I can't believe the Sonisphere organisers were stupid enough to put Limp Bizkit above Machine Head without even discussing the situation. Still, hope they have learnt their lesson now!! Get their asses back to Download next year!!

[deadrobot]

Is that why they pulled out? That's a bit petty isn't it? or is it bcause they weren't even told?

[MetalDave]

From Machine Head:

"

It is with the utmost disappointment that we must announce that Machine Head will not be playing the Sonisphere date at Knebworth in the U.K. on August 2nd.

In a turn of events that has left us absolutely baffled, the promoter of the U.K. Sonisphere festival recently placed, unbeknownst to us, Limp Bizkit in our 3rd slot on the festival. Seeing as the running order was a significant part of the negotiation and agreement between us and the promoter, and the fact that we had been advertised in that slot since the festival's announcement, you can imagine our surprise when we were "told" that we would now be playing in the 4th slot, under Limp Bizkit, and bizarrely, it was actually expected that we would quietly move down the bill without issue. We will not.

Machine Head turned down the U.K.'s Download Festival, a festival we are very fond of - which incidentally, had us above Limp Bizkit - to commit to the Knebworth festival, as we felt a closer kinship to the bands performing this year. In an effort to make this situation in Knebworth work, we have spent more than a week striving to resolve this issue in a proper manner. Unfortunately, that did not happen.

So we have regrettably been left with no choice but to cancel our appearance rather than stand for the disrespect and indignity offered by a promoter who won't honor our agreement. While we know that our fans will be furious about this situation - as are we, beyond words - we trust that you will all understand our position, and we encourage you to voice your opinion about it as loud and clear as possible.

The rest of our festival dates across Europe, including the other Sonisphere dates, as well as our headline of the Wacken festival remain unchanged.

Quick question about day tickets:

Is there a separate entrance/exit for day ticket holders? Or is it like Reading where day ticket holders can walk amongst the camping?

Also if you've got a day ticket is there any late night stuff or do you have to get out when the headliners finish?

[MetalDave]

I'm not sure about the day ticket situation, only ever stayed for the weekend.

Im fairly sure you have the same entrance through the village area and into the main arena. You can probably gain access to the campsites aswell but whether your allowed to or not im not sure, security isnt that strict.

And secondly, don't eff with Flynn.

[tweemo freak]

My chemical romance anyone?

I'd be happy for them to play as long as they played a back catalogue of hitws and not new stuff.. they're wicked live but their post '96 music is unforgivable..

[Hazz]

It does, I'd watch that! I wouldn't leave the main stage,

Unless NFG were in there on the second or in the tent. Then I'd be watching them! You know, with being obsessed!!!

[thetime]

one of my musts for next year is download, really missed it this year.

[rocka-v1]

according to classic rock magazine ac/dc have been offered some festivals next year and they're considering them. . .

[tweemo freak]

Ok these are my headliners and some other bands i thought of for 2010.

Friday Blink 182 with Placebo on the second stage.

Saturday System Of A Down {if they reform} with Lostprophets on the second stage.

Sunday AC/DC with Biffy Clyro on the second stage.

Maybe Funeral For A Freind at some point on the Sat along with Nine Inch Nails?

oooh ,ooooh, ooh Good Charlotte or newfound glory to go on before Blink?

Or Justin Hawkins {the Darkeness} new band Hot leg opening the Sunday?

Just please not Bon Jovi!

[MetalDave]

Just please not Bon Jovi!

[Kagayama]

I dont reckon SOAD will be on the cards till 2011/2012 at the earliest. If im wrong and it happens next year, i would be over the moon.

Rammstein just has to be there. In europe for the first quarter of next year at least.

Machine Head and Slayer i reckon shall grace the download stage for a cert.

[Bad Girl]

My chemical romance would make me buy a ticket very quickly.

[Shinny]

I can pretty much safely say that if Blink play, NFG will play on the same day... they practically bum each other...
