Lineup 2015

[Andre91]

Ladder goat!

[Tobieski]

Looks like Foo Fighters at back in the autumn, where to we think they'll be next year?

[PDAD]

A few stadiums?

[justanothername]

Can defiantly see an arena tour by Foo Fighters. Maybe Download or Glasto will get them

[mattgimmeshelter]

It wouldn't shock me if R&L played it safe and rebooked them

[PDAD]

2002...2005
2012...2015

From the FYF poster Matt posted in the other thread, it looks like The Strokes might be having a proper go of 'reuniting' rather than just the hometown shows.

So it seems like we could have some popular bands in Foos, Muse, G'n'R, Kasabian, Chilis, Strokes, Metallica and the Stone Roses doing new album tours. Could be a strong year.

[the wonderwhy]

Foo Fighters would be the ideal headliner for Soni to go out and get next year I reckon

Nah, I think Foos will wanna do something bigger

I won't be surprised if (due to someone pulling out) glasto finally give them the call.

Apparently they cost too much, nearly as much as Soni's entire line up budget I think

Really? That's very hard to believe

[dentalplan]

I guess that's an exaggeration but they are supposed to be notoriously expensive.

Not sure why but I can see them and Muse vying for the same marquee spots at festivals like IOW and Glastonbury. Not so much Download and Soni.

[Yellow_Fellow]

It's not an exaggeration

[the wonderwhy]

I think Soni need to get someone like Muse or Foos to stop them just being a carbon copy of Download again, because that's ultimately where they fucked up last time.

Done an alright job with mixing up the undercard this year, just need to do it with the headliners too.

EDIT: Not arguing with them being expensive, but there's no way they could cost more than Metallica, Iron Maiden and The Prodigy combined.

That would have been a smart direction to take, but if you look at this year's headliners then it's obvious they haven't.

I reckon they'll have Slipknot while they're too recent for Download and Guns N' Roses while no other fests will touch them. Download will end up with Metallica and two others like BFMV and someone else shit and still win out massively because of Metallica.

Hope Muse do Glasto. Wanna see them.

[rawaudioinput]

I'd say Muse at Glasto is one of the most likely things to happen next year headliner-wise

[justanothername]

If Sonisphere got Slipknot, Queens Of The Stone Age and System Of A Down (if they tour, but they probably wont) it be great!

But they do need to change next year or it going to go down the same path as it did last time. Would be a bit controversial but getting Foals to headline (or something similar) would be the right direction in my opinion

Foals would literally have no crossover at all with anyone at Soni.

If they want to move away from Download they should have someone like Foos/Muse headline, and have acts like Pixies/MSP/Jack White on the undercard.

Well there is me, and I think there is a bit more than you think

Anyway Jack White and Pixies are good shouts for the under card but I'm not to sure on MSP though.

Just imagine.....

Queens Of The Stone Age

Jack White

Slipknot

Placebo

System Of A Down

NIN

And just for you Will change Slipknot for Tool

Well MSP have much greater crossover with rock fans than Foals.

Go to a Foals gig and it'll be 99% lads and indie w*nkers. You're not gonna get someone there in a Sabbath t-shirt.

[the wonderwhy]

Queens probably aren't going to be touring next year. Think Foos/Muse, Slipknot, System would be a very good trio to get. Maybe even give Biffy another go?

I'm going to buy a Sabbath t-shirt when I see them then go to a Foals gig in it just to prove you wrong.

I'll wear an AC/DC one

[TheSilence]

Are Kiss still a thing? I seem to remember them being on a few festival bills when I was a bit younger though they may be me imagining things
