisphere Tickets Purely for Maiden. So keep faith!

[luckysalt]

bleeding through have said theyre playing download and 1other uk fest according to official download forum. So maybe?

Pretty sure I heard that Soundgarden arent doing any UK fests until 2011? I think I also heard they are in the US at the time of Sonisphere. I'm not sure though. I don't think their that good eithier, Rob Zombie is somewhere else at the time of Sonisphere too.

The person who said that tho was Andy Copping the Download organiser. He could be right or he could just be lying, so all Soundgarden fans go "oh theyr not playing festivals this year so wont be at Sonisphere or Reading either so we may aswel just buy a Download Ticket as they have a better lineup anyway". I personally think theyl make an apperance at Reading tho possibly as headliner.

& no theyr not that good theyr f**king amazing!

Says on twitter that the announcement is tommorow at Midnight.. So is going to be announced on the 2nd March.

[Rancidpunk_76]

I think i heard that skunk Anansie were going to make 2 festival annoncements - 1 being TITP, now look likely for V fest also. Maybe that's them off the list then?

Just read on the Kerrang website that Funeral For A Friend are rumoured to be announced for Sonisphere. Good shout methinks. something a little more contempary to balance out the older school type bands.

Anyhoo, not long to go now.........

[6t6o6m]

Ok. I'm hoping for some good bands. As I'm not doing Download.

Come on Sonisphere give me something to be happy about

[luckysalt]

Skunk Anansie will 100% be announced today, after the V fest announcement they said thats one of our 2 UK festival announcements today, the other will be later tonight

Great to see that Skunk Anansie will be getting a decent slot. Hopefully before Alice Cooper on the Friday. Although if I had my way they'd be in Iron Maiden's slot lol .

But who are the extremely mysterious and enigmatic special guests to be announced?

[luckysalt]

what a w*nk announcement. Soni clearly shot their load early. No wonder theyve been holding off announcing.

[Cruicky]

*waits for the Metallica/Soundgarden rumours to start

well that annoncements was errrr terrible. special guest has got to be metallica then. they have to have metallica cos this festival seriously has its back up against the wall, and theyv got them on a 3yr contract so shudnt take an awful lot to sort them out - with Download leap years ahead so far with the lineups. If not Metallica maybe Judas Priest, or at a push......Soundgarden?
