New Announcement...

I think 2 day tickets would be a bit pointless though, at that point you may as well just do the whole weekend as there's bound to be something for you :P

Turbonegro have some festival news coming up - seems likely they'll be in tonight's announcement, ex label mates with Hives and Refused, so can see it happening

Saturday, buddy!

Electric Wizard, Kevelertak, Glassjaw and HR playing albums in full, are all big yes's from myself. The rest is alright, not too much grabbing my attention, Skindred and BSC should be fun, though to be fair a lot of the bands are smaller stages in this one it seems, Alestorm opening Saturn should be great fun as well after their reception last year. Overall pretty solid announcement, a few nice surprises, but nothing massive other than GJ, HR and Electric Wizard for me!

Legendary post-punk heroes NEW MODEL ARMY join the SONISPHERE cast for a very special late night set on Friday night in BOHEMIA after headliners KISS wrap up the APOLLO stage.

CROWBAR:their exclusive festival appearance will test BOHEMIA’s structural integrity to its limits.

well that aint gonna sell any more tickets is it?

Ive got 13 mates who were waiting for the initial announcement, none of them are going now, and this wont change that. and whats with the "playing x in full" trend? its pointless, unless you are metallica sized. even mastodon doing the hunter is a bad idea imho, and I love that album.

I think I was one of the few people who were really happy with the first announcement....but this one is just so "Meh".

Would have thought that the Soni crew would have wanted to announce at least one other big big band to shift some more tickets. This feels like it should have been a third of forth announcement.

Meh, to be honest I've given up on Soni now and just checking to see what bands are announced to rule out of other fests and hopefully the ones that are announced will help keep tix prices cheap so I can go on Sunday for Refused.

Still some decent spaces to fill - only one act for Apollo in the last announcement - so a couple to go for Sat and Sun, plus the special guests on the Fri. Prob another 3 or so on Saturn too.

But agree, the announcement largely was a bit of a let down. Some good acts there, and fills out the fest nicely for me, but was hoping for some of the bigger names.

I can't say I am that arsed with the latest announcement, I finally saw Glassjaw at Leeds Festival last year and have to say I was really disappointed as they just played new material and b-sides and the crowd was one of the smallest in the NME tent for the whole weekend, hopefully they will be much better here.

Anyone think they will be giving away tickets this year like they did in the early years?

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
