the offspring have announced dates in august which rules them out for reading/leeds, but they are still free on the sonisphere dates. looking more likely..it's either them or slipknot i reckon. can't think of many more bands who are currently active and would take up that slot.

Ok i have just read all the post on this thread And I have come to the conclusion that you all need to stop bitching about the line up and the fact that there are no announcements this week apart from the small one (Dead by April On the Bohemia stage) so if you don't like the line up why not just sell your ticket as im sure there will be loads of people great full to go if you don't want to

I know a few people who are going and they are all looking forward to it so either shut up or dont go

[biffoire]

I have just read your post, and decided if you dont like the pessimism you should either leave the thread or shut up. Or both

[tomisnothere]

I concur. It's pretty much down to one or t'other. Fingers crossed for the Offspring, I'm seeing Slipknot at Download, but they'd still be welcome. I can't believe Reading/Leeds have become so single minded they've not tried booking the Offspring and instead got the lackluster (to put it kindly) Bloc Party 3 years running.

[biffoire]

And bloc party are better than Offspring! :angry:

[t8yman]

To true!

There are very few complaints about the line up in this thread other than people being underwhelmed by fear factorys announcement. I'd hardly view it as pessimistic!

The main sentiment behind this thread I felt was people felt let down by the organisers and the fact they promised something they never delivered.

[she bangs the drums]

What do think we will get tomorrow?

The 2nd headliner? The Offspring or Rammstein would be good for me.

or/and

a few lower bands on the main stages and a few more for the 3rd stage?

I would guess the latter but I am hoping for both as its becoming a little boring/drawn out now, even Mrs She Bangs The Drums has given up on who it is going to be and she is normally really patient with line up announcements.

[jackthebassist]

i really want dinosaur jr somewhere on the lineup.

one of my favourite bands ever and they are in europe at the time, just been announced for pukkelpop in belgium 2 weeks after sonisphere. fingers crossed.

[edgar]

give me poison the well, the ghost of a thousand and the gaslight anthem. go on.

[Lithium05]

bloc party appeal to the general reading/leeds crowd more than the offspring though, so it makes perfect sense.

[kaosmark2]

Yeah but booking them for a third year in a row when their own fans have said they've been a bit shit the past two times is a bit much

I think a lot of people are waiting to see who the second headliner before deciding whether to commit. A lot hinges on it!

[she bangs the drums]

Sorry all quiet on the western front been a million miles away. Getting this announcement ready.

about 1 hour ago from web

Sounds like its going to be The Offspring?

[biffoire]

I hope it's a good un. DL weekend tickets have sold out so the pressure is on a wee bit now.

[scabbie]

When's the announcement due people?

Is it the radio 1 rock show tonight?

RAMMSTEIN would be the nuts. I'm a bit indiffrent about Offspring, they're ok but don't know what all the fuss is about

Pendulum have also been mentioned as a possibility?

think its on radio 1 rock show like the download ones have been...

rammstein would be fekking awesome, but i'd still LOVE the offspring, just one of those bands i've always loved, and i was one of those people who loved em at download last yr, singing every word to every song from start to finish

and pendulum? sub headliner? doesnt look so good when download have em on as 3rd...

anyone think we might get a couple of other bands and not the sub this eve? would just sum up soni really...

other bands that i reckon'd fit on that day... (think we can guess that the metallica day is pretty much sown up)

how about porcupine tree? touring etc this yr (not checked dates) and seemingly not doing download

wishful thinking i suppose...

Jay-Z? played a LOT wit linkin last couple yrs... may go down like a sack of shite at soni mind...

Chris Cornell. cracking live act, played wit LP a few times

Lostprophets. These'd be sub i reckon, but would be one in the eye for download...

[thegremlin_1999]

i'll be happy with cornell as long as he PROMISES not to play anything from his new album.

[kaosmark2]

it does sound better live than on record but i do agree with you!!

[thegremlin_1999]

So does the Temple of the Dog and Soundgarden stuff. Fill a 2.5 hour set with that please.
