rumours......

[BobbyG]

I believe that the announcement is Tuesday and not Monday, but I could be wrong.

Thinking about it, I bet it's a 7pm announcement on a radio station - Kerrap radio perhaps?

I have no ideas of days or stages or running orders for these rumours.

[bekimo]

Crue will defo be confirmed next week.

[eFestivals]

Copping has said that Monday will be the announcement.

yeah, probably on the Download website and with sponsors, but I think the 'general' announcement (press releases all round) might be Tuesday.

Some more acts who could play who are in Europe that weekend

Greenfield festival in Switzerland I believe runs the same dates as Download Fri-Sun and they've announced

Korn, Disturbed, Slipknot, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, Volbeat, Tomte, Trivium, Caliban

and Waldrock in Holland which is SATURDAY only has announced

Heaven And Hell, Motörhead, Carcass, Papa Roach, Killswitch Engage, Dragonforce, Epica, Trivium, Delain, Wolves In The Throne Room, Black Stone Cherry

[luckysalt]

Id like Black Stone Cherry to be there so hope it was Download they were talking about Beki and not IOW

Really hope we get Papa Roach, Id be disappointed if they're over here and don't get booked, plus would love Trail of Dead, Disturbed and Motorhead from what I posted

[BobbyG]

Papa Roach, Killswitch and BSC FTMFW!!!

Surely Def Leppard are potentially headlining, possibly about the same as Kiss popularity wise. Though I can't stand them personally so hope there's a good alternative on another stage,ideally Rancid/NOFX/LTJ/NFG/RBF or maybe even the King Blues who I reckon might headline the third stage one night.

Despite his shortcomings in recent festival appearances, Manson's got to be more of a realistic headliner than LB (though the same could probably be said about the rest of the bands too!). Particularly if LB are without Wes.

[biffoire]

You reckon?

I really can't see Limp Bizkit headlining, I just don't think they're relevent enough to headline nowadays! They'd hardly be a big draw!

BTW - those rumours aren't rumours.

[luckysalt]

They did both last year

[Lithium05]

Limp Bizkit have the fact that they've been away for ages going for them, plus the novelty factor that will inevitably attract a lot of the old nu metal kids (including me!)

[BobbyG]

I have to say I'm a bit put out by H&H suddenly going off the boil.

[Lithium05]

Yeah but with them playing Holland on the Saturday, I thought the cahnces would be slimmer

Fly in, then out then back in again, seems a bit much

[Lithium05]

You've totally managed to confuse me.

My blondness can't cope with all of this information. I'm going for a packet of Jelly Tots and to jump on the sofa for a bit!!

.... there's idiot's on the download forums saying that these names are "just rumours".

If they want to put their money where their mouth is and make bets with me I'll be a very very rich man.

They seem to have forgotten who told them the headliners last year. The idiots didn't beleive efestivals then either.

[luckysalt]

I was thinking then who's calling your bluff and then I just realised you're on about the 'official' forums
