2008? Great Scott!

I have a lot of friends who speak highly of sonisphere, and last year bill bailey was there, so tempting stuff

Sorry not sure what happend there, but I have corrected it.

I am so excited.. don't even remeber the last gig I went too.

Paradise Lost - Norwich?
Donnington 1996?
Smashing Pumpkins - cambridge Corn exchange (the Verve were there backup band)

[Alpha-9]

Checked out the lineup, don't like any of the bands and the tickets will likely be overpriced


I used to like download, I went in like 05 and 06 and saw Black Sabbath regroup, it was sick

Last year I went to O2 wireless fest in london hyde park, which was also pretty sick, The Chemical Brothers ftw!


I do enjoy them, but mostly for the excessive drinking and meeting like minded people

Otherwise i dont like the 'metal' fests - I'm more of an electronics and beardyman type fan

Sonisphere is too expensive (although you can come to the same conclusion about most UK festivals).

I'd rather spend the money over the course of the year going specifically to see the bands I like rather than pay cunt money for a camping pass, stale beer and shit food to stand in a field hoping the weather holds out while waiting for a band I actually like.

For sale. 1 slightly abused and battered soul.

Price: 1 ticket to Sonnisphere or one ticket to Sunday nights line up.

Contact Pinky for details.



Chances are I wont be at this one. Just like I wasnt at the last one, Or the one where Rammstein headlined but Faith No More I saw way back in the day when they were support for GnR in 92 and they were better than the headliners. First time I had ever heard of them and they were that good that no one cared that GnR were a couple of hours late getting on stage!

I saw GnR in 95 at Milton Keynes - It was fantastic!

[GhostRider]

Only band I'd remotely be interested in seeing is Cypress Hill. I mean Kiss ffs? How many of the majority 16-30yr old attendees even fucking know who Kiss are?

GhostRider

Would only go for I killed the prom queen... and since when were they back together

Ah well... doubtful I'll go this year, got very lucky last year and got a free ticket..but this year looks expensive for what it is.

[FretGrinder]

I'd only be going for Faith No More and Mastodon.

Bet then I'd be going in the hope that Mastodon play most of their older stuff but, like most bands, they're only going to be plugging their latest album which I'm not really liking thus far.

On the flip side, seeing Faith No More would make my day, but I'm not paying all that money to see 2 bands that I like.

People do say that it's not just about the bands at the festival. This may be true, but thats what you're paying most of your money for.

Me and a few mates managed to grab some Saturday tickets for Reading a couple of years back. This was probably the worst festival experience I'd had so far as far as the music was concerned. I had to suffer Ian Brown and I'm not a big fan of The Killers. We al wished we'd managed to get tickets for the Sunday as Radiohead were headlining. This would have made up for the piss poor Saturday.

We did have some fun meeting random people, getting wasted and sleeping in the car for 3 hours and stopping for an obligatory Burger King on the way Home.

Of course, NOTHING has come even close to Download 2006, I managed to see loads of bands I'd been wanting to see for years, met some cool random people, had bacon every morning for breakfast had an epically huge tent to sleep in and, to top it all off, we had some fun with the riot police on the last night.

Good. Fucking. Times!

was stuck between Soni and Download last year, went to Download in the end because most of us couldn't make Sonisphere, this year I've got my 5 day camping for Download on lineup alone, not saying Sonisphere has a bad one, just I would prefer to see the bands playing at Download. Plus its 15 minutes down the road to Download so perfect ferrying distance for alcohol/shower

No chance I'll give cash to the shyster money grubbing arseholes at Sonisphere again. I don't particularly appreciate being treated like a gullible fool and get really offended when people attempt to manipulate me with half arsed lies.

Sonisphere has fucked it this year, the lineup is shite and they took the piss announcing it, I believe it was probably Downloads fault as they have pulled out all the stops for all the anniversaries that are being celebrated, it looks past immense, though I do love the Sonisphere general vibe and the location more! The only band I personally would see is Marilyn Manson because they (he?) are/is the only band thats anywhere true to the previous years in all honesty, though they were never going to beat last years lineup!

As for the money thing, it is very expensive but as I don't have holidays abroad and this is a common interest between friends I rarely see, I'd pay the money every time. Also getting the chance to meet bands is priceless, like remember that time I met Rammstein and stuff Blue, you remember that? Oh no, cos you weren't there I won't be able to make any festivals this year because I'll be doing my basic training for the Army at the same time as every UK festival () but if I had the choice I would go with Download, and if they weren't on the same weekend, Rockness, just for something different!

Though I will admit this is all my (and a shitload of others on the FB page) opinion, it will still sell out, the headliners have massively dedicated fanbases and besides theres always a furor at first over the lineup (remember Biffy last year?) but people go anyway, silly people!

But Adam Lambert? No chance.
