2014

Nah, that's Anthrax. At every Soni they played and the one year they weren't booked it got canned.

[zahidf]

Unfortunately, the rock/metal world being what it is, they'd be stuck for a headliner next year.

[the wonderwhy]

If the Iron Maiden, Metallica, System of a Down rumour is true then I can see it selling fairly well.

Could Nine Inch Nails sub still? They subbed last time and are still a Kili act who is touring around the same time.

Some festival maths throws up a few more interesting names to hope for:

• Motorhead (Musilac Festival the weekend after)
• Megadeth (Hellfest)
• Deep Purple (Hellfest)
• Alice Cooper (Sweden Rocks, played two Sonispheres before)
• Soundgarden (Auschwitz festival the weekend before)
• NoFX (Groezrock)
• Mastodon (they're just always doing Sonisphere)

Megadeth could be less likely as headlining bloodstock

They're the only BOA headliners not advertised as exclusives so it's possible I suppose.

On another note, could we get the thread in the Download boards merged into this one please? It's impossible to keep up!

[mrtourette]

Someone would just start another Soni thread in there.

THE PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE OF THESE FESTIVALS ARE MAGICALLY INTWINED AND DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO SEPARATE THEM

Frank Turner somewhere high up would be a decent booking too. Kili act I think & would open up the audience a bit more

[mrtourette]

Nobody tells Frank Turner he can't play Reading, not even Reading it seems.

Where has the SOAD rumour come from?

[ToffeePopcorn]

I have heard that a certain magazine thinks it is Metallica, Maiden, Sabbath

Just passing on what i've heard before people jump down my throat

Fake poster time...

[TenInchToenaiIs]

I'd go for that System day

[lharris92]

inb4 that is a "leaked poster"

The Sabbath rumours seem to make more sense than SOAD, as Sabbath are touring then and SOAD would have been a no brainer for RaR/RiP (although they could just not have been able to fit them in) - but those three, the all time three biggest metal acts, that'd be overkill for an event the size of Sonisphere wouldn't it?

[morland]

How true are the maiden/sabbath/metallica headliners stories? Would be one hell of a lineup

[the wonderwhy]

Surely they wouldn't go for all three... what would they do next year?

Or just abadon this one as Jeff doesn't post in the other.

Seriously considering this if Metallica and Maiden play being in Scotland is a bit shit in the sense that i've seen Metallica once and that was in 2009 so would quite like to see them again When about is this meant to be taking place? Also are Metallica dates in Scotland possible it's to my understanding that they are only doing festivals next year so would rule us out automatically.
