Tomorrow's Announcement

[justanothername]

So another announcement tonight at 17:30. Who are we expecting/hoping for?

We still have special guests to be announced, any ideas?

I'm hoping for Every Time I Die, Architects, The Bronx, Papa Roach and Touche Amore.

How did he win? What did he win?

The special guests are gone, this'll mostly be filling in gaps. I think AiC subbing after subbing Saturn and playing third down on Apollo in recent years is enough to temper expectation. Alice Cooper usually shows his face at Knebworth though, can see him being announced along with some other smaller acts.

Isnt the motley crue tour with Alice cooper supporting due to start in June?

To answer my own question it is with dates in US throughout soni weekend

justanothername is going to give you £20

[AR93]

Hopefully a beer right before ETID if all goes to plan!

[Gucci Piggy]

Are you hoping he sticks something in it and you pass out and miss the set?

[Dead throne]

Wilko Johnson, Electric Wizard, Dog Eat Dog, Anti-Flag, Black Spiders, Krokodil, Raging Speedhorn, Reckless Love, Tesseract, The Safety Fire, The Defiled, The Hell, The Hype Theory.

[atomised]

Underwhelmed, that's me out I think, nowhere near enough to tempt me

[dentalplan]

It's unbelievable that Wilko is still going. I hope he gathers a good crowd.

[SOAD]

It's very decent as far as a lower lineup filler. Think the majority of bands will be on Bohemia or smaller. About five I would be very happy to see so decent announcement for me even if I would have liked Apollo and Saturn fleshed out more.

[kipper64]

Aye, some total unexpected bands thrown in there that I'm glad to see added like Raging Speedhorn, Stampin' Ground and bloody Dog eat Dog, total blast from the past! Stick that in with Anti-flag and Electric Wizard and that's made for a very good lower card so far for me.

Agree would be nice to see mainstages fleshed out a bit more as theres still some decent slots left, but in the mean time, I'm pretty happy with that!

how come everyone's saying those but my press release also had:Brutality Will Prevail, and Emp!re

[kipper64]

Was originally meant to be 14 then changed to 16 so maybe there was an outdated list somewhere? Or someone posted that list somewhere on a forum and everyone has been copying them without realising, both are definitely on the poster and on the official news post

[Dead throne]

aye

[justanothername]

There is another one on Wednesday (5th of March)

Not expecting anyone major though

[huntyyy]

Alan Day ‏@alandayrocks 48m

announcing more acts for @Sonisphere next week, inc a Saturn headliner that Tommy Vance introduced me to & i've been a mega fan ever since.

He's the guy who books bands for Sonisphere

[DomDom1984]

Blitz Kids have said they have a festival announcement tomorrow.

[kipper64]

Already playing haha.

Scorpions had an interview posted on metal hammer today and talked about wanting to play the UK this summer and MH hinted pretty heavily we could see them at a UK fest this summer. Would fit in with Alan Day's tweet about tomorrows saturn headliner being announced being a band introduced to him by Tommy Vance on the Radio1 rock show, so is likely a big 80's act.

Dream Theater. I have no feelings about this.

[SOAD]

Dream Theater aren't quite the same with Mike Portnoy but I've seen them twice and once they were amazing and the other time pretty good so I'm pretty happy. Will be interesting to see the other 10.
