Ah of course - the correct rumours thread! I'd been posting all the latest rumours in 'Next announcement' purely because it was nearer the top <_<

Well, to summarise, the latest s/c are:

Black Spiders

Sacred Mother Tongue

And latest rumours:

Heaven's Basement, Mastodon, Daughtry, Gama Bomb, Cynic, Valient Thorr, and as mentioned above, Me First and The Gimme Gimmes.

If they all got announced in the next announcement, I'd be really happy.

I felt the same about Mastodon as a lot of you do, until I heard Crack The Skye, and my eyes were opened. They are f**king awesome - and if you cant spare an hour or two to listen to crack the skye once or twice - you are missing out. Trust me - I thought they were shite 6 months ago.

i SERIOUSLY need to get 'Crack The Skye', but have to resist buying it till the end of the month, already bought a fair few too many albums since payday the other week! damn drunk & itunes combination!!!

i've got 'Remission' and 'Blood Mountain' and have to admit i prefer the former, but i wanna see what the fuss is about on this new one.

live tho... not up to what i hoped. saw them supporting Tool and then at Download '07, and while they were far from bad, they by no means rocked my world. but still, i'd watch them again, and if they don't announce any other European dates over the Download weekend following the uk tour, i wouldn't be surprised to see them there...

Mastodon are awesome, without a doubt. I wasn't keen on them at first - 1st song I heard by them was 'Workhorse', which probably wasn't a good place to start. But then I heard a little bit of 'Leviathan' in a record shop before seeing them support Slipknot + Slayer. The 20 minutes they got were phenomenal. I was blown away in the first 30 seconds. Got 'Leviathan' the next day, listened to it start to finish and was awestruck further still.

Seen them on their own tour and twice at Download since them, brilliant every time - but definitely better in the smaller venue.

Provided no awkward clashes - and providing they are confirmed, of course - I'd definitely go see them a fifth time.

Daughtry are no longer rumoured - according to the official forums, it seems the thread touting them as a rumour has been deleted and subsequently labelled 'a fake'.

Rise To Remain are the latest self-confirm.

A guy I used to work with drums for a band called The Defiled (supported Opeth and Deathstars recently) and apparently thay've been offered the chance to play Download and plan on accepting. <_<

I'm clearly clutching at straws for new rumours now!

A band called New Device (signed to Classic Rock magazine's Powerage label) are supporting Steadlur on June 9th in London. Possible rumour for 3rd or 4th stage, perhaps.

Those Dinosaur Jr. dates are interesting. I remember when they played in 2005 on the Main Stage though. Practically all but about a couple of thousand people stuck around for them so they could all go watch My Chemical Romance instead. What a travesty. They all missed out on a quality set.

Moving swiftly on...

Soulfly have just confirmed two UK dates in Brighton and London on June 15th and 16th respectively. That is all. :ph34r:

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
