Speaking of Sonisphere, I'm not certain but one of the remaining Sonispheres - Switzerland - apparently seems to have been ditched and Iron Maiden and Rammstein are being hosted at another event in the country under DEAG's 'Allmend Rockt'.

Naw it's still soni Swiss, allmendt rock is the venue name afaik

 

Edit: sorry just seen its confirmed - its Sonisphere Presents Allmendt rock haha, because a double barreled approach is much simpler

Yeah I just had a quick look and the official FB has a poster without any Sonisphere branding for Rammstein, and Sonisphere across the top for Iron Maiden. Fuck knows what's making them do it like this. It'd be cool as shit if there could be a "Sonisphere presents..." festival in the UK where they branch out from offering the dregs of Download's lineup, but then again when you look at DEAG booking Iron Maiden and Rammstein for every festival across Europe, that doesn't seem all that likely.

I think there was talk of that at one stage tbf but as you say they generally end up with the usual lot as its who they work with most so not sure how feasible it is in reality as much as I'd prefer it to be more varied

[dentalplan]

Yeah, they could have a middle point though. I'll transport to the Soni thread and explain...

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I just really hope they offer alternatives on Saturday and Sunday and don't close stages early 

I know the whole thing with Maiden last time cos they were filming but still.

Why does Download need to clash which exams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Rammstein, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden is just nuts. Three mighty repeats. One of which made heavy metal and will probably say good bye for ever.

[Moey]

Headliners confirmed then.

 

Who will be the subs or second stage??

 

Alice Cooper? Any merit in the rainbow stuff?

 

For me, as I already have my ticket, I will need something decent on the Sat and Sun night as I saw maiden and Sabbath the last time they played and have zero inclination to see either again.

No probably about it, Sabbath are doing their farewell tour next year.

No real clue but based on who's meant to be about at the time, I think Within Temptation and BFMV are pretty good bets for headlining 2nd and Deftones subbing main.

Copping appears to have shot down the Rainbow rumour.

Hi

 

Does anyone know how you get a campervan ticket. The ticket pages don't seem to have this at all

Talking of which, if you want one, get it now. This place will be like "campervan ticket under the hammer" soon. The fuckers have increased the price from £109 inc fees last year to £145 inc fees this year. Not only that, it's gone up £15 since the early birds ran out. Blatant rip off. It was £40 in 2010. 

[luckysalt]

Its supply and demand dude you know this, they will continue to raise it as well. Not saying its right but they'll increase the price of the most indemand tickets until the demand drops off.

[devilman]

Aye, short and curlies mate. Short and curlies. RIP camping sold out.

[Moey]

Long queues at the bar expected. Gonna be a busy one!

Well known that Downloads extras are overpriced and a rip off, not anyting new.

nooooooooooooooooooooo

someone tweeted him saying he's missing out by not booking them and he said it's Blackmores fault they're not playing not his. Something along those lines anyway.

[THEBOILERMAN]

i'm really hoping for meshuggah to get announced

Seems about right. They are supporting Maiden on their tour dates in June so you can expect they'll be there whichever stage.

Same thing for Rival Sons touring with Sabbath.

Ghost were fantastic headlining the pit at Leeds. Mid main or even higher I'd say.

[devilman]

Talking of Ghost, this made me laugh.
