Download Festival vs Sonisphere Festival

THE BIG FIGHT!
Download Festival vs Sonisphere Festival!

Ok, so usually there would be no competition whatsoever, but this year Download have done something incredible - they've got an alright line up - pretty much for the first time since 2005 tbh haha.

Sonisphere is sooooooooo much better in terms of everything, the organisation is 100000% better, the stewards know what they're talking about, its much more relaxed, the atmosphere is better, theres alot less people in comparison to Download because Download pulls the mainstream card most years, aaaaand the distance between stages and campsite aaaand stage times (no clashes) its just puuuuurfect.

Download on the other hand, that walk, yes THAT STUPID FUCKING WALK, ruins everything. Oh and they say the bands won't clash, but they do, and they don't group similar bands together, which means alot of running around through masses of crowds, and the reason they do this? Well its obvious, if all the bands were grouped together people would buy day tickets, and Livenation are money grabbers rememeber :) They'll do anything for more money - even going as far as getting My Chemical Romance to headline just because they're current.

So as you can tell, I love Sonisphere so so much, and I'm actually pretty devastated that its Download with the good bands and not them, but I guess the bands are what its all about.

So then... The Comparison.

SO FAR...

Bands I want to see:

Download Festival
  1. The Prodigy
  2. Machine Head
  3. Fear Factory
  4. Metallica
  5. Tenacious D
  6. As I lay dying
  7. Trivium
  8. Black Sabbath
  9. Soundgarden
  10. Megadeth
  11. Lamb of God
  12. Devildriver
  13. Killswitch Engage
  14. Fozzy
  15. Anthrax
  16. Sebastian Bach
  17. Devin Townsend Project
  18. Soil
  19. Sylosis
  20. The Defiled
  21. Periphery

Sonisphere Festival

  1. Kiss
  2. Queen
  3. Faith No More
  4. The Darkness
  5. Marilyn Manson
  6. Cypress Hill
  7. Andrew W.K
  8. Skindred
  9. Lacuna Coil
  10. Hundred Reasons

Obviously Download would have a heads up anyway because they've announced more bands, but the difference really is - alot of my fave bands are playing Download, its looking like a pretty good metal festival so far and thats what they've always lacked in the past.

I'll come back to this closer to the time, but its looking like Download is waaaay ahead this time................. unfortunately haha.


OHHHHHH ONE LAST THING!!!
