Why would there be an announcement? They've only been banging on about an imminant announcement for nearly week!

Dl and reading might have shite line ups but at least they've announced the main stay of who is playing without keeping the punters in the dark!!

[biffoire]

I also find the whole thing odd with them announcing all the bands for one day and next to nothing on the other. Very unorthadox. Smells to me like they haven't got the acts booked and are only now trying to fill the line up!

Just a thought. Announce the full line up and you might sell some tickets!

Emm, download is 2 months away and we have only just started getting the full lineup.

Reading and leeds is further away and the ticket buyer know more about who is playing there than sonisphere. I thought it was fairly normal to announce the top acts for each day. You know, to sell tickets.

That is true enough, however announcing one full day and leaving one day pretty empty is pretty weird. Also, most festivals sell out in the first few days by announcing the strongest acts first (say top 3 bands on each day)

Announcement being prepped on the 24th. Nothing since. It’s teadious and it's getting boring!! the hype surrounding this festival has all but disappeared after the nin announcement as a result in the long gap and no leaks.

Stuart Galbraith said on Metal Hammer.com there would be a major announcement "either next week or just after easter" depending on a couple of factors.

[Judas Pissed]

Metal Hammer suggest that the following could be in the offing:

Janes Addiction

Megadeth

Testament

Nightwish

Dimmu Borgir

Children Of Bodom

Heaven & Hell

how amazing wud it be to have Jane's and H&H

[luckysalt]

neil still has primal scream and the answer down as rumours too

[luckysalt]

Theres no Download announcement next week, I know its Easter but still could mean theres gunna be a Sonisphere announcement

The next Download announcement is 20th April btw

[tomisnothere]

oh god, PLEASE let megadeth be playing. that would be brilliant.

[jackthebassist]

oh come on FFS there has to be an announcement soon!!!!!

[jackthebassist]

Twitter page replied to some guy saying the announcement is coming this week for sure.

[beLIEveR]

Makes sense. Seeing as they've still got a second headliner to come, you'd assume any announcement they make will be more exciting than Download's. Presumably it'll be on Friday.
