Who would be up for Metallica and Pearl Jam as headliners.

i reckon soni would be.

Have they got them then, for the uk?

PS: if they have, presumably soni will be cancelled again iun following years until metallica are available again.

If my source is correct, then yes, expecting a late November announcement. He seems to think STP, Alice in Chains, Architects will be announced as well.

[rawaudioinput]

If those are the names from the undercard that they're leading with on the first announcement I fancy my chances of being able to play mid-main.

They could just about get away with announcing them all on one day with Architects pretty low down.

I imagine STP could still sub, they did only a few years ago in 2010. If they did than one stage then the other again then AIC could probably do 3rd main too.

[eFestivals]

brilliant

[mrtourette]

I'd have thought that AIC would play higher, at least they're releasing semi-decent new material rather than just turning into a bit of a joke.

[thewayiam]

STP are a write-off for me now but I don't think their stock has fallen since replacing Weiland so yeah, I'd imagine they'd still sub. I don't think that's a bad first announcement if it's actually going to happen, I imagine those are just 5 of the choice bands from it though.

The idea of PJ and AiC is pretty appealing...

Sonisphere presents The Big 4 of Grunge: playing together for the first time -

featuring Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam and Nirvana & Adam Lambert.

Jesus Christ I just remembered that shithouse from Llinkin Park is now the singer in STP. Lolz all the way to the bank.

I wasn't. But now I am...

[dentalplan]

Well if Rage are the band from Luckysalt's info that are the difference between Soni 2014 going ahead or not - which makes sense to me as they're supposed to be holding a lot of festivals like this - then they'll have to decide soon. Hurricane, who were also apparently '50/50' with them, have started announcing already so if it is Rage then it looks like it's the eleventh hour on Soni from my Metallica doubting viewpoint.

Keep the 4th-6th July 2014 free! Planning a festival to celebrate 40 years of Rock Music at Knebworth. #sonisphere http://sonisphere.co.uk

[5co77ie]

It's back in some form at least.

Are they doing a Reading/Leeds and going all multi-genre?
