oooft, Sonisphere is looking pretty sweet. Machine Head, Metallica and Alice in Chains…niiice.
Still going to download though…fingers crossed the 3rd headliner is Rammstien or Manowar….
Not really that impressed by Sonisphere, it ok but nothing special! AIC and Thin Lizzy are pointless bands nowadays.
Alice In Chains are what!?
Everyone is obviously entitled to their own opinion but you, Sir, are a mentalist.
Still not impressed at all! Its still £180 odd for 20 bands, which is a complete rip off and just stinks of Stuart Galbraith on a bitter mission to try and destroy Download.
Alice In Chains, Thin Lizzy and Machine Head to join Metallica and Lamb of God – nice, this is shaping up to be a pretty good festival!
Yeah, i’m dead happy with that announcement. Excluding Thin Lizzy, but meh. I love Machine Head but I’m seeing them way too often.
ommmmgggg THE SWORD! i wanna gooo!
but yeh to expensive for the ammount of time so ill just stick with download!
I’ve got my toes crossed for NIN to be there aswell! This year is a fantastic year for metal!
oooo sonisphere is looking sweeett, can only get better right?
Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and Machine Head all at one festival.
Call me whatever you like but that is pretty much what I’m hoping heaven’s going to be like.
Alice in Chains have been taken off the line-up on the Sonisphere website. IF they have pulled out, fingers crossed they’re coming to Download instead! Good times will be had if they do.

Damn right Jack, they do indeed pwn. After all, they have the superior version of “Whiskey In The Jar”. The Dubliners have the second best version.
Can’t you swop Linkin Park (I think they’re crap and boring and not metal but that’s my opinion) for Slayer. How can Linkin Park bill above Machine Head? That is literally sacriligeous.
