2012 Lineup

[FortMorris]

From the Soni rumours page, I would only want to see Queen, Shikari and Korn/Skrillex. G'n'R seem the most likely for 3rd headliner... hope they enjoy

Green Day and No Doubt? Too perfect, so chances are thats its not going to happen.

A lot of people seem to be more accepting of Wu Tang to say Jay-Z and/or Kanye. I have been a fan of all three at some point and have albums from all of them, but I thought it would of been the other way round as Jay-Z/Kanye are more commercial. Which lets face it FR would normally go for the more commercial acts.

I know Neil says FR may have had their fingers burnt with Kanye at other festivals they have organised but Live Nation have a decent track record with both Jay-Z and Kanye headlining Wireless have they not? Jay-Z is signed with Live Nation or whatever the deal is between them, would it not be such an easy booking. Speacially if Download upon losing out on Van Halen got bumped Prodigy from FR. So if they needed that third headliner whats easier than booking someone that is associated with your parent company. They are pissing in the same pot

[JBarbour]

Sonisphere Festival

Sonisphere Knebworth - First Line Up Announcement 8pm Tonight, here, all over Radio 1 & Metal Hammer, Scuzz, and every other meeeja outlet.

So maybe rule a few bands out of R/L later then

Yeah I don't know where this thing came from about The Prodigy being taken from R&L, unless it was the band themselves who decided to turn down an offer from R&L to sub to go and headline Download, in which case who can blame them? I'm sure stuff like that happens all the time, not sure why it seems to be such an issue here.

[PurpleFire]

I can see only two of the three headliners being annouced tonight for Sonisphere! Queen and Adam Lambart and Faith No More!

Healiners? Pffffft. If that story is based on them headlining R&L then I call bollocks on it straight away. If a gigwsie prediction turns out to be wrong then it's because they're wrong, not because they were right but then someone the headliners got changed. What a load of shit.

[eFestivals]

It's from that Gigwise leak ages ago saying Prodigy (with Foos & Green Day) were going to headline R&L and people have speculated it was true but they must of switched acts.

or far more likely what gigwise published was always just plain wrong. They have a habit of being very wrong with R/L headliners.

[joelovesleeds!]

Just wait till 8pm, they will be loads of people saying Green Day will 100% headline as they aren't at Soni or The Cure will 100% headline as Green Day are at Soni.

Following

NEWS : Blur Bassist Alex James says the bands performance at the Brit Awards could be their last.

[jump]

Is it the case that bands that play Soni can't play R/L in the same way it is with V?
