It is OZZY as we all know how much Sharon loves Iron Maiden.Gets a bit `egg`sited about them.I`ll get my coat.

Is there a 3rd headliner being announced?

il narrow your search for u. Thras Hits have said "Sonisphere have confirmed there will be another raft of bands they’ll be announcing next week, which our rumour mill suggests will include one band that we’re actually pretty f**king surprised are playing any UK festival this year, as to be honest, we never thought they’d play any show ever again…." http://www.thrashhits.com/2010/03/and-the-...-knebworth-are/

so im stuck between....Guns N Roses, Judas Priest, Soundgarden or Metallica

ah yeah actually, great shout. fits perfectly - would they be big enough to sub-headline tho? i dont really know as theyr totally not my thing and have no idea how big they are? but if theyr the big announcement next week this festival is surely in massive trouble - well at least it will be free tickets again this year!

Did support for Iron Maiden before. I really can't see Metallica being it, I reckon that's just wishful thinking. And Soundgarden could headline any festival atm right now with the hype, I don't think their big come back is sub-heading a festival that is getting slated like f**k atm.

Well they headlined the o2nd stage last year, but with all the things that happened (drummers death), they'd be an even bigger pull than last year - and they were quite a big pull last year as it is.

However I really don't think it'll be them

[the_mars_volta]

How about A PERFECT CIRCLE? They have been working on new material after all.

Van Halen

after Download dropped them, bet its Van Halen

Funny enough I was thinking them but they was well expensive.So would really alter the rest of the annoucements due to lack of funds.

I hope not because of this and also I don`t like them but that is just me.

Its Manowar they never play over here.Dont like them either but really clutching at the I cant believe they would play a British festival vibe.

Manowar, yep another fantastic shout - reviewing it then id say its either manowar or a7x

[jammy2211]

Van Halen imo, were going to play Download but for whatever reason didn't (Probs cause they got Aerosmith).

Just like Heaven and Hell last year funnily enough. They fit the never playing a gig thing too? Aint it' been like 14 years since they played in the UK?

Rob Zombie and Korn are both on tour together in the USA all over Sonisphere weekend, so theres no chance for either

FAITH NO MORE have just announced they are playing the Spain Sonisphere in July and I believe they are our 'Special Guest' to be announced next week! http://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?p...150099375730647

[she bangs the drums]

Faith No More would be amazing and would be much better than any of the download sub headliners....

I really hope it is them.

[luckysalt]

thirded. They were amazing at download last yr. Make it so!

Crosses fingers, toes, brain

Do they fit in with the Thrash Hits comments though, i.e. "we never thought they'd play any show ever again"

yep id say so! after the 1997 split, everyone thought they would never play again. so they could be referring back to that. Or even after their tour last year and a few shows in the US this year i think everyones been expecting them to part ways again as lets be honest i think this reunioun has been mainly about getting a quick money fix!
