"Sonisphere Festival We will announce, we have been waiting on Admin stuff for yonks. Doing our head in too.. Pointless saying 'soon'... We will just act. lots of love Team Soni"

I just ran it through google translate from festival organiser spin to english, it comes out

"we've only got 2 headliners, and one of them is shite, we really dont know what the fuck to do..........

(EDITED TO ADD, FOLLOWING MAJOR MISSING OF THE POINT IN SUBSEQUENT POSTS)

CAN I JUST POINT OUT THAT THE ABOVE LINE IS A JOKE, NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Word I've heard is that there was no headliner on the horizon.

I cannot believe they don't know who to get I mean there are loads of amazing bands to get surely.

A lot of people would be pretty annoyed.

[t8yman]

Ha ha - I wonder what the response would be now if they just announced Queen with Adam Lambert after all the waiting?

If they're stuggling for a 3rd headliner then why don't they give someone their first shot at it, like Biffy last year A7X aren't doing anything this summer are they? So that rules them out. Personally I'd get BFMV, they'd do a good job imo. Failing that theres always Paramore.... Or Machine Head maybe? They're playing sine of the euro Soni's and it'd be better than having no headliner.

I can see it being bullet with them saying they're giving them a leg up ala biffy. To be honest, I'd sooner watch Bullet than Kiss.

That is one of the things I like about Sonisphere they give bands chance to headline it and it has paid off so far with Bify Clyro last year.

Yeah I am sure that in years to come that Sonisphere will do a similar thing to Download & Leeds because they know they have to try something new every year. So far Sonisphere has got Queen and Faith No More headlining and that could make an opputunity for another band that hasn't headlined any festival yet.

[biffoire]

The trouble is, theres a difference between giving an up and coming band a break and booking a non headline band due to lack of better options.

I can see the later occuring and being dressed up as the former if I'm being honest. But see what happens.

[5co77ie]

that Flash Gordon style Sonisphere postcard was as good as official confirmation of Queen, coupled with the Daily Star thing

[Marker]

Yeah I agree biffoire I mean the third headliner could be someone that has never headlined eg BFMV and A7X. I can not see A7X headlining because they did say that there not touring and BFMV are working on an album but you never know.

[jump]

Probably nothing but Sonic Summer have announced Adam Lambert (without Queen) and Green Day.

[5co77ie]

I don't think the fact American bands aren't touring will mean they won't play. There's a general concensus in the States that European tours are toxic with the dangers of an economic meltdown meaning they don't want to invest in a full blown tour - forinstance Metallica saying they'll play earlier in the year and the scramble as all the European Sonisphere's got moved a month or two earlier. However a one off payment by festival (s) will still look attractive for a big act that can put either a festival tour or a single lucrative appearance together. This doesn't mean I think AX7 will play BTW.

Yeah I know where your coming from but who knows I heard yesterday from Thrash Hits that Kiss are going to be the third headliners but I could of sworn they cancelled there tour this year.

Kiss looks unlikely as Gene's doing that Titans Of Rock tour in April apparently:

Gene Simmons come to Lima with former members of Guns N 'Roses, Metallica and Mötley Crüe

Bassist of Kiss tour in South America prepares Titans of Rock, his new super banda

Gene Simmons, "The Devil" by Kiss. (AP)

Gene Simmons , bassist of Kiss , come to Lima on April 19. This was announced by the specialized web DeuceNews .

The show will take place on the esplanade of the Monumental and would be one of the first concert that Simmons offered in the world with Titans of Rock, his new super banda.

And because we say super banda will consist of legendary musicians who have joined groups like Metallica , Collective Soul , Def Leppard , Guns N 'Roses , among others.

Duff McKagan (Guns N 'Roses), Joe Elliot (Def Leppard), Gilby Clark (Guns N' Roses), Ed Roland (Collective Soul), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple), Matt Sorum (Guns N 'Roses), Jason Newsted (Metallica), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row) and Vince Neil (Mötley Crüe) would be the members of this group.

As recalled, Gene Simons arrived in Peru in 2009 for a concert with the band Kiss. On that occasion, gave an interview to El Comercio that you can re-readhere.

I don't see how it makes Kiss unlikely? It's in April and it features people like Sebastian Bach, who are doing EU festivals in June/July...
