Sonisphere 2014

Sonisphere is back to celebrate 40 years of rock music in Knebworth. Dates - July 4th - 6th

I could see the likes of Metallica, Pearl Jam, Oasis, Led Zeppelin (if they reform), RHCP or Foo Fighters playing

I'm not saying there're definitely playing its just as rumours, its probably very unlikely they'll play but some other forums have Oasis and Led Zeppelin listed as rumours for Glastonbury so who knows

Id say Pearl Jam and Foo's are more realistic

Hopefully !! praying for a pearl jam european tour :cool:

Soundgarden are playing a few gigs with Black Sabbath in June so Pearl Jam in July might be a bit unrealistic. We can hope, though!

Looks like a full tour with Pearl Jam is on the way?

Hello Knights of the Soundtable faithful,

I will be taking 2014 off from Soundgarden touring due to prior commitments promoting "Lightning Bolt" with my brothers in Pearl Jam and the desire to have more time at home with my family. I am trying to balance the many twists and turns of my awesome music career. This is temporary. I am still an active member of Soundgarden. Chris, Ben, Kim and I are in the process of finding the perfect substitute for the upcoming Soundgarden dates in 2014.

Thank you all for listening and the Years of Support!

Loudest of Love.
Matt Cameron

Wonder did Sonisphere get all the good headliners before Download for once?

Nea · 25-11-2013 3:15pm

7 days to a Soni Knebworth announcement according to FB page.

Furious-Red · 25-11-2013 4:24pm

Furious-Red · 26-11-2013 5:17pm

Metallica for Sonisphere? Have announced for Sonisphere in Germany in June on the 4th :mad::mad::mad:

Mushy · 26-11-2013 10:06pm

They were rumoured, along with Sabbath and Maiden. Won't be as big a shock now anyway.

Furious-Red · 30-11-2013 10:48pm

Def not getting my hopes up for anything special since presume it will be Metallica/Maiden/Black Sabbath

Been rumoured they wanna finish their 'last' tour at Reading. Could be rubbish though.

Both fests have good timing for a qotsa announcement...Im trying to convince myself.

True , still can see R&L getting Queens

Wrongway1985 · 02-12-2013 2:53pm

Metallica confirmed for Rock Werther same week now so might be obvious although It will mean playing 3 out of 4 UK Sonis hardly the framework for any festival may aswell rename it Orion UK, Metallica do sell tickets tickets I guess is what it comes down to.

Furious-Red · 02-12-2013 3:08pm

Yea was hoping Soni would do something a bit different but looking like they will stick to their usual

Furious-Red · 02-12-2013 5:31pm

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Mushy · 02-12-2013 5:40pm

Im shocked!

Will shift a lotta tickets though, and thats what they need.

charlietheminxx · 02-12-2013 5:43pm

Hopefully they'll have a risky third headliner and a good diverse undercard, they usually do. The tickets have gone up a whopping amount though... £215 before service charge and delivery.

eldest200 · 02-12-2013 5:53pm

Sabbath at reading then?

Oh yea i know both will sell alot tickets but suppose i was hoping for something a bit new since Maiden only did DL this year and Metallica the year before . Thats quite a jump indeed in prices , doubt ill head over either ways

Shocked too haha nobody saw it coming, Jaysus tickets are well steep 205 is about 247 euro when you consider both bands are at RAR/RIM which is 4 days and about the same price if not slightly cheaper.

All but confirmed Id say if they are theyll be with the first announcement which is 2moro.

BetterThanThou · 03-12-2013 2:26am

What do people think of David Bowie as a possible 3rd headliner? I have no reason to believe this will happen, but what do people think? Bowie has said while he wasn't touring for The Next Day, he hasn't ruled a comeback to live shows out. Does anyone think there could be a tiny chance of Bowie headlining?

Not a hope in hell Im afraid if it was the case hed most likely be closing the event or on the Saturday at the very least, (Maiden play Sat, Metallica Sun.)If Bowie returns to the live circut next year at all I imagine hed be wasted on Glastonbury.

That's a shame, the trip to Glastonbury would be worth it for Bowie alone, but it really would be a chore sitting through the rest of the festival.

Just Like Heaven · 03-12-2013 10:44am

That ticket price is horrendous.

Furious-Red · 10-12-2013 12:13pm

eldest200 · 10-12-2013 1:41pm

Sabbath or Pearl Jam?

charlietheminxx · 10-12-2013 2:05pm

I've heard a leak from a reliable source and let's just say I'm a tad disappointed. It's not either of the above.

I can't really because I don't wanna get the person who told me in trouble :P It's another band who've headlined Download in the last 3 years if that helps.

Furious-Red · 10-12-2013 3:05pm

So guessing either SOAD/Prodigy/Def Leppard?

Have they played Soni UK before?

StaticAge11 · 10-12-2013 5:10pm

Could be Slipknot or Rammstein either! Speculative be they have headlined in the last 3 years

no need to name names of said person.. and sure it you're wrong so be it.. ah g'wan..:P:P

charlietheminxx · 11-12-2013 8:08am

It's not long to wait until the official announcement :P I'd love if he was just winding me up but I don't think so. I really can't say any more than I have!

scudzilla · 11-12-2013 8:11am

So PM me, I will not say a word (promise) then will say if yer right or wrong later on

bennyl10 · 11-12-2013 11:46am

They'd hardly go slipknot.. that's 2 headliners from last years download then.. also quietly hoping they get added to Reading/Leeds' bill

Furious-Red · 11-12-2013 12:40pm

Mushy · 11-12-2013 6:01pm

Prodigy it is!

charlietheminxx · 11-12-2013 6:03pm

Well nobody saw that coming

Yep, I can confirm Charlie the minx pm'd me early this morning saying it was The Prodigy...and i kept quiet

Mushy · 11-12-2013 6:09pm

They were always leading the race as a cheaper headliner, especially when it was said they were a previous DL headliner in the last 3 years. Now, play Rock Werchter and I'll see them.

scudzilla · 11-12-2013 6:20pm

Like i said earlier to Charlie via PM, it was pretty obviously gonna be a band like them, Soni tends to have 2 trad metal bands and an alt (Biffy Clyro), they'll sell more tickets to a different crowd.

Issues they have now in UK is if Soni and Download happen they need 6 headliners, and, IMO, there's maybe 12-15 bands maximum who are capable of headlining status, hence the constant repeats, touring cycles will also rule a lot out.

Download are taking a gamble this year by promoting Ax7 to headline status, i don't think they're big enough or good enough to headline such a festival, but i'm sure Copping knows people will go anyways, just cos it's Download

Exactly it really! Tis a hard one to do. Sure Soni promoted Biffy to headliner, and look at them now, headlined Reading/Leeds, now doing Isle of Wight. Just can't see A7X headlining as many fests as them now though.
