I wanted to bump this topic

It seems this year would be a perfect year for me. Iron Maiden coming with Sonisphere, so I'll have the chance to finally meet them. Also Judas Priest, Bon Jovi and Deep Purple coming!

Excellent mate !! I haven't seen Maiden for ages - I even saw them in a sort of private show in a small venue where I got them to sign my ticket

I'm going to have a freaking awsome year as well with the Big 4 at Sonisphere, System of a Down (yeay !!), Ozzy, Korn.

And to please my girlfriend Jamiroquai and Iamx

+ all I don't know as off now

Rock On !!

Maiden are coming to the UK so I've got tickets to see them in Manchester in July also managed to get tickets for Queens of the Stone Age in May, despite them selling out in around twelve seconds - ticketmaster were stupidly letting people buy 8 each, and what with the smaller venue (Manchester Academy) they were never going to last long

Also hoping to get to Sonisphere UK (Big 4, Diamond Head, Slipknot, Motorhead + Weezer ) this year, depending on the monetary situation.

QOTSA tickets were really hard hard hard to get in Paris as well (like SOAD). Thankfully I am not a huge fan

Come on TK, you need to see the Big4 Can you buy daily passes for Knebworth ? In France you only have the 2 days pass for Amneville (less than 10 minutes driving from my gf )

I'm pretty pissed off, Slash opened for Ozzzy in Australia, and in Luxemburg its Bullets for my Valentine

[The Kid]

Yeah you can get daily passes for around £75, as opposed to the 3-day weekend pass for £165 (or early entry £175), so if all else fails I'll just go for the one day to see Diamond Head and the Big 4

It seems Judas is not coming alone! I'll have a chance to see Whitesnake too! I'm not the exact type of a blues person but I really like Whitesnake, it'd be a nice opportunity to see them. Also bought my tickets to Sonisphere at last.

I was in Sonisphere yesterday. It was just super-awesome. Other than Slipknot which I didn't really like, everything was great. In Flames was good, Mastodon was okayish at least they tried their best. Alice Cooper was brilliant, he did awesome job and also played a lot of songs, really impressed.

And of course, Iron Maiden \m/ it was the best 3 hours of my life for sure. I never had that much fun and I must confess that I've cried.

Top of my list to see that I have yet to see: Ben Folds and Weezer.

Weezer is one of my favorite bands. Gotta love "Pork and Beans"

Not too long ago, my mother took me and my father to see Jimmy Buffett, wasn't bad either

[The Kid]

So I got tickets for Sonisphere in Knebworth next week can't wait, 4 day early entry pass. Stellar lineup that does indeed include Weezer, plus the Big 4, Diamond Head, Alestorm and a bunch of comedians including Bill Bailey. It's my first festival so I'm really looking forward to it

Lucky you mate !! Going to Sonisphere as well this friday and saturday but the line up is not as impressive as yours I'm missing Maiden (though the setlistr is not as impressive as many years ago - yeay I am not a fan of the latest records), Bill Bailey and so many more

So happy to see the big 4 and Volbeat though

[Dharkan]

I've seen Volbeat last year! They are really awesome I must admit that. And big four too. Went to Judas Priest and Whitesnake too yesterday, it was quite brilliant, I've seen Judas Priest before but they were kick-ass again this time. And Whitesnake was pretty special aswell, even though I'm mostly a metal-head, I like blues-rock too.
