Sorry! I had every intention to write up my review of Sonisphere 2010 in the days after returning but unfortunately I've been feeling terrible. You know, man-flu. I feel much better now so now I have got to challenge myself to remember all the awesomeness that happened in the three glorious days of Sonis.

Friday started as you'd expect, setting up camp, making some lunch and taking a wonder to see the first bands. The first band we saw was Turisas. They are a folksy Finnish warrior type band, well that's how I'd describe them. The members of Truisas were all covered in red and black war paints. Truisas has some catchy tunes and an accordion (yes an accordion, win!) found them very enjoyable. 

We took the opportunity after Turisas to have a wonder around the arena. The Apollo and Saturn stages were pretty much in the same position of last year although the main stage had been moved further back. Most noticeable change was the Bohemia tent and fun fair. Bohemia was directly behind the second stage and the fair moved from the top of the slope to the bottom. The whole set up is great. Non what-so-ever of that trekking miles from camp to the area like at Download and other festivals and that's even for the the general camping. Another thing that works well with Sonisphere's set up is the food stalls lined between the two stages as you can just grab something while switching between the two main stages.

The the headline act was Alice Cooper who was prepared to do his full Theatre of Death stage show. I hadn't seen this before. It was full on drama production with a weird story line about (if the titled didn't give it away) death. During, Alice Cooper kills maybe people and "dies" many times himself. Cooper started and finished with Schools Out. It was a cracking and unusual way to kick off Sonisphere. 

After Alice Cooper we went back to camp for something to eat. I won't bore you here about the awesome Sonisfood I cooked, only direct you to Sonisfood where I've fully blogged it in all it's glory.
