The fact that Linkin Park are headlining above Heaven & Hell says it all really. What a big load of bollocks.

Linkin Park probably may of sold more cds then Heaven and Hell/Black Sabbath, but then history probably does'nt matter to.

Obviously the reasons why Linkin Park are headlining are obvious, I just hate bollocks and idiots. One day I'd love to see a big metal festival in England that appreciates a band with some fucking integrity.

Dude Sonisphere is run by the dudes who sold the rights to Bloodstock to some euro festival firm.

Would you expect any less :(

I am going, but i got my ticket for free lol

Looking real forward to seein Airboure again as they are fucking awesome!

Thunder's last ever show is of course a MASSIVE highlight, and Anthrax with John Bush will be very verryyy interesting!

Yes they have made some strange choices in terms of line ups, etc.... but Limp Bizkit is gonna be fucking hilarious and i am of course looking forward to seeing Metallica again.

Yeah to be fair it's worth going to see Saxon. They're one of the best live bands on the planet.

Saxon is gonna rule, i hope that the band that is in the support set is Machine Head, otherwise whoever it is will get boo'ed 100%!

Unless it is Down...which would be fucking amazing?!

I just read on Ballsbbermouth that it is! That would be ridiculous after all the fuss they made when they pulled out! Surely it must just be a rumour, but they wrote the article implying that it's definite.
