Yeah it doesn't seem there's any obvious candidates for Sonisphere as most headliners at European festivals are or will probably be bands in the top two at Download or ones that aren't big enough here, or both obviously. Plus Metallica have been confirmed as playing nowhere else than Der Ring/Rockavaria/Rock in Vienna. There could be headliners being held back like SOAD we've heard news on and I guess Blink, Chilis and GNR are supposed to have albums out but I don't think it'll happen, personally. The new owners have a good opportunity to bring something new to the table with the venue and the booking power though so maybe if Sonisphere doesn't return something else will.

Don't kill me if it's wrong :)

Shikari are the Sunday headliners. Don't know the other 2 days.

I would rather not say how I've heard this, all I will say is I'd hang whatever little reputation I have on these boards on this being correct.

Also Gene Simmons leaked the Sunday lineup on his Twitter.

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
