Why does Britain need another pop festival? They put the price up to pay for all the American bands in dollars. What American bands? Radiohead are great but surely not at a "rock" festival. Arctic Monkeys are a bore, Kings of Leon and Kaisers just pop tosh. Why not go the whole hog and invite Girls Aloud? So Sonisphere got the choice bands, but surely Tool, Iron Maiden, Muse, Green Day could have been invited? Why have FFAF and Enter Shikari opening the main stage below bands that they are far superior to? They'd have been better off headlining the Radio 1 tent so we don't have to suffer KOL and Arctic Monkeys.So we're paying nearly £200 for basically Radiohead, White Lies and Placebo and maybe Prodigy.Suddenly Download looks more attractive.
