Yep!! Alice Cooper is headlining, it is a mini day, do you think KISS would play a mini day?

Question, why would they add themselves to a festival when more money is to be made from their own tour that has yet to sell out!?

Besides, official forums tend to be full of idiots!

If you believe that KISS or in fact any band big enough to headline a festival will be playing on the Friday, then you are mistaken.

[tommyramone666]

BALONI !!

Because a festival would pay them more than a date on their tour!

Get your facts right first before you accuse ppl on other forum of being idiots!, sucka.

If Sonisphere managed to get Kiss to headline main stage on Friday then it would shift a lot more tickets, Alice Cooper could still headline Second stage as he already is doing

They could announce them just at the end of their tour

True! but it wont happen...

This next paragraph was taken from the official Sonisphere site when they announced the first batch of bands...

"Sonisphere is set to be an even bigger monster in 2010, with the extra day of music added. Friday 30th July will see the festivities getting started with a Rocky Horror Show theme, and ALICE COOPER – the godfather of theatrical rock – suitably closing the evening on the SATURN stage at his only UK festival performance of 2010."

This means to me that it will be a mini day and the Apollo (bigger) stage will be closed all day on the 30th July.

KISS will NOT play before Alice on a smaller stage..

I think we're all aware that was the plan - but remember last year they told us in the first announcement there would only be 2 stages, things change.

If KISS came calling and said they wanted to play im sure the orgsnisers would be happy to open the mainstage on the friday for them. Saying that, im pretty sure they wont be there.

[Spengs Muck]

what?, KISS might approach the organisers of a festival that didnt sellout last year, and wont sell out this year, and ask to play on the night before it starts properly?

you obviously know nothing about Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.

Definitely not happening. In fact team sonisphere found the rumours of a 3rd headliner on Friday quite amusing at the FGM. Apollo wont be open and this is going from talking to them last month, the KISS rumour pre-dates that I think.

Hey, I just thought I'd point out that in May's issue of Classic Rock there's an article on the 40 most powerful people in rock. Anyway under Stuart Galbraith (page 66) it says Maiden, Rammstein and Kiss in the Uk.

Exact quote:

"....2010 includes the Big Four: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax, with Maiden, Rammstein and Kiss in the UK."

This could be a mistake - but that's what it says.

The Magazine was also guest edited by Kiss themselves.

What do you think?

Doubt it as they're playing countless festivals throughout Europe this year, all of those aren't going to have their stages shut the day before

[random55]

why on earth would they hold off announcing them otherwise?

[luckysalt]

Your quote of mine you obviously have read what I wrote wrong.

That is in refence to Pendulum. Why would they be holding back Pendulum as special guests, there was no reason to, hence why I think they've only just taken on that position recently.

Think whoever was Special Guests before pulled out or have moved elsewhere on the line up

[scudetto_boy]

How would playing second to Alice Cooper on a mini day of a festival pay more than the likes of playing their own shows in some of the biggest venues in the UK?

Thank you for that pearl of wisdom but i do believe my posting to be correct.

Something tells me you are not a business advisor, right?

[tommyramone666]

YAWN

[cheeseisamazing]

Cheers for the comments guys.

Looking at the evidence i think it is possible that kiss might headline the friday.

You say rammstien need a lot of time to set up, but i'm sure the organisers could get aroudn this. they have a lot of time before the previous date (9-10july in madrid) so its possible they could get alot of the stuff set up on the thursday. but i'm not a roady so i don't know.

i guess will have to wait till the end of kiss's tour
