Was that on their Twitter feed as I just checked but couldn't see that listed.

There is no truth in the Dave Gilmour, Deep Purple or John Fogerty rumours.
-
If that is true, I will literally cry. Oh dear God that would be the best lineup EVER.
David Gilmour... Deep Purple...
Then John Fogerty with McCartney?!?!
*breathe*
However... David Gilmour's blog editor has frequently mentioned that there are no planned live appearances this year... Unless he's been bluffing.
That would literally be the best day of my life to see Gilmour again.
Heck, even John Fogerty with McCartney would blow my cotton socks off.
*fingers crossed*

It's the best festival in Portugal and the most expensive too.
It's only your opinion. Maybe you don't listen good music or maybe you don't undestand music at all, just maybe...
You pay 60 euros or more (some a lot more) just to see Paul McCartney, Guns n' Roses, Roger Waters, Bon Jovi, or Rod Stewart...just to name a few. And they rarely agree to do festivals. Rock In Rio gets all monters they want and all the "biggest pop divas" (or not...) too. Like i said, it's a festival for the whole family, they have the very best and the very worst. They want to please everyone. You just have to ignore the worst and see the ones no other festival in Portugal will ever get (and hardly will ever act in Portugal again). Some of the names Rock In Rio brought to Portugal didn't come to Portugal in decades.
Now tell me what is the international festival wich has in one edition this line up: Paul McCartney, Peter Gabriel, Ben Harper, Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon, Metallica, Incubus, Sepultura, Alicia Keys...
or this: Guns N' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers , Roger Waters, Santana, The Darkness, Kasabian, Sting, Jamiroquai,...
or this one: Lenny Kravitz, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Metallica, Joss Stone, Alanis Morissette, Amy Winehouse, Machine Head, Apocalyptica, The Offspring, Muse, Kaiser Chiefs...
Those line ups talks for it self. If you don't like it it doesn't mean it's bad. In fact it's the best you can get.

Rock In Rio already brought Red Hot Chili Peppers, Roger Waters, Paul McCartney, Guns n' Roses, Metallica, Santana, Bon Jovi, Rod Stewart, Lenny Kravitz, Amy Winehouse, Sting, Muse, Alanis Morissette, Kasabian...
It is one of the most powerful festivals in the World. They can get almost whatever they want. The line up is always amazing with the biggest names you can imagine. Muse played an exclusive gig last edition (they were not on tour), Paul McCartney refused to play festivals when the organization tried to book him. Then they made him an unrefusable offer.
Being a festival for the whole family they use to have a lot of crap too. And i'm talking in names like Britney Spears, Tokio Hotel, ...which sometimes makes us think if this is rock in rio or pop in rio, but in the other hand they bring the names that no other festival can get.
This is the best festival ever made in Portugal, in spite of a lot of kids telling it isn't. Because this is a festival for the whole family like i said. This is not an usual festival. There's no camping area, and the action is mainly in the main stage (there's a DJ stage after the concerts with names like Carl Cox, and a secondary stage mostly with portuguese bands). There's no such thing as all day ticket. There's only 1 day ticket (around 60€) if you want to go all five days you have to pay aprox 300€ with no camping. If you want a good camping to stay in lisbon during the festival you have Lisboa Camping. To go to the festival you have to cath the bus every day. Don't forget this festival is in 2 weekends (diferent weeks).
The festival inside area is the best you can get, inside you're gonna find what looks like to be more like a thematic park. The stage is the biggest and the coolest you can get, Glastonbury don't even get close.
The main stage line up use to have 5 bands per day, and the capacity is 100 thousand people (don't fogert some of the days use to sold out). This year's line up they only have confirmed Muse, festival organizer said in an interview that AC/DC, Radiohead and Lady Gaga could be on the bill, but nothing confirmed yet. I'm getting worried because the biggest bands on tour have the shedule almost full on the festival days, if you want to go you should wait for the line up because you can get a lot of pop divas unless that's what you're looking for.

As long as i know REM are not on tour. They're on studio.
I think Kiss are not an option already. They will play in Spain on june 25 and Belgium on june 27. It will be hard to come to UK on 26th, and they will tour UK in May.
I don't know when Guns n' Roses will launch the European tour but could be a possible headliner. But if i have to guess i'd say they will be headlining Download festival with AC/DC and Metallica (self confirmed).
Nobody said AC/DC at Download will be exclusive festival appearance or UK only appearance. Promoters would use this argument, believe me. According to their shedule they can only book more concerts in UK in the end of june. So i will keep dreaming...

David Gilmour and AC/DC would be greatest as headliners. It would make a perfect festival.
I've some hope for John Fogerty too, and Billy Idol (he'll be on tour around Europe in the summer), but these not for headliners of course. They deserve but they can't.
Stone Temple Pilots would be welcome too. And personally The Cult and Iggy & The Stooges would make a valued line up for me.
Hard Rock Calling 2010

Ozzy Osbourne confirmed for Ruisrock festival in finland: http://www.ruisrock.fi/ This probably means a European summer tour. I'd bet he is the last headliner of Sonisphere but also a possibility for HRC
