2nd Stage Headliners revealed?

[LethalLegacy]

Just browsed Metal Hammer for any snippets of Download-related news and came across this:

Metal Hammer --> Download Days and Stages revealed?

They seem to have Motley Crue, The Prodigy and Trivium as second stage headliners.

While they do seem logical choices, if this is true, personally I think clashing Faith No More with Motley and Slipknot with The Prodigy is another case of the organisers shooting themselves in the foot.

Opinions?

Meh, clashes happen, that's part and parcel of a festival.

I think they are fairly logical choices.

think they're basing it on the poster like most of the official forum people are. i can believe it, tho the Prodigy/Slipknot clash will kill me...

edit: yep, they are!

Didn't Download used to do a thing where the main stage and second stage headliners didn't clash?

In 2005 In Flames finished early to allow as many people to see Black Sabbath as possible (I think - at least that's what the laminate indicates). But never any other time have they scheduled the different stage headliners at different times.

Not fussed too much about Def Leppard and Trivium clashing, I think I'm already decided over that if that is the case. Would be gutted about the other two but hey, what can you do?

Apart from Sundays every year

You would have thought they'd do a last minute 'in your face' jiggle of line up concerning Slipknot and The Prodigy especially because Sonisphere used that as an example in thier publicity of bands not clashing.. apparently not.

[Salt_On_Everything]

that didn't sell me to Sonisphere tho, it means having no other option to the f**k-awful Linkin Park!

f**k-awful Linkin Park!
