    Gonna be the first year I'm not going to Sonisphere. Damn shame, loved the last 3 years of the festival.

    Think they are this year. From the start. If so, a Sunday day ticket will be needed. FNM, Incubus, Mastodon doing The Hunter in full:eek:, Andrew WK, Cypress Hill...great day.

    hmmm out of that list, Mastodon, FNM, Gojira and Kiss would really interest me. Maybe Incubus Manson and Wolfmother.

    Download, overall, seems to be the better lineup. Dont really get what the wait was for.

    Probably waiting for KISS and Queen to confirm, especially since Roger Taylor had stated last year that he believed Queen were done touring in any capacity and wouldn't do anything like this again

    If you haven't bought your ticket yet then I would REALLY read this

    http://sonisphere.co.uk/news/tourist-offer-returns/

    Could work out really well if you have the time

    Deffo a good offer! I did the poland trip year before last and it was definitely worth travelling :) I think the lineup is weaker than other years but this is a good thing...got very hectic running between stages not wanting to miss anything, will have time for beer this year.dont think the adam lambert thing matters, at the end of the day you wont hear the singer over the crowd for any of the hits.
    I know its cheeky to ask but if anyone is thinking of buying tickets I would really appreciate if you could use my fmc code....its like tesco points, the more people use it I get posters and stuff....ultimately if enough people do I could get a free ticket. The code is 1k992916 thereshould be a space to plug it in when checking out if yee are buying through the soni site. Anyway no worries if not :) just thought I would ask....posters have been really good the last few years!

    I thought that myself and also wondered why the hell they are billed below the likes of Marilyn Manson. Some things i'll never understand.

    I don't think that's true....I'd be very hard pressed to believe (especially without Sebastian Bach) that Skid Row would be second billing under KISS at a UK festival...I'd actually love if it happened, ThickSkin was one of my favorite albums the year it came out....but, no, this seems too unrealistic...besides a lot of people really hate Skid Row for some reason and were very critical of KISS for taking them on as special guests on that Cruise festival they did...

    I won't be greedy - Queen, Faith No More, Ghost...I'm happy

    And with Fear Factory at Download and Iced Earth/Sepultura at Bloodstock it's going to be a good Summer

    I'm glad it's finally announced. It's not a terrible line-up, some of those bands are pretty big. But like this is probably the least popular bands like incubus and manson have ever been?

    I'll give it a miss anyway and try and hit both hevy and bloodstock :)

    I might do Sunday, bands arent worth the admission price for the whole weekend imo.
    Hopefully DME will get Ghost over here around that time.

    Soundgarden are the main band I want to see this summer, I wont do Download as its the night of the Ireland match and I would say CC will do his Songbook tour here rather than SG playing here. Decisions Decisions
