no, I'm entirely suggesting that, seriously - if you think soni have some incredible pact with Rammstein you are deluding yourself. and if you cant see that 2 festivals of this kind are diluting an already shallow gene pool you are blind.

its not the fucking x-files you know.

RHCP for Soni France I guess: Soni tweeted "Do the French like spicy food?/Juste pour savoir... Les Francais aiment-ils manger épicé?". Seeing as Soni Turkey was rumoured to have them and was also rumoured to be the same weekend as France/the UK, makes sense. Of course it doesn't mean anything for Soni UK, but I guess Evanescence aren't headlning after all.

I don't think your wrong in your 2nd bit but i think you are in your 1st bit. Download got Aerosmith - never seemed likely, they got AC/DC - even less likely, they never got Rammstein as it was never the right time? Come off it, for all the time they rarely play the Uk they could never arrange a tour around making an appearance there like they did Soni? I'm not saying Soni has some sort of thing over them, I'm saying if Download bothered them, they'd have done it.

you couldnt be more wrong, rammstein arent a convention band, they dont do press, they do hardcore porn promo videos, they do a boxset full of dildos, they didnt WANT to arrange a tour around any festivals, they CHOSE not to, the stars aligned for soni, do you think soni have yoda booking the bands or something?

download if anything has more pull, the bigger crowd, the bigger history, and the more historic venue. if soni wasnt around that year, they would MAYBE have done download if they felt like it. or they may have just done their own tour, or they may have done fuck all.

It's a little strange that they didn't just announce them today for the French Sonisphere?

Plus unless the 3rd headliner is a big name, I don't understand from a Killi business sense why RHCP are not headlining the UK version instead of playing their own gig?

No idea. I think Chilis wanted to do their own thing, 2 Open air dates was very optimistic though - even though their tour sold very well last December. Should have just did Sunderland and Sonisphere or Knebworth and Sonisphere, 2 open air dates, especially both being in England wasn't a good idea. I don't know how well tickets have sold, seen people saying they are selling poorly but I don't think there's been any evidence of that other than the fact it hasn't sold out. Either way I'd love them at Sonisphere still, was thinking of going to the knebworth or Sunderland date, but them at Sonisphere would save me the effort :P

Nope but thank you for your concern anyway.

Are you on drugs and hallucinated I wrote something I didn’t? Honestly what I did say was that 1. Rammstein had never played Download, 2. Download have wanted them to play for years.

Yep Rammstein have never played an UK fest before Soni and there’s been talk of them quitting but so what? It doesn't change that they have been on the fest circuit, toured in the summer and played in the UK before 2010 and when it was 2010 they didn’t play Download. So yeah, I do think Soni manage to pull a trick off in getting them.

I would agree that Download have been trying to get them (going off that they have been the most wanted band in polls for festivals such as Download and Nova Rock) and if they have not they certainly should have been trying.

I would guess it just hasn't been the right time for Rammstein to play Download, I don't think they actually care too much about playing festivals never mind an English one, they have never been a band that has felt the need to conform with what every other band does, sing in English, play the festival circuit , Sonisphere was just just lucky I guess and it was good timing and for me a massive thing to see the band playing at a UK festival

It also takes 10-12 hours to set up the current stage for a Rammstein gig so this also has to be factored into why they don't play festivals on a regular basis.

Looking forward to seeing them again in Manchester in a few weeks time.

yep, it's come from that same poster.

My putting it up is actually nothing to do with me personally. I've been passed a garbled msg, which included a supposed guarantee that it's genuine that came from someone else (a media source) down the line before it got to that msg that was passed to me.

I've checked nothing out about it myself.

Hence why I said 'think', based only on what I've been told. It could be wrong, and one particular thing about it does suggest to me that it might be.

    • If you had to come through the fence after coming down the hill if you weren’t already down the hill then you were probably in general. From there the blocks of toilets, showers and water points aren't far at all and to your right is aldi. I know of the lake but apparently it fills up super quick and is noisy and loads of bugs....I got bitten as it was lol. But I joined a solo camp WhatsApp group so followed them.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.
