You mean you assume they are, as everything you "hear" has proven time and time again to be bollocks.

I've got more right than I have wrong.

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.

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.

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.

Are they still working on it or are they now working on 2018's event?

Wash your mouth out! The mighty Blue Oyster Cult are headlining a stage. Ok, I suspect it's small and finishes way before Rainbow but BLUE OYSTER CULT!!!!!!11111OMGWTFLOL1111!"!!

Its a big shame soni died. With BST and glastonbury now being the only major festivals not associated with live nation it would be great for there to be some competition.  

[lightning1000]

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.

Imagine if a 2 day fest popped up with Metallica, NIN, Alice in Chains, Ghost and Deftones in early July.....  (I can dream)
