Hrmm, never heard of it before. The one at Knebworth seems to only have a couple of bands I actually like playing there, though (The Ataris and maybe NIN). I actually used to like Coheed and Cambria till I found out that the singer was male. :(

Haha, I'm actually listening to them now - I'm sort of indifferent about the voice, it's not really a pro or con to me, to be honest :p
I'm going to the Knebworth one - NIN were the main reason for me going but I also like most of the bands :D

The problem I have with lots of the heavy bands is that a lot of it sounds like a dirge to me. You know what I mean? I like my music to have more energy to it. Actually I can recommend you something. If you like Coheed and Cambria and other energetic heavy bands, then you will love love love Envy's ridiculously titled All the Footprints You've Ever Left and the Fear Expecting Ahead (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Footprints-Youve-Ever-Expecting-Ahead/dp/B0001NIY36) [amazon.co.uk]. This album utterly blew me away when I first heard it. Amazing stuff. :D

Cool, I'll give them a listen - I tried using Spotify but I'm not sure if that's the band you're talking about... =/

Looks great - I'm a bit jealous about Gojira :D

Metal, not my cup of tea. Pukkelpop (http://www.pukkelpop.be) maybe. Friday looks nice (Placebo, Kraftwerk! MSTRKRFT!), Saturday maybe (N*E*R*D, 50 Cent - and the last one only because I want to know how he's like. I mean, dumb or dumberer).

Lol, looks pretty good - I love Placebo and Opeth! :)
There were rumours that Placebo would be going to Sonisphere which got me way too excited :P The new album is quality as well :)

Nope, only Graspop and Rock Zottegem, for now. Maybe one day Pukkelpop
