Lithium05 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Ok, so can anyone explain how announcing 2 bands before the fest makes them "secret" bands?! Surely they are in fact last minute additions. A "secret" band would surely be represented by a fake name or just a gap, not announced! It completely defeats the object! Also surely the fact that they're announcing them, makes it less likely to be Megadeth seeing as I would hope they're not daft enough to say "Megadeth will be opening the tiny 4th stage". That aside, who are we expecting? Mastodon? Soulfly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spengs Muck Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 If Fat Mike is playing with them this time go to the stage door after the gig and ask him! He usually likes to chat to fans after a gig... If it turns out they're not playing tell him to go and beat the shit out of Go:Audio and take their place... you could probably tempt him into it with a bottle of whiskey on a stick Father Jack style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamba Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I'll be amazed if one of them isn't Mastodon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscar Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I think the words of the organisers were along the lines of they are announcing them so that people don't get upset when they find out its not AC/DC and Led Zep... I suppose its after the anti-climax to some parties to the FNM announcement... But I agree, announcing something like Megadeth playing the 4th is just going to cause a whole load of trouble... So we have a few options, either the secret bands are, as you said, late additions playing main stage so just get dropped in like a normal announcement, or we aren't given the names or details just a few clues, OR we don't get told the full story, I am sure I read somewhere there was talk of 3 secret bands, maybe announce 2 to make people think its all done and dusted then throw a 3rd in on the day... Guess its going to become clear soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Enter Shikari and Megadeth, saying that they might just keep Megadeth as The Instigators and not announce them, I dunno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalLegacy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Suicidal Tendencies show on June 15th is billed as their 'only' UK show this year, and, much as I like them, they aren't a big enough draw in my opinion to get people interested. Aren't Saxon also at the Metal Hammer Golden Gods just after Download? They got a good response last year at Download and I wouldn't rule them out. Just thinking about that would be epic!

luckysalt Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 They aren't last minute additions as it was known before the last announcement that there would be 2 secret bands Im really not sure who it is but I've got a feeling that theres some legal loophole that if an act who is playing another festival gets announced for a festival in the week its happening theres no breaking any contracts or something I remember a few years ago GLC got announced for Reading and Leeds the week that V was taking place and they were exclusive to V that year, that was 2005 btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I can't see why on earth if it is Soulfly, they weren't just announced anyway? Not playing any other festivals, aren't trying to sell out a big tour, theres no reason to keep it a secret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
