kipper64 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Biffy was all I could think of but its hardly the norm, is it? plus Biffy didnt have to headline soni in 2011 but it was a gamble taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black_Crow Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Prodigy requested Chase and Status otherwise MH would have been 2nd on the bill. Also, bands playing DL often end up in slots lower down than they would at Soni. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffoire Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 (edited) No they wouldn't, another band would have gone above MH. Considering they were the big headliner at Bloodstock and others who have had that slot have been 3rd/4th down at major festivals.

Black_Crow Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 If Machine Head were always meant to be 3rd on the bill and that was there rightful place, why did they get an hour long set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insideaway Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Ten D got an hour and im pretty sure megadeath got about the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffoire Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 All the bands who play 3rd from top at most major festivals get an hour set. Check the stage times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AR93 Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Tool would be one of the best headliners they could get imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitargeek Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 MH seem to be a lot smaller over here than the rest of the world. They headlined Wacken this year and absolutely killed it despite the fact most of the festival had left because of the weather and it was still pouring with rain. One of the best, if not the best, set I've seen this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biffoire Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 If there is no announcement from Sonisphere UK before Download announce the next 20 bands mid January they may as well not announce? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jump Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'd would have said that about the last announcement to be honest. I think it nothing happens before xmas it'll be a washout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hardygra Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Real XS Manchester formally Rock Radio. Girlfriend said it was on radio and there is an announcement this week. ACDC were mentioned. I don't know any other details. Rock am are announcing a new headliner tomorrow I read... could be part of ACDC tour. No idea.

eFestivals Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 if it is announced this week it's dreadful PR planning. The media world is already in xmas shutdown, so it won't get half the mentions it might, and then won't get noticed by as many people as it might at another time, because people are distracted with xmas.

hardygra Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 One big announcement before the new year isn't bad PR. Christmas is over hyped. People will always talk and discuss festivals and who is headlining. If ACDC are announced before New Year, or Christmas fair play. Get tickets on sale in New Year and there laughing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
