Which was said how long ago?

and means they won't play Sweden Rock, doesn't mean they won't do the Sonisphere tour.

A band that headlined Reading in 08, Sonisphere 09, Sonisphere 11 and now Download 12 due to bringing their tour forward a year, they have over done it and really do need to go away for a while.

A band who's frontman can't handle a full headlining set anymore, can barely talk and stage show consists of barely being able to pull down his trousers and throwing a bucket of water, whilst shouting "Come On". The general public only really know 2-3 songs and judging by their show, 6 years ago, was extremely boring.

and the last band who have headlined the 2nd stage every year up until now, are headlining due to Copping blowing his load on the other 2 headliners.

Yeah awesome.

[Black_Crow]

Compared to what soni has rumoured, yes, it is.

Also, at least Prodigy have headlined before. 2nd stage or not, more than biffy fucking clyro did. you know your in trouble when the organisers start talking about giving the smaller bands a break because they can't book enough actual headliners.

[biffoire]

Big enough to headline sonisphere, Sure. Or Wakestock.

Other than that they're more a support act.

(Soni rumours I've seen so far have been Green Day, Kiss, Soundgarden, Van halen.)

I'm guessing that's info they have as a result of trying to book them.

There's quite a few angles around that which could lead to it being completely wrong - the main one being that agent's will often spout any old shite to people who approach them to book an act. Sat where I am I get to hear loads of them all the time.

That's not me saying that's definitely wrong. But it might be.

I think people need to calm down a bit over the dl/soni rivalry, particularly since soni have announced fuck all so far.

I await with baited breath the soni announcement as I am going again- and probably giving dl a miss due to not enjoying last year. The weather was fucking dreadful - not the organisers fault obviously- but a fucking drag none the less!

Both fests have their merits, and both have their faults.

Where has the Faith No More rumor come from? I'm happy about it (just the possibility of them continuing) but I don't want to get my hopes up.

[lharris92]

basically a french radio station apparently leaked them for Sonisphere France which is the same weekend as the UK one so thats where it has come from

Korn? New album to promote but just played Download last year and haven't done Soni yet.

[jump]

Rammlied (UK Rammstein tribute band) have dates for both Download & Sonisphere on their website. Not sure if that means they are going as band or as part of the crowd tho.

[hitmanhague]

Does anyone actually have a clue who the headliners will be or are we just guessing at this stage?

Seems odd that no really solid rumours are out there. Either Sonisphere are doing a great job of keeping it under wraps or they haven't bloody booked anyone yet.

That Scuzz thing the other night was a joke too.

I'm still going to both Download and Sonisphere but I want to know what I'm paying for dammit!

[she bangs the drums]

I thought they pretty much covered every act linked to headlining - in fact if only one of those is the headliner - I do wonder who the other two will be.

[hitmanhague]

It is driving me nuts now, it makes me worry for the festival if I'm honest.

Although I'd be happy with most of those bands as a headliner so there's still hope!

[biffoire]

I think Kiss FNM and Queen.

[hitmanhague]

KISS would be fine and I love FNM so I'd be happy with that!

Queen, I don't know - take out possibly the greatest front man of all time and what are you left with? A diet coke Queen.

[TYLER_4]

KISS seem very likely. just hope its not tool cause i cant go and would hate to miss out on them.

[she bangs the drums]

Maybe this is why the festival has been delayed announcing........
