tommyramone666 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You wont see them at any festival apart from their own!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallimuse Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I know they are planning an MK bowl date... but the reaction i got from Melvin Benn last year when i asked about AC/DC was exactly the same as the reaction i got the year before when i asked about RATM. If you have any more solid evidence then i'd like to hear it but until then thats still my verdict. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalDave Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Neil's fairly confident that Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Green Day are the Reading headliners. So i guess that rules Ac/Dc out altogether. It boggles me how there is a general idea of who the Reading/Leeds headliners are already, and still nobody seems to have a clue whose going to headline download!!

Ravislayer Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 What was that? Can you elaborate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon Posted January 24, 2009 Report Share Posted January 24, 2009 Rammstein are not available for festivals in 2009. They were approached by the Rock am Ring guys but turned it down stating they would not play ANY festivals in 2009. Unless they've changed their mind dramatically I'd say they're not a rumour for download 09. However if they've really changed their mind, they'd be rumoured for Rock am Ring as well but in fact they're not. Rock am Ring is also having a hard time this year finding decent headlining acts as most bands prefer doing their own stadium or arena shows this year. Pearl Jam and GnR are still rumoured to play RaR and I know that at least Pearl Jam were/are considering doing a short tour. No one really knows what's going on with Guns though.

Budweiser Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Actually download Festival capacity is being increased this year to 120,000 i believe, so quite the opposite mate! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Copping has said himself last week that this year capacity will be increased due to the site being moved again to allow this, he didn't say what the new capacity would be though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moss265 Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Stolen From Reading and Leeds board A little indication that we may see Def Leppard. Would they be considered headliners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalDave Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I JUST WANT FEAR FACTORY TO PLAY!!!!! Is that so much to ask?!!?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetalDave Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 I've seen them a fair few times but what can i say, im greedy. I would love to see them at Download, i don't think they've ever played which is insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Girl Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 nowt wrong with a bit of greed i reckon they'd be a right catch if they did play where dya reckon? 2nd stage headliners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt_On_Everything Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 i think they're too far out of the limelight for 2nd stage headliners. i'd say 3rd stage headliners if they headlined, or somewhere in the top half on 1st or 2nd...
