I'd be amazed if they didn't. They're headlining Big Day Out in Australia at the start of next year and will have a new album out in the Spring. As for putting Europe on hold, I thought that was just until after they'd toured the States (which they've done now) and the fact they're going to Australia shows they're open to hitting the road in a big way. Although as you say anything they do depends on his solo stuff and anything Pearl Jam do.

Aaron Lewis off of Staind said during their Birmingham show that they would be doing either Download or Soni next year. He also mentioned June, so I figure that DL is more likely. Plus Andy told a friend of mine he would have them back when they recorded another album and they just released a new album.

Moved up to strong rumour, Evanescene, Fozzy, Black Veil Brides and Royal Republic as I believe they'll all be playing especially from Andy's tweets in the case of three, the other Fozzy, named Download as a festival they want to play, if they're willing im sure Andy would be able to work something out for them and they're good friends with Metallica so that probably has an influence.

Dropped to rumour, Rammstein. Theres a solid chance they could still headline the Friday, but with the metal headliners they've announced they might be going for something a bit more commercial.

Added to rumours, Scorpions and The Prodigy.
