Who's all going and are there day splits?

[-pogo-]

Hi!!!

This looks no too bad, but I dunno anyone in real life who's going. So I'm asking who's all going off of here?

And I'm also asking is there day splits yet?

[-pogo-]

Of sorts. I'll be camping with The Gremlin and whoever else is with him... if you join that's 3 of us at least, would that be enough to constitute an efests camp?

[thegremlin_1999]

I think so yes. Also, I PM'd you again, you reckon I'll get to Download?

[-pogo-]

pogo, come camp with us, at the mo its just me, my mate amy and lith but i'm still trying to persuade bad_girl/her fella too

[biffoire]

I'd watch 12 out of the 20 main stage acts!

And still more to come!

[t8yman]

day splits.

[she bangs the drums]

Its all a little confusing, 32 bands does not make sense and does this mean that NIN will be playing in the light and before Avenged Sevenfold

We’ve announced over 30 awesome acts, confirmed 18 exclusive festival appearances and details of the Bohemia festival village with all sorts of fantastic attractions to make this an unforgettable festival experience. Now we can confirm the day split and running order for the first ever UK Sonisphere Festival.

Look out for further band announcements plus more attractions in the Bohemia area coming soon. The exact running times are still being finalised , but as previously announced the outdoor stages will be running alternately to avoid scheduling clashes, meaning you will be able to see all 32 of the main stage bands.

I reckon they'll have a gap between NIN and Metallica, with second stage finishing before NIN. That's what they've done at 2 staggered stage festivals I've been to before.

[kipper64]

That would make sense really as then you wouldn't have the scenario of 50,000 walking between stages though I am still not sure how they can fit in 16 bands each day?

[biffoire]

Theres 24 main stage bands according to the website. I had heard someone mention 32 bands?!

12 each day I reckon!

[harrisonmuse16]

right, ive been very confused about this whole staggered stages thing so

can i see nin, a7x and metallica?

[biffoire]

Metallica

NiN

A7X

This is how the line up will work imo.

[biffoire]

Yeah, the poster seems to be causing more confusion if anything. We need to see the line up in chronological order.

[Rancidpunk_76]

I'm going too! Now the lineup has been split into days i thinks it's looking even better - i was initially concerned that one day would be amazing whilst the other, less so.

However, it's all split quite nicely so the weekend looks ace from start to finish.

[biffoire]

I'd say that sunday is awesome and sat is a drinking day. Just got to wait and see which days Therapy? and the Wildhearts are on!

[Rancidpunk_76]

The Wildhearts and Therapy?? I like your thinking!
