[HoTWire]

That is a bit cryptic. I wonder what it is about?

[zahidf]

Guns N’ Roses date confirmed for Manchester Arena for Tue 29th May 2012, tickets onsale on Friday 2nd March

Guess that rules them out for Sonisphere?

Still no At The Drive In or Refused!

Unless it's just the 1 northen date so it wouldn't compete with Soni.

Maybe, but a) onsale too close to Sonisphere onsale date and would they come in and out of UK in that time period?

[thisIlove]

They've done it before when they played R&L, they played in Aug toured the rest of Europe and then came back 2/3 months later. Personally I don't rule them in or out because of this but it would be more telling if there was more dates or even a south/London date and not just the one.

Not sure his voice could hack 3 nights in a row, most of the France tour has a few days inbetween gigs.

Ooh I see we've got one of the people playing at Sonisphere in our studio today. Sadly I won't be here to see him.

[luckysalt]

Sonileaks have reposted the poster with top bands all in own logos, as a screenshot from soni website

[TYLER_4]

i dont know whether to trust sonileaks

[kipper64]

The website screencap is BS. "Drinking Age is stipulated by Finnish law", Bars don't open till 2pm, no alcohol allowed into the festival. Uh-huh...

[Justiceforcedave]

I'm still hearing Kiss....

[lharris92]

sonileaks is a good troll, yet not good enough. it also says both days.. so back down to a 2day event???

[AcademicPistol]

...from where?

[Luke Ccfc Britton]

he also added the same poster on twitter yesterday and had spelt gojira wrong.

[she bangs the drums]

yeah its going to be bullshit but you have to hand it the person for persistence!
