(realistic) Bands to improve the fest for you

[Lithium05]

Just wondering who people would like to see added that are still in with a chance of playing (ie not booked for sonisphere)

I'd personally love to see Dropkick Murphys and/or Flogging Molly added. As well as (some may be doing Soni, I haven't checked the line-up recently, and some I'm not sure if theyre touring/still together!)

NoFX

Kansas

Journey

Soil

Drowning Pool (if they're still going)

Soulfly

Machine Head (surprise slot)

Bad Religion

Bloodhound Gang

Nightwish

Apocalyptica

Would be gutted if NoFx play, but i can't see it.

[theramm]

I reckon NoFX would command quite a high slot tbh. With the spaces left to fill I'm hoping for the following to be added :

Against Me

Letlive

Cancer Bats

All or any would make me very happy.

[luckysalt]

knowing the smallish spots left

Black Label Society

The Hives

Ash

Skindred

Spunge

Hundred Reasons

Not putting anything like Nofx cus obviously Andy has forgetten this genre

[chappiepunk]

Split for a while with new side projects or disliking eatch other! But Did the tour last year in October and headlined Vans off the wall tour as well!

New single is great as well

[luckysalt]

Obviously as I gave them their own thread Karma To Burn have self confirmed

Thrash Hits have said today Converge are playing via being told by a 'source' but then immediatly afterwards said maybe not after all after they looked at their tourdates and just have Saturday free, and now its left at 50/50

static x are playing a fest the week after download, any idea of them playing? the search isnt working on the forums atm.

[luckysalt]

I mentioned Static X ages ago for Hellfest in France, and nothing has been announced for them since, very weird.

To be honest if Download doesn't get Black Label Society and Static X, then I dunno whats going on, in Europe and not booked, AC must just be hating on the metal

[Spengs Muck]

what gets me is that most peoples improvement bands are punk bands and yet for some reason this fact seems to escape Copping most years.

GIVE US A PUNK STAGE!

[pryce]

im starting to think that the bands are looking at mainland europe for festivals first rather than uk fests

as most know doing a tour in the uk usually sells well over multiple dates. compared to europe where they do one or two in a country

its a shame. Also more competion in the Uk

but this might be my last uk fest, might look overseas from now on

[CeeCeeLuvsDancing]

Bring back Spineshank
