[jackthebassist]

well... i guess we only have to wait 3 more hours...

do we think they will announce everything in one go? or in stages, like say, reading/leeds?

[luckysalt]

I think its a good chance you're just getting those four acts announced [Metallica, Linkin Park, Mastodon & Lamb of God]

But who knows?

[darrenbha]

Maybe the 4 at midnight and then a couple more later tomorrow. Plus of course ticketing details

[biffoire]

I'm there. No question. Preying there is camping. My guess is there will be as it's not like the robbie gigs. There was due to be camping at a ministry of sound event there years ago and it got pulled because of foot and mouth so shows camping has been arranged there before.

Did someone on here say they had confirmed camping. The logistics of not having camping would be a nightmare!! Fingers crossed.

[luckysalt]

Yes there's camping

[biffoire]

Cheers man

Right the homepage is

http://www.sonispherefestivals.com/

then if you put say

http://www.sonispherefestivals.com/lineup/metallica

the IE bar will say line up - Metallica

thus proving thats there a page for the artist is just hasn't been activated to be seen by the public

If however you type in for example

http://www.sonispherefestivals.com/lineup/greenday

it will just say sonsiphere, and nothing about the artist in the IE bar

Could be any number of bands announced, but maybe those 4 are the only ones they've done up the individual pages for so far. Or mebbe they gonan announced these 4, see what download does, then announce more when download announces next etc. Sneaky.....

[darrenbha]

I reckon they'll split the announcement either side of downloads which according to the download thread is 745pm on zane lowe

[metallimuse]

Yeah baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so there!My phone broke yesterday though so i cannae text any of ma mates about this although they all know to check tomorrow but...DAMN!I'm just rockin' out to 'Tallica,a nervous ball of energy because i can't talk to anyone about it haha!

[metallimuse]

Bit odd announcing at midnight though isn't it?Or maybe it will be morning in one of the other countries the festival is playing to or late evening or something?

[metallimuse]

Are we sure that the camping applies to Knebworth?

If the site is a general site for all countries then maybe the ones abroad have camping but not us?

Knebworth hasn't had camping before to my knowledge,even back in the day when it was a rock festival venue.

[crosswillcastyourshadow]

yeah, still unsure about camping at Knebworth, they might have bought up some land or something. My mate is from Welwyn... a few miles from there & went to wild in the country (when it was on). I'd ask him about it, but its pretty pointless now considering there's 80 minutes to the announcement lol.

Speaking of which,

I tell you what'd be funny, If we all sat glued to our screens, sipping coffee, speed typing on here, waiting 'till 12, only to find that the countdown was only to when they gave us a date for an announcement.

[darrenbha]

I'm pretty sure the point i can reach on the site splits into countries so i'm sure there'll be country specific info as was referred to by another poster earlier

[Dave]

I am not aware of any land being bought up as such for camping. They do really look after the place, hence why I would be really surprised if it happened ... they COULD have camping, will have to wait and see.

[darrenbha]

Not long to wait now tho.

[Dave]

Also wonder what kind of capaticy it might be?

Robbie W was 120,000 each night or something silly. Can only see this being about half that though.
