Def Leppard jumped the gun? 

God that would almost be as exciting as seeing one of Ozzy, Black Sabbath or Iron Maiden headlining for the 20 millionth time

[Steve1000]

No idea who the not Ozzy or Avenged headliner is but I'll go for the bring me's

Avenged / Black Stone Cherry / Weezer / JEW / Neck Deep / Bury Tomorrow

Placebo / ATDI

Converge

BMTH / 30 STM / Stone Sour / Ghost / Amon Amarth / While She Sleeps

Volbeat / Thunder

Asking Alexandria (Closing Early)

Ozzy / Hollywood Vampires / Architects / Trivium / Frank Carter / Hatebreed

Parkway Drive / Rise Against

PVRIS

That Leppard things deffo fake there's some fake tweet creator thing that people in the DL forum used to fuck with everyone

For the record my latest prediction with Def Leppard in it wasn't because of that tweet. Sticking with that prediction even tho I can't really see it happening (there's no one I can see it being really atm, glad there's gonna be a surprise).

[UndergroundSound]

i'll be at work at 9am so gonna miss the live forum reaction what a gutter

[devilman]

Gonna stick with A7X, Metallica and GnR. Looks like it's Ozzy, Def Leppard and BMTH though

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

There's a few of those Photoshopped tweets going about. There's a black stone cherry one saying they're headlining Saturday with Volbeat and Halestorm.

[Red Day]

Can’t see BSC being a main stage headliner, particularly on the Saturday. GnR .....pleeeaasseee

[scrubbertheman]

This time around has been like watching a car crash in slow motion. I almost don't want to see the results. 

Bollox. Of course I do. 

[Red Day]

Too true

[DownboundTrain52]

Ozzy Osbourne confirmed a minute early by Coping.

[Red Day]

Ozzy

[KingPin]

Download forums are down, must be a shit line up.

[DownboundTrain52]

Tell you what, the Twitter fury is pretty impressive. Not a lot of happy punters - they best be hoping the other two names, if coming today, appease the masses.

[Gucci Piggy]

Wow a week's delay just for that.

I was thinking they’d do a few other names along with the headliner...and I agree people are NOT happy!

Madrid just announced this

Aye, oddly anti-climatic....

End of the month - but agree, likely some crossover. Wager all but Priest to be honest on there.

A week delay to get just Ozzy, wtf Andy 

[Red Day]

On the face of it Ozzy is a legend and a mix of his solo stuff and sabbath is great. Down side, anyone who witnessed him in 2016 will know his voice is totally gone. Poor choice

[DownboundTrain52]

The most recent setlist of the man himself:

Bark at the Moon
Mr. Crowley
I Don't Know
Fairies Wear Boots
Suicide Solution
War Pigs
Drum Solo
Iron Man
Shot in the Dark
I Don't Want to Change the World
No More Tears
Crazy Train

Mama, I'm Coming Home
Paranoid

Not exactly going to be vintage, is it? Still, there's enough solo hits in there to go with the four songs everyone knows from Paranoid to keep it going well.

[JSmurphy]

There's got to be more coming today ...

This, thankfully it's the last time he'll play the festival (or it should be) and Andy's just taking him whilst he can, but he'll be shit and hopefully they have somebody good against him.

[DownboundTrain52]

I will be honest, cautiously optimistic if I go though. Know it will have been a year and a half almost since Sabbath's final UK dates but his voice held up in rather good shape for the Manchester show, I thought.

Will it be a good choice if his voice is decent? I thought he sounded impeccable on the final UK tour, so maybe if there’s a few months clear in the calendar before June it should go down okay.
