The official forums have been getting quieter over the years, I blame facebook, most people just use the facebook pages to chat/vent anger/whatever these days. But yeah they need to get a move on with the next announcement, it's been 3 weeks now! With bands starting to leak they must have some stuff in the works for soonish.

There's a bunch of bands playing Dour festival the weekend after Sonisphere in Belgium that are likely I reckon. The Computers, Cerebral Ballzy, Atari Teenage Riot, Meshuggah, Suicidal Tendencies, Suicide Silence, as well as Baroness and Red Fang who are at Roskilde in Denmark (same weekend as Soni). Most/all of these are likely for the tents though, no idea on bigger bands

Ruisrock which is the same weekend as Soni has Children of Bodom and Explosions in the Sky. Both perhaps possible, don't really like CoB though and heard they were pants at DL last year.

Rancid's EU tour dates start on July 19th in Austria, so guess they could be in for a shout, as so far their only UK date is Rebellion fest in Blackpool which I doubt is exclusive. Though I guess they could be at Reading headlining Lock-Up, although I know in the past Mike Davies has said he couldn't get them for lock up as he doesn't have the budget for them.

I'm hoping for lots of decent UK ska punk bands like Skints & Lightyear on the smaller stages for the Sunday so I can go and see Faith No More & Refused without being bored all day long. Beatsteaks or Transplants wouldn't be a miss for me too.

Maybe Korn then since they are just about to finish their UK tour?

I was disapointed with them when I saw them last week, far too much of the new album (I did enjoy Way Too Far tho) and it took a hour to start the crowd properly going.

Ah gutted! Hope it isn't the case, because I was genuinely looking forwards to the line up. Guess we'll find out tomorrow :(

If this does happen to be the case here's hoping some of the bands still make it over, even for their own gigs. A FNM/Refused/Glassjaw gig would be the best thing ever!

I'd thought it would happen for a while but didn't put anything as I didn't want to sound like a troll. But when the first announcement was released it really divided the community and the 2 halves weren't that equal. There were people raving about the line up but not many.

A shame if it is cancelled but unfortunately not a surprise to me.

I would have thought so, guess it'd just depend on how strong a bill they think they have - and if they manage to do it in better time next year? Considering bands just got added to Soni Spain, I imagine most of the already announced Sonispheres are still going ahead too, so it's possibly just the UK one if it's true and not the entire tour...here's hoping it isn't true though!

Just how shit have the sales been then? Max capacity is 60k(?) and they've done well enough when around 40k went before so considering there is still 3 months to it was meant to happen I could imagine they've sold as little as 15k tixs.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
