I really hope it does go ahead as download needs a kick up the ass after filling the line up with the same old past it acts. Booking a trio like pearl jam, biffy clyro and bmth would give it a different feel to download and hopefully make it viable. Add the likes of volbeat, weezer, killswitch, the wonder years, basically just make a fest like reading was in the early 00's

I didn't realise they were exclusive to BOA.

Hmm. It does say "Bloodstock will be the place to see them next summer" but that's not definitive.

Just looking at that BOA announcement; I swear the members of Mastodon, Ghost, Gojira and Metallica must be sick of the sight of each other by now. Every festival that has one of those seems guaranteed to have at least another one on the same day. Good management I suppose.

Patience. Bands aren't ready yet.

Thing is, punters don't have that much patience and have limited cash.  If Soni wants the cash of someone who can only afford one festival, then they need to get their fingers out and announce soon.  DL will likely have another announcement before Xmas to pick up on the pressie / Xmas money market and by then Soni will be dead and buried.  That will mean it'll happened once in 5 years - not coming back from that, sadly.

Black_Crow - do you actually have anything solid on Soni, or are you just a fanboi troll?

Just wait and see what Sonisphere have planned. No one will be disappointed.

Weird seeing these two accounts interact.

I'm surprised BOA didn't get Ghost, as well as Mastodon and Gojira, would have thought that package would make sense, I'm not sure Gojira are big enough to sub either, unless a band dropped out.. Seems to be quite a few people thinking that the last headliner is Volbeat. Wonder what happened to that guy who said they were definitely playing high up at Download.

When bands are announced they say if they're exclusive or not, for instance in the presser this week, Satyricon got announced as only UK show, whereas Gojira and Anthrax didn't. Makes you wonder if they're doing double duty.

If Black Crow has anything, and I have less faith in him as time goes on, he seems to be suggesting that a, or some, band has agreed to do Sonisphere (or a Knebworth based festival) but this will not be announced until the band is ready to announce their full tour dates.

If you've had an eye on the runners, the band that may be holding this up is either Guns N Roses and/or Tool. If either confirm with somewhere else or their own shows, I think you can safely kiss Sonisphere goodbye.

He has nothing, has never had anything and will likely never have anything. He's been proven wrong every year except 2014 when he got lucky. Even gazza has a better strike rate. Come to think of it there's quite a few similarities with him too.

It's getting to crunch time, if bands aren't ready, they will move on.

I did a thing with some names scraped together that are already announced as being around but not seemingly doing Download or anything else exclusively.

BRING ME THE HORIZON, Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, Mastodon

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, Limp Bizkit, The Offspring, The Hives
- Saturn: Slayer, Anthrax

DEEP PURPLE, Steel Panther, Tenacious D, Of Mice & Men
- Saturn: Billy Talent, NOFX

Would that be worth putting on?

Rock in Vienna did,RIR and Rockavaria announced him but not as headliner afaik so still have 2 TBA.

 

As I said in my last post though I believe offers are still out with some acts who have yet to say no, but it's getting to crunch time and if they don't say aye or no soon it'll be a complete write-off. Veeeeerry unlikely to be yes's at this stage too.

    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • 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
