I'd like to believe an announcement will come on Friday but I'm now working on the theory there will never be one.

Not sure if it has been mentioned but Godsmack have announced dates in Germany and Bulgaria around Sonisphere weekend.

Think they are free Friday and Sunday.

No Sonisphere Spain??

Guns N' Roses, and Marilyn Manson have been announced for new hard rock festival, Spain's Costa de Fuego.

Submotion Orchestra

The festival for 30,000 is the latest event to be announced by Maraworlds - the organisers of Festival Internacional de Benicassim, and will be held at the same site at the Benicassim Concert Venue near Valencia on Friday 20th and Saturday 21st July 2012, and will be devoted to the most energetic rock, hardcore and metal genres. Vince Power the Hop Farm organiser is the director of Maraworld.

The first acts confirmed are headliners Guns N Roses on Friday, and Marilyn Manson on Saturday. The line-up will feature three stages and more than 50 acts.

Two-day tickets include 4 days free camping from Thursday July 18th to Sunday 22nd. The campsite is located in the natural setting of the Las Palmas desert and is close and well connected to the beaches and village centre.

Early bird 4-day tickets are priced at £70 (including camping) for the first 5,000 tickets. To buy tickets

Sonisphere Spain has already been announced, though maybe that's why it was moved to May.

Seetickets just posted this on twitter:

Just been talking to our friends at Sonisphere. Excited about their plans for this year. Watch this space! Excited Face.

Dok - as in the guy who does all the art/websites and runs the official twitter/facebook page tweeted a hour ago "Jesus christ, we might have an on-sale date". So aye, looks like things are happening.

Inme have said they are playing 2 fests this year and one is metal...

[kipper64]

Wouldn't surprise me, they seem to love playing!

[luckysalt]

Soni leaks have said itll be within next week.

Tickets on sale next week

Fri tix £90

Sat or Sun £80 each

Full 3 days and camping £200

Sat n sun camping £165

Seems like Queen are Fri, FNM sat and Green Day sun

[kipper64]

I'm thinking it's BS, but if it's not, Queen's day being more expensive would make sense. Can't really see them selling day tickets right away though - they've never done that before, especially as arena capacity isn't that much higher than camping capacity. Unless they are increasing it by a bit, I know they did last year to get some day tickets sold (few thousand), and I know the festival manager said they are going to be changing the layout of the arena a bit possibly

[t8yman]

Makes loads of sense. Let the crumblies go on Friday, where day tickets will sell like hot cakes cos of queen, and leave a 2 day camping option for the rockers. Looks like AC/DC at download all over again.......

TITP do something similar where you can get sat/sunday tickets but I think Friday is only available to those there for the whole weekend. I don't think it'd be an impossible outcome, but we're believing a probably fake page here - one that said a month ago As I lay dying and Slash are playing - both who cannot play.

Machine Head, Combichrist, Wolfmother, Dagoba and Soulfly are supposedly being announced for Soni France tomorrow (amongst others I imagine), can see some of those ending up at the UK leg too, except Machine Head.

I saw Combichrist when they supported Rammstein at Wembley and I've been meaning to check them out again.
