last year the police played for 2 hours

when the who did it they played for 2.5 hours (or so im told)

i know a bloke at live nation who was involved in booking both acts and can tell you that they will both be playing at least 2.5 hours - id expect more like 3 for the boss

I wondered if any of those in the know could confirm whether or not this will be a multi stage event again. I only ask as, so far, all of the acts are listed under Main Stage. I can't remember what happened in previous years. How likely is it that all the acts currently confirmed will play the Main Stage?

""Sorry it’s a bit late this week but been a tad busy. As well as the best ever launch of Download we have been busy sorting out one or two other shows and festivals we have on the cards this year. I’ve got 3 nights of Hard Rock Calling, 2 nights of Wireless Festival and 2 nights of Blur in Hyde Park, Oxegen Festival in Ireland with one of the strongest line ups I have ever seen at a main stream festival and a little event called the U2 360 Tour and if you check out www.360.u2.com its very impressive – and very big! ""

http://forums.downloadfestival.co.uk/tm.as...53&mpage=18 (post 354) the announcement is set to be made end of march

""Yep, third night announced end March/beginning of April ""

i know someone will prob flame me for this being my first post but all im doing is passing the above info on and well ignore it if you want but it is from a legit source!

Just seen this on the NME website. The way I read it Starsailor will be on at Hard Rock Calling again.

Starsailor are set to perform a string of dates across the US leading up to London’s Hard Rock Calling concerts in Hyde Park this summer.

The band will play intimate concerts at select Hard Rock Cafes, to support the release of their new album ‘All The Plans’, which comes out April 28.

The shows will take place at Hard Rock Cafes in San Antonio (May 4), Atlanta (6), New York (8) and wrapping up in Boston on May 9.

The band will also perform at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on May 1.

Hard Rock Calling 2009 will take place in Hyde Park in London from June 26-28.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.
