Sonisphere Knebworth 2010: Sunday Review: Fear Of The Dark
After the magnificence of Rammstein the previous evening, none of us were in a particular hurry on Sunday and Sunday turned out to be quite a laidback day as festivals go (if one can say such a thing on a day when Slayer are playing!).
When we did get to the arena, there was a brief shopping trip before some of our group chose to go and enjoy The Bootleg Beatles after Bjorn Again's relative success last year. I say brief, but over the course of the day Steve acquired himself 10 t-shirts and a....
Sonisphere Knebworth 2010: Saturday Review: Ich Will
Having recovered from the battering in Sylosis the previous evening and the disappointments of Alice Cooper's technical difficulties, hopes and spirits were very high for Saturday. The first band of the day that any of us really wanted to see was Lacuna Coil and so we got into the arena with about 5 minutes of Sabaton's set left. This looks like it was a total mistake as they sounded brilliant and were seven shades of hilarious inviting us all to their homosexual party of a tour in October. Come....
Sonisphere Knebworth 2010: Friday Review: Schools Out
On first entry to the arena the most noticable difference was the shift in the location of the Bohemia tent to a (in my opinion) more favourable location near the main entrance to the campsite, and also how much bigger the second stage was this year (in my estimation definitely bigger than the Ronnie James Dio stage from Download). In terms of musical action, the task of kicking off this year's Sonisphere Festival was down to Dutch metallers Delain, who I knew very little about. During their fai....
Download Festival 2010: Sunday Review: In The Rainy Season
Relatively fresh from Rage and meeting up with the Rocksins crew afterwards, Sunday was (in terms of the band schedule) supposed to be my most leisurely of days, but it didn't exactly turn out that way. Aside from Aerosmith, the band I most wanted to see all day were the mighty Saxon, who were one of the major highlights of 2008 in the Tuborg tent and was looking forward to seeing hopefully a repeat, unlike at Sonisphere where the curse of the Saturn Stage crappy sound hit them in Knebworth last....
Download Festival 2010: Saturday Review: Rust In Peace
Saturday came and the weather was still holding and our large group went off to the arena in dribs and drabs, with me failing to carry out my original plan of getting into the arena in time to see Rise To Remain early on, I instead opted to get in with plenty of time to spare for Sybreed, a band who I had heard good things about but not seen or heard much of their material.
Upon arrival into the arena at about the time Flyleaf should have been playing, I saw an unfamilar banner adorning the ....
