Are Soundgarden so nailed on for Sonisphere that they don't even make this list?

Hmm I haven't put them in there cus the reunion has been going for a while now and theres been nothing to say they're even gunna come to the UK, AC said last year they were putting Europe on hold. Its not that I think theyre nailed on for Soni, Im just not sure that they're gunna come over at all, theres nothing that makes me think theyre gunna be at Download at the moment and Cornell has just done another solo album.

I ain't just sticking anything up on there, thats why I give my reasons too.

I'd be amazed if they didn't. They're headlining Big Day Out in Australia at the start of next year and will have a new album out in the Spring. As for putting Europe on hold, I thought that was just until after they'd toured the States (which they've done now) and the fact they're going to Australia shows they're open to hitting the road in a big way. Although as you say anything they do depends on his solo stuff and anything Pearl Jam do.

The Soni bookers have heavily hinted towards Soundgarden for next year.

I'd expect returns in 2012 from Hyro Da Hero & Letlive. Cancer Bats are currently in the studio, after playing a low slot at Soni this year I expect them at Download next year.

Architects are supposed to have a new album out early next year, i'd say they could be up there somewhere. And A day to remember must be likely? Considering they've played a few times before, and havent played any UK festivals yet off their latest album?

Really want to go to that but none of my mates are in to those bands. Might try to grab a cheap ticket off eBay for myself closer to the time.

Aaron Lewis off of Staind said during their Birmingham show that they would be doing either Download or Soni next year.  He also mentioned June, so I figure that DL is more likely.  Plus Andy told a friend of mine he would have them back when they recorded another album and they just released a new album.

I am yes, I did the same with Metallica yesterday. Its gotta be Sabbath, would Download really try and announce a different act the day Black Sabbath's world tour is announced, it would be massively overshadowed.
