It's funny because you truly believe it... 

Basically admitting he guesses every time, yet pretends to be in the know. Proper hatstand.

I know this thread is dead but I have no idea why they wouldnt do Sonisphere this year. Plenty of bands touring that havent been snapped up elsewhere. 

For example something like:

Rammstein, Evanescence, Linkin Park, Blink 182, Red Hot Chili Peppers and Pendulum as a top six. Then Alice Cooper and Marilyn Manson to headline second.

I know I'm dreaming but seems a bit of a lost oppurtunity.

thing is, those are next year's bands for Download. :P

The simple answer seems to be that there's either (take your pick) too few bands to keep two 'heavy' festivals fresh and appealing, or there's too few festival goers with likes in those directions to keep two festivals full each and every year.

Thats fair. They both seemed to do well in 09 and 10 but after that the years that Soni ran then Download didnt seem to do too well and the years Download did well then Soni didnt even bother running. Its a shame as it was a great fest.

I don't think the house is in order to facilitate a relaunch. Soni isn't even going on in a small way on the continent this year, DEAG have binned off a few festivals they've launched recently and Stone Free seems to just be a Richie Blackmore gig.

Obviously things might change in 2018 when Metallica are touring. :P

Ah yes Metallica the saviours of the festival. I love the band but it was a tad ridiculous to have them headline 3/4 fests.

Nah, you just get half a line up for the same price at both download and soni whenever it runs. They're can only be one, which one it is I'm not really bothered as I like both. However Soni always offered me less choice to watch, so I want to download if I was only doing one.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
