Would love this to be part of the UK Soni as well, I don't care if Metallica play 2 years running! Surely everyone who goes to Soni next year won't have gone this year and are people really gunna be that upset at getting to see Metallica?

Id love those four as an undercard under Rammstein or Iron Maiden or even play the Friday, I know its Alice Cooper but it just seems an opporuntity missed!

That's amazing. I'm struggling to believe this will only be chained to Sonisphere though - surely a tour would rake in plenty of money. I'd go to a Big 4 tour if it came to the UK, and I'm only really bothered about Metallica and Megadeth to an extent. So I imagine metalheads and Big 4 fans would be rushing to this, it's pretty monumental as far as the genre's concerned.

Seriously hope this comes to the UK.

Looks like the order is Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Anthrax - is that right? I would've thought Megadeth would be under Metallica, but to be honest I don't know much about metal so I could be wrong. I remember finding it odd that Megadeth didn't headline Download when they played, maybe my whole view of things is wrong.

Andy Copping [Download booker if you didn't know] had this to say tonight

"Sonisphere Knebworth does NOT have the Big Four...it is yet again another big spin by them to try and spoil the Download party. We will party on as per normal thank you very much. In fact, is the Big Four that great?? Also, I want to say a big slap on the wrists to AC/DC for stating on their website that they were playing Download! What was that all about?? I know it's the 30th Anniversary of Donington and it's also the 30th Anniversary of 'Back In Black' (which is the second biggest selling album of all time, only behind Michael Jackson's 'Thriller')...maybe they were thinking they would walk out onto the hallowed turf at the 'spiritual home of rock' which is Castle Donington and play, as part of their show, the 'Back In Black' album in full and in sequence?? Now wouldn't that be something? What must that most awesome band been thinking of??? Hey ho...I love dreams. I always do my best to make them come true. Andy (Maverick)"

Bit of an odd reaction - Sonisphere aren't stating that they have the big four, why so angry?

Not bothered about AC/DC at all. Wouldn't be too surprised if Metallica did turn up though. I know Download's lineup has been weaker in the past few years, but this whole "30th anniversary of rock" thing might sway some bigger names. I hope so, I'll probably go to Download next year if there's enough to attract me.

Dya know what! with slayer & Anthrax already on the bill....and its pretty much a given that Megadeth will be added as theyr on the other sonispheres and didnt play last year. I bet those 3 bands get put on the same day with a 'sub headliner or 2nd stage headliner' kept secret under the name off 'secret act / special guest'

knebworth is the biggest sonisphere.....theyre not gona miss out on the BIG 4.
