2009 Rumours

[Sparticus]

i can still see fall out boy making an appearance,they're huge, still don't get why they were rumoured for ages and would've slotted in well below lostprophets and jimmy eat world. More likely to headline the second stage as they're marmite with the download audience, or i could see them 2nd headlining a day at reading and leeds.

[Spiral_Low]

Actually that was a shit guess I posted last as I forgot Heaven And Hell and Rammstein probably would have announced otehr festival dates by now if they were gonna play. Oh well.

band i'd f**king LOVE to see there, as they're doing hellfest the following weekend:

ENTOMBED

god that'd be amazing. got 3 of the albums but never seen them... and i love the 'influences' on their myspace page: 'Satan, Metal, Goats'

edit: and on a Swedish theme, after the 'strong rumour' that never happened last year, what about Meshuggah?

2nd edit: and i'm sure i say this every year, but MONSTER f**kING MAGNET PLEASE!!!

yeah meshuggah would be awesome, was totally gutted they didn't appear last year.. fingers crossed!

haha love the intro to the entombed slayer cover on myspaz: "bla bla bla slayer, huh?!"

[Salt_On_Everything]

Hatebreed apparently touring summer '09, whether Europe or US i dunno, but puts them in the frame... but to be honest i'd rather it were Kingdom of Sorrow!

jesus christ, have just discovered a perfect circle (i love tool but thought it may taint them hearing maynard sing in a different band). I was so wrong, a perfect circle followed by tool and you could have kid rock headlining the next day for all i care

[Salt_On_Everything]

just discovered perfect circle? christ, i saw them live in like 2000-2001 or something, you missed out all this time?

Personally hoping for Carcass be good to see them while they are still together again.

Playing Waldrock festival (Holland) 13th June so is possible.

Glad to see we are concentrating on some of the smaller bands that could appear.Entombed,Hatebreed,Monster Magnet all good shouts.

[MetalDave]

Arch Enemy & Nightwish would be amazing, along with Down, Children of Bodom, SOiL & Evile..........Please

I think theres a good chance of In Flames playing again (prays!) looking at their current tour dates:

1 May 2009 20:00

Academy 2 Liverpool

2 May 2009 20:00

Roadmender Northampton

5 Jun 2009 20:00

Sweden Rock Festival Norje

9 Jul 2009 20:00

Norway Rock Festival Kvinesdal

31 Jul 2009 20:00

Wacken Open Air Festival Wacken

In Europe and doing festivals, what do people think? Second stage headliner??

[Salt_On_Everything]

think i'm gonna go to the liverpool academy date for In Flames... i think it said in metal hammer that download is unlikely for them tho...

[wilcox]

Punktastic are saying that FFAF (March/April), New Found Glory (May) and Valencia (June) are all announcing separate tours...who would like to see them at download?

FFAF tour announced tomorrow here's hoping for a Newcastle date this time round!

[MetalDave]

Saw FFAF recently when they did the Wales tour thing, they were really sharp. I've somehow managed to see them 5 times or so and this was deffinitely the best id seen them.

Considering they were second headliner in 2006 under GnR, i have no idea where id place them on the bill. Second headliner on the second stage or something???
