I don't get why everyone is fapping over the EU soni line ups.  Most of those bands played last year, or are playing Soni UK, with a few exceptions which are at Download.

If I had to choose between the big 4 with Metallica and Iron Maiden, I'd choose Iron Maiden, as much as I love Metallica, I saw them twice last year alone, I'd rather the line up was a bit different tbh...

I agree that FNM/Soundgarden would be amazing additions though, but I really don't see Soundgarden playing at the moment, FNM are definitely possible though

I was all set for a summer of Download, Reading and Sonisphere and then yesterday happened. Reading's not particularly impressive rumoured headliners followed by a pretty terrible Sonisphere announcement.

The problem that Sonisphere has is that because the 2 main stages alternate, there could now be a period of several hours where there is nothing to do except walking backwards and forwards AWAY from the stage with the bands on. We did this a little bit last year, but with all the filler bands in the lineup it would happen a lot more this year. If I hear Madina Lake cover Nine Inch Nails again I will end up hurting someone!

I'm not sure you will have that problem this year as I've heard that Sonisphere are having 2 main stages and 2 tents this year? I think it will be confirmed soon.  So you will have 3 bands playing at the same time.

I agree with your comment re: Madina Lake
