2012 Lineup

[eFestivals]

I think he's saying that Soni France are announcing "2mora" and therefore whatever they announce should be taken as what Soni UK will announce.

there's a decent chance of that being true on the basis of what's happening previously, but it doesn't necessarily follow that that will always be the case.

And even if Soni have a deliberate policy of trying to make it the case, I think there's a lesser chance of it being true this year. Because Soni have by all accounts struggled to find their 3rd UK headliner this year, they might have had to take what was available and not what they'd like to do.

After all, music management is usually done by territory, so there might be already-in-place contractual reasons why the headliner they've got for one can't be the headliner they have for the others. The later the headliners have been found, the more likely this is to be the case.

For example, if (say) Soni France announces Green Day, it might be the case that Green Day's (supposed) September arena dates exclude them from being able to play Soni in the UK.

Everything will depend on contracts. Don't take the Soni France announcement as absolutely being the same as for the UK.

----------

All that aside, I'm of the belief (tho without solid info for it) that Soni France won't have Queen with Adam Lambert.

So.. does Soni UK get announced too or are people just guessing they'll be the same again

Didn't Soni france only have two days though last year with the big 4 and slipknot? So if their's doesn't have Queen with Adam Lambert it could have Faith No More and Green Day?

No idea. Until eariler today I didn't even know that there was a Soni France.

The thing that puts me off Download is the undercard, it's always a load of really heavy stuff which doesn't do it for me.

[Hawky]

It isn't that heavy the undercard,

[Mouseboy11]

Trivium, Machinehead, Lamb of God, Nightwish and Killswitch just ain't for me really. Alot of bands like that I can't really get into.

[Hawky]

Ah fair enough

[PurpleFire]

Downloads campsites are terrible and has nothing on leeds! There is so much Leeds offers. Im not a metal head though and thats proberbly wont go again!

[VCK]

What puts me off Download is how they seem to book the same line-up every year.

[TYLER_4]

id love to try downloads but none of my mates seem to have the same taste in music as me.

Great little announcement from Download, five out of the six I like. Don't care for Opeth, haven't listened to that much Nightwish, and will have to miss Killswitch due to the Biffy clash, but will definitely be seeing Shinedown, NOFX and Black Veil Brides.

Trivium are getting kinda fucked over, pushed down to sixth on main now after previously being as high as third main/second stage headliner. What's up with that? Didn't think they'd lost a load of popularity...
