2013/ the future of soni?

[luckysalt]

No but the link did: http://magazine-karma.fr/live/rumeurs-et-confirmations-pour-le-sonisphere-2013/

I'm thinking you're right and Soni Uk must be the same weekend as Finland - hmmm Tolpuddle or Sonisphere?

[5co77ie]

yes confirmed as a no go.

[mrtourette]

A shoe-in for 2015, if not then defintely 2016.

[jump]

What they aren't reforming for 2014? Or not likely for Soni in 2014?

The band put out a statement that a soni poster with Pantera listed as headliners was a fake and they have no tour planned. I think it was meant to have Zakk Wylde listed as playing with them to fill in for Dimebag.

Peanut Butter kills it every time... Chunky or Smooth? I'm a Chunky man

Nine Inch Nails apparently touring again next year, a UK exclusive would be a crock solidifying booking.

It has to be smooth, I don't like any nasty surprises.

But the ultimate is peanut and cheese!

Nope! Other than the rumours of SOAD and Down being involved. Down also being on that leaked Poland line up with Pearl Jam, if there's any truth to it, then possibly them. Only 3 names though so really could be anyone for anywhere on the line up.

[5co77ie]

The apparent Soni dates are

31st May - Spain

8th June Italy

8th-9th June France

20th July Finland

So maybe if it goes ahead UK will be same weekend as the Finland date?

Looks like there's a few missing:

new ones are:

Soni Sweden: http://se.sonispherefestivals.com/

Soni Switzerland: http://sz.sonisphere.eu/

Soni Greece: http://gr.sonispherefestivals.com/

Soni Czech Republic: http://cz.sonispherefestivals.com/

Soni Poland: http://pl.sonisphere.eu/

[5co77ie]

All those have happened in either 2011 or 2012. So guessing the sites have just stayed up?

[GazzaScotland]

If you look they have all been updated with coming in 2013.

[5co77ie]

ahh okay you may be right, when I went through them, some like the Czech one (http://cz.sonispherefestivals.com) had an old page I assumed that meant it wasn't happening - but now that too has been updated.

[5co77ie]

This would suggest four:

http://sonispherefestivals.com/

as you were.

[kipper64]

Nah they've jumped between 3 then 4. They'll add them as they go - as they did lastvyear.

Afaik the sites and posters this year arent done yet. Hence France and Italy are currently using 2011's web design and poster too. I expect that to change

[biffoire]

If countries with economies as bad as Italy and work ethics as bad as France are getting Soni's, then surely the UK must be a shoe-in.

(And yes, I am taking the piss and not being xenophobic. )

[kipper64]

*shrug* I'm just speculating, I could be off the mark and they are just re-using the 2011 site. The 2011 site was probably the best anyways, didn't really like the 2012 ones.

Also I think the rush to get france's announcement out is part due to hellfest shifting their arse into gear with an imminent announcement - now dated in 2 weeks time. Think they wanted to beat them to the punch.
