2009 Rumours

[Sparticus]

wasn't there a massive crush last time? I'd seriously consider download if they had the prodigy, nin and some larger band due to the other two being "smaller" headliners, areosmith would be awesome. Given the recent headliners of download though, the prodigy headlining should be a no brainer, they create absolute chaos live and have a massive back catalogue, even if their new stuff does sound a bit more like the experience sound, which i doubt a lot of people going to download would be too keen on. Saying that, muse playing a "heavier" set would have me there in a flash, they need to stop ignoring the first two albums so much!

Surely Prodigy would be main stage? Not headlining the 2nd stage again?

[Sparticus]

Yeah, but that was an 'indoor tent', now second stage is outdoor.

[BobbyG]

Ah right i didn't know download had got itself another outdoor stage, didn't know anyone that went to 08 lol, althought my mate said the crush for korn in 07 was pretty brutal what with mcr not going down well.

I'd say the point still stands though, the prodigy should be headlining the main stage if they play. I'd argue they were bigger than tool when they headlined amongst others (And i'm a massive tool fan lol, it's too easy to take a swipe at lostprophets though as they're the smallest headliner download has had by a country mile).

Thing is Prodigy headlined 2nd stage at V fest last year could argue that that is more their target audience.Would love to see them headline main stage but cannot really see it high up main stage I would say.

[darrenbha]

Having seen the Prodigy just before Christmas I'd say they'd be ideally suited to the Friday night headline slot

[tom.a7x]

I think they'll be more suited to headline 2nd stage, hope they play though.

[oscar]

Lets face it Prodigy would be awesome if they played in the carpark.

2nd stage at V is huge though, its pretty much the same as the main stage, its basically 2 main stages

the headliners in the past few years are worthy of top billing, last year was Prodigy and Kaiser Chiefs, 2007 was The Kooks [with Manics below them!] and Basement Jaxx, 2006 was Razorlight and Kasabian

these acts are headlining other festivals, Its one of V's main positives that they always have excellent options of an headline act

[oscar]

oh yeah, according to my brother's girlfriend's second cousin's cat, they're gonna be special guests to ac/dc

wouldn't surprise me.. and looking at that line up (and tour date gaps), with god forbid also self confirmed from there, i'd also put my bets on trivium, w.a.s.p. and parkway drive to also make an appearance..

..and keep all faculties crossed for anthrax!
