Sonisphere 2010 will feature 2 changing headliners it seems..metallica and maiden. Would be amazing if they both played, but it seems they are always changing between the gigs. Knebworth seems to be a maiden deal:

this would be extra special cool if both would play...
but now we know for sure, maiden is on tour next year

it's not sure yet, but we better expect that slayer might pull out of the lineup. Tom Araya has still huge problems with his back and had to go to hospital again

Hopefully he gets better soon, but it also say on slayer.net that they canceld everthing till april, so maybe they will be at the sonisphere festivals....

I dont know if you read it already, but Heaven and Hell has cancelled the whole european tour.

Yeah i know. Posted it in the jonschwil thread i think. That sucks but i hope ronnie gets well soon.

I'm not too happy with belladonna singing for anthrax again either, as i prefer bush's vocals, but it'll still be good. I guess belladonna fits better to the "vntage" feeling of these big 4 gigs though
