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.

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

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. ;)

Big enough to headline sonisphere, Sure. Or Wakestock. :P

Other than that they're more a support act.

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

Sweden Rock Festival Van Halen will NOT tour in Europe this summer

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.

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!

      Tour Announcements & Upcoming Gigs

      Hmm, weird- Rush are playing the Co-Op live on the 12th and the 14th, and Megadeth are the meat in that sandwich - so they have to roll everything in, roll it out again, only to roll it back in and then out - here's hoping for a prog hokey-cokey with all manner of bizarre time signatures and drum solos!

      Depends what you mean by seeing 'more stuff' about it.    I definitely don't trust the original Sun article.

      Sziget 2026

      By kristofm · Posted

      Chill. There is no chance Sziget will be cancelled by the government. Even the prime minister held a press conference today, where he confirmed this.   Magyar said they do not want to shut down the country or prevent events from taking place. He gave the example that vetoing an event would be like completely cutting off a large consumer’s electricity supply for the organizers. However, just as they have not taken such a measure against large consumers, they have not taken steps to cancel events either. (Magyar did not name a specific event, but he was presumably referring specifically to the Sziget Festival.) At the same time, Péter Magyar stressed that if disruptions occur in the system or the heatwave persists, it could become necessary to postpone or reschedule events (example: some Hungarian football games will probably be held in daylight, moved to a few hours earlier, to save energy), although he believes there is currently little chance of that happening. This is particularly true for events that rely entirely, or largely, on their own energy sources.

      If the campervan field residents aren’t allowed to cut through orchid they’ve got a brutal walk on their hands.   otherwise not too many surprises
