Well done to Download's efforts in supporting the smaller bands,
but in turns of line-up between Download and Sonisphere, Download has got no chance.
Soni has some absolutely incredible bands playing, not just because they have The Big Four, but striking the balance of the heritage acts, new bands AND some good comedy thrown into the mix. BILL BAILEY! Gosh.
I know where I'm gonna be this year, sorry Mr.Copping...

Letlive. LTA and TRC are the only bands i'd see there.

The reason Sonisphere appear to sit back when Download is splurdging on so many bands at once, is because they choose quality over quantity. There's seven bands - just seven - that I can say I definitely like from
this, and even if I was still open to buying a ticket, it's not enough to convice me to change my mind.

When will Copping realise this splurdge method of announcing bands just isn't good? The good bands are completely drowned by the underwhelming. Festival needs a giant overhaul if its to compete in future. CKY, Bodom, Biohazard and Karma To Burn really don't salvage the festival at this stage.

I soooo wanna go this year, to me it seems like one of the best line ups!!

Posted by Hannah | April 8, 2011 5:11 PM | Reply to this

However, to the rest of the world it seems like the worst Download lineup in years. Shame I can't make it to soni this year.
