I've been to both and have to say I preferred the setup at Sonisphere as there's no clashes between main stage and 2nd stage. I'm not blown away by Download 2012 headliners tbh:
Metallica - I've seen more than enough times - and they're playing the Cack album in full - yawn!
Sabbath - bona fide rock legends but I've seen them before and I have my worries about how fit Bill Ward and Ozzy are to perform these days.
Prodigy - just should not be playing a rock festival, and will attract a real dickhead crowd.
That said I haven't been blown away by any of the Sonisphere rumours yet. If they get Maiden again I'll go. If they get Pearl Jam, Megadeth, Priest or Alter Bridge I'll probably go depending on the rest of the lineup, but otherwise it'll just be the Neurotic Deathfest for me this year.

Sonisphere headliners this year were Metallica (as part of 'The Big Four' show), Biffy Clyro and Slipknot.
Metallica were the best of the 3 headliners (yet ironically the worst of the 'Big Four'), and should have been closing the festival.
I only watched the first few songs of Biffy - Watain were playing the tent after all - but they were pretty good although totally out of place at the festival
Slipknot were just cack - as expected. I think they suck anyway so I am biased, but my mate and my girlfriend are both fans and both were very disappointed with them!

that's not unfortunate, have you heard them recently guns and rose's are freaking terrible now and axle is just a joke and a pretentious cock. far better just to listen to the old good stuff and think of them like that. i made the mistake of watching black sabath one year at download because i thought "might not get to see them again" and it was shocking, ozzy just looked like a confused granddad who had walked on stage and didn't know where he was and he kept shouting at the crowd to move more etc... and it was embarrassing as everyone was thinking "we're not moving more, cause you're not that good and you're making things really awkward"
one of the few bands from that era that are still just as good live as they where is iron maiden
