Soundgarden Set For Download/Sonisphere 2012?

Seattle grunge-legends Soundgarden, no strangers to the rumour mill, could be making an appearance on a UK festival stage sometime in 2012.

With Soundgarden already penning new material and confirming earlier this week that they will be playing the New Orlean's Voodoo Experience Festival in October, the question is now raised as to whether or not Chris Cornell and Co will visit the UK festival arena?

UK festivals likely to make the booking would be the long-running Download Festival at the spiritual home of rock in Donington, or it's more venomous younger sibling Sonisphere. Or even the Reading and Leeds Festivals. Those who were at 2009's Download may recall Chris Cornell's solo set revitalising a few Soundgarden and Audioslave tracks and only today Download Festival Chief booker Andy Copping teased fans with a message on Twitter saying, "Do yourselves a favour...go & put 'Rusty Cage' on by Soundgarden, crank it up & then tell me you don't love it!"

Nothing official has been announced just yet but Andy Copping is currently in the midst of arranging acts for 2012's Download bash. Other hotly-tipped bands to feature on next year's Download and Sonisphere line-ups include Black Sabbath, KISS, Van Halen, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, No Doubt, Green Day, Foo Fighters and Tenacious D.
