2014

[kipper64]

Aye Skrillex is playing the Metallica day at Rock Werchter on the Thursday. Was rumoured to have been booked at some point for 2012, and Metallica love him, so could see him being considered for either their day (if he's free, can't be arsed checking), or the Friday.

Could also see Enter Shikari doing a one-off on their supposed break next year on Prodigy's day, or if they wanted a more diverse sub maybe someone like Dizzee Rascal, could argue he fits the 40 years at Knebworth theme as he subbed RHCP a few years ago - which Kili put on, as well as Wakestock which is another kili ran festival.

I haven't read this thread so sorry if this has already been answered, but do Soni usually do day tickets and if so when are they generally put on sale, and how much?

[kipper64]

Usually around March/April, aye. The camping capacity isn't far off the arena capacity so if it sells well they might delay them/limit them (like they did in 2011), but yeah should be some on sale around then.

Nice one, cheers.

Now to decide, day ticket for The Prodigy at Soni or Biffy at IOW?

[devilman]

Skrillex makes a lot of sense. There'll be plenty of Hellfest bands though surely?

[rawaudioinput]

I think if Skrillex does play it'd make far more sense for him to be a second stage headliner; moving off Skrillex's set up and moving on any of the headliners' would be a big ask

[mrtourette]

So I guess The Prodigy are part of the 'celebrating 40 years of festivals at Knebworth' thing from when they supported Oasis?

Can you even do a day visit to IOW? i.e watch a headliner and then get off the island?

[mrtourette]

You can do a day ticket and then stay the night in a B&B or hotel. I wouldn't sugeest trying to get off the the island the same night.

Just noticed this on the official site:

Sonisphere 2014 marks the return to Britain of the Sonisphere Festival which for the past five years has been the biggest pan-European festival, playing to audiences of over 1.5 Million fans.

The headliners look amazing, wish I was going to this, so tempted..

Ferries run pretty late anyway. People from my uni pop across there sometimes.

Could always use a yacht

Actually just seen this from the IoW Festivals website, i was goggling to see how actual residents get off the Island at night and it pointed out this:

If I come for the day, will I be able to get back to the mainland at the end of the night?

Yes, the Ferries are running a 24 hour service during the Festival weekend

Good lineup, but it doesn't really say 40 years of Knebworth.

[atomised]

Does Prodigy, Metallica & Maiden say 40 years of Knebworth?
