The latest announcement

some changes to the organisation of the poster have happened which may be quite interesting..

Before, NIN were on Metallica's side, leaving a big gap on Linkin Park's side, which left us to assume that the sub-headliner announced would be on the Linkin Park day. With the addition of Heaven & Hell, NIN are now on the Linkin Park side, while H&H are on the Metallica side.

As far as musical continuity is concerned, it makes more sense for H&H to be under Metallica and NIN to be under Linkin Park, and I'd assume that this is the plan.

Another thing which I find a bit strange is how there is big space next to the H&H and NIN logos, and the logos also seem quite small. I may be reading into things too much, but perhaps there are still a couple of big names to be announced?

Also, the Bohemia tent seemed to have headliners before - Corey Taylor and (if I remember right) Dirty Little Rabbits. Now they've just joined the collection of names.

Thoughts? Speculations?

I noticed the gap next to heaven and hell and wondered if it was deliberate or just bad a bad layout. Difficult to tell.

I've been overly critical of Soni in recent weeks, for a simple reason. They've shot themselves in a foot with a few things. We had the big delay, followed by a big announcement that never was, the way they've treated the early buyers with recent offers, speaking to Total Bull Shit and not shooting them, and signing Feeder but then hyping up their mellowest album, and initially one of the mellowest songs from that mellow album.

Only one of those faux pas was absolutely necessary (the offers), but they all annoyed people in spite of not actually doing a lot wrong. And I believe the other, little, needless things made the big hit that much more impactful.

Rant over.

This was a fantastic announcement, and in the wake of the free travel/guitar hero episode, well timed. Heaven and Hell I'm happy with, and assuming NIN do play the Linkin Park day, there's that much more reason for people to consider doing both days. A few weeks ago it looked like all the huge exclusives were going to play the Metallica day, and that while LP are massive, not many people were going to pay north of £150 to see them. I really want to know whether Bohemia clashes with the main stages or not, there's quite a lot that I

I'm pretty sure the gap is just due to layout. In fairness there's not really a lot they can do about it. LP and Metallica's logos just happen to be wider than NIN's and H&H's, and they can't make the headliner's logos smaller than the sub headliners. Besides, there are two stages, and two headliners, so surely it follows that there are two sub headliners?

Anyone know whether or not Bohemia clashes with the main stages? I guess to an extent I don't mind either way, mainly want to know as it'll help me decide how early to get there (and I guess in turn, how much money they'll potentially make out of me- I always try to be fair but I'm ever the cynic )

NIN are playing the sunday.

I didnt like the announcement, only coheed interest me.

If I thought I could sell my ticket I would, cos apart from NIN and mastodon - there is nothing that I couldnt do without this year.

And I also feel the "quality not quantity" mantra has gone out of the window.
