I think the only way that set of headliners could work is if they really deliver a strong undercard with subs big enough on the Crue and KISS days that they're a draw on their own

Mötley Crüe // Judas Priest // Steel Panther

KISS // Marilyn Manson // Motörhead

Muse // Faith No More // Incubus

They might JUST about get away with that

Hmm. Marilyn Manson aren't one of those acts that are a draw on their own - as proven by Alt-Fest and Sonisphere 2012 when they were fourth down on the bill. I agree otherwise - Weezer or Pumpkins subbing Muse would probably do alright as well.

Did I miss the bit where Sonisphere became V festival? Man that would flop.

How come you think it would fail? Skrillex and Jack White are on the small side headliner wise but they're a damn sight better than KISS and Crue and a lot more compatible with Muse

Wouldn't be that popular amongst the Soni audience, Skrillex and Knife Party wouldn't be right for the festival and I'm not too sure if Jack White would be either. Even Muse would receive some backlash really.

To go from Iron Maiden, Metallica and The Prodigy to Skrillex, Jack White and Muse on the main and Slayer and Dreamtheater to Manic Street Preachers and Knife Party on the 2nd doesn't seem right

I think that's the point justanothername, that the festival diversifies to stop competing directly for the Download audience and appeal to a broader rock crowd. That being said, I think Skrillex and Knife Party would be a misstep in that sense. They appear at R+L and Glastonbury and stuff that has many more dance acts and stuff across the lineup whereas that lineup topped by a dance headliner wouldn't work.

I kinda of got that but it seemed quite a rapid change and I don't Soni are going to rush into diversifying the festival in an instant. But if the headliners were any of Muse, Jack White, Queens Of The Stone Age, System Of A Down, Slipknot, Biffy I'd think that do really well. Would stop me going to Leeds if they pulled off line ups like that every year

I actually would really like it if Soni diversified a bit and included more general rock acts.

Throw in some headliners like Muse, Foos, RHCP, etc.

Lower down acts like Pixies, Jack White, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, The Joy Formidable, Manic Street Preachers, Public Enemy, etc.

Obviously they book some of these acts already but yeah.

Would be wack.

Soni was just fine this year actually. No need to change too much. When it has failed it has failed because of a shite choice of headliners. There are too many more mainstream festivals, going that way will almost guarantee failure IMNSHO.

Not sure if that Apollo Stage would be much kop really, but it's the best I could think of without using any acts from my R&L and Download predictions :lol:

Then have something like The Offspring and Megadeth headlining the Saturn Stage.

    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
