It's really changed my opinion of MH. I absolutely love their music, but I think they could've come to some form of agreement...

Also, if they were so commited to their musical cause (as oppose to money) they would've done download, and if they were so arsed about posisition on stage, done download as they were offered a higher place there...

I think Sonispheres organisers were a bit lacking in tact when they made the decision, but i suppose in the grand scale of things, Limp Bizkit are a more well known band than Machine Head (even if LB music leaves a bit to be desired) so what were the organisers meant to do?

I am quite concerned as to the way this festival is going though, as Fear factory and MH were 2 of the bands i really wanted to see, and the lineup looks quite empty, and certainly lacking the whole *quality* promised, and its only like 2/3 weeks away......

Just hope slipknot are there, then might cheer a few people up (including myself)

Corey taylor seems a more reasonable guy than Rob flynn anyway lol...

I noticed this earlier aswell.

Whats also important to note that would fuel this rumour...

Sonisphere said they had an interesting chat with them, and Phil. Machine Head said they would be over for the K! awards and were gonna "check in" to Sonisphere UK to check it out too... Maybe they saw a lot of backlash from fans, and decided that the fans were more important than lineup placement.

Like I posted in the other thread, possible bands could be Hives, Prodigy, Pendulum, or Slipknot.

They're all free on the Sunday and have played some of the other Sonisphere festivals in other countries, but fear Prodigy and Slipknot are wayyyy too big to play that slot, so I'd say Pendulum.

Although if it is Prodigy or Slipknot it would be insanely good, but I'm not gonna get my hopes up :(

The fact they're still not announced does point to it being someone from a festival that's yet to take place though, most likely Leeds/Reading. God I'm starting to think it might actually be Prodigy now.

I'm guessing not announcing them until the day they play wouldn't affect exclusivity too much as it's too late for it to affect ticket sales by then, so nobody who was in two minds would choose to go to Sonisphere instead of L/R because they could see Prodigy there instead.

    • Proper loser behaviour wearing a tee like that. Me and my mate play a game every year called ‘Boomer Tees’ and there’s some gems every time. 
    • Naah, she plays 4 dates in Barcelona in early May 
    • It'd be new album stuff if it were to happen I think.  First 2027 headliner in the bag also?
