3rd announcement

[justanothername]

I like the announcement but Limp Bizkit and Alice In Chains subbing seems a bit weak

[SOAD]

Bizkit subbing isn't surprising. Went down well both times they played Soni and subbed last time.

[the wonderwhy]

Are Megadeth Bloodstock exclusives?

Just thinking, they may as well go all the big 4

[atomised]

Reckon limp bizkit will fit pretty well under prodigytoo

[thejimbola]

Nothing convincing me to go from that except knowing Alice in Chains are Sunday if they sell day tickets.

Chas and Dave

Liking the C&D quote:

The last time the duo graced the stage at Knebworth was in 1979, opening for Led Zeppelin. Thirty-five years later they said, "We went down well at Knebworth in '79. Not surprised we got a return booking!"

[kaosmark2]

If Metallica, AIC, Sisters of Mercy and Mastodon are ALL Sunday, I might get a day ticket, but even that I'm not sure about.

Good annoucnement. Mainly Dropkicks and Limp Bizkit into Prodigy on the Friday is going to be lots of fun. Chas & Dave will be a laugh too. Overall it's a strong line up, but it's just lacking a few big acts that make me think "I can't miss that", bit predictable in some places. Hopefully that changes over the next few months though!

Anthrax <3

[kaip]

Thought it was pretty shite to be honest

[atomised]

I'm happy with it, reckon it's enough to convince me. See a few bands. Have a laugh with some mates. Well worth it

[jump]

Anthrax <3

[Dead throne]

That will continue the tradition of every Soni that has gone ahead having Anthrax play.

[jump]

No Anthrax=no Soni

[Dead throne]

Yep, at least they managed to do 1 Soni with out Metallica.

[gard]

Yup, thats my ticket got... Yes, its all very predictable, but its still going to be a cracking weekend... Chas and Dave did it for me

[devilman]

And the devil in a black dress watches over.........

Loving the line up.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I was excited by the prospect of Soni returning but Christ that's a shite line up. The subheadliners look dire & the undercard, which Sonisphere was usually good at booking, looks fucking woeful too bar a few exceptions.

Overall it's a terribly predictable line up.

Can the Sisters just play a 6 hour retrospective? They can have Chas & Dave guest on 'This Corrosion' and perhaps Lisa Cuthbert can turn up again on the joanna for a knees up!

Is Eldritch still going through a nu-punk 'Rave' phase?

[devilman]

Phase? He hasn't done anything new since 93 has he? I kinda think of them as goth rock but apparently goth is a dirty word to them

[atomised]

They refused another fest this year because they didn't want to be associated with a festival which labelled them goth
