Download 2012 Official Rumour Thread

[luckysalt]

Biffy Clyro announced as sub headliners at IOW this morning.

Not exclusive either.

Could they sub at Download?

[5co77ie]

They did say they were only doing a few festivals next year...

[AcademicPistol]

They could...... that would also be a slap in the face of Soni, a bit like Download having a threesome with Soni's Mum & Sister.

[jump]

I'd imagine one of the fest they'd be doing next year would be Scottish.

Judas Priest have announced European dates for 2012 just April-May so far

[luckysalt]

Metal Hammer podcasts say 2012 albums to check out

cancer bats

lamb of god

young guns

lower than atlantis

enter shikari

gojira

blackbreath

your demise

hatebreed

rise against

everytime I die

killswitch engage

They say the Enter Shikari album has good moments but is a bit meh, different to what Kerrang were saying as they were spunking over it

Say Your Demise and Young Guns albums are gunna be massive and they're gunna break out and become big acts in 2012

Also REALLY talk up the Lamb of God album say that its really amazing.

talk up the Killswitch Engage album and say they're playing Sonisphere. So there you go Killswitch off the rumours.

[lharris92]

with relation to killswitch, they did play dl last year (2010) i think so could probably count them out - i saw they were announcing dates in europe as well

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I can't wait for the Young Guns album, seeing them a few days after its release in a 300 cap club, gonna be awesome.

[luckysalt]

Red, White and Blues have self confirmed

Presidents of the USA appear to be playing

[mrtourette]

Christ I haven't heard from them for years.

[luckysalt]

Doing European tour early next yr, playing Wolves Civic by me, tix are nearly £20. But seems they'll be back for Download too

[biffoire]

£20? Jesus. They were never that good.

[luckysalt]

Yup think its £18.50 face value, so with booking over £20

Anyway Billy Talent just been announced for a festival in Canada the week after Soni, so guessing they won't be in Europe in July. With the rumours they're at Rock AM Ring, looking good for them back at Download. I'd love it, even though their 2009 main stage set was a bit lost of the crowd, they are great at their own shows, so I want them back!
