Next years headlines?

[tomdsjames]

And just realised I haven't actually posted who I'd like as headliners yet.

Friday - Blink 182/Green Day

Saturday - SOAD/Rammstein

Sunday - AC/DC/Aerosmith

Any of those combinations if we're sticking to this years alternative/current metal/classic rock

[meosl]

Friday - Foo Fighters/GreenDay

Saturday - Bruce Dickinson (solo)

Sunday - AC/DC or Heaven and Hell

[Salt_On_Everything]

I almost put this in its own thread because i got so f*cking excited.

Rammstein article in MetalHammer.

Richard Z Kruspe (Guitarist for the band):

"We're planning about 200 shows, including festivals, and some of those will be in the UK!"

Now im not sure whether hes talking about the 200 shows or the festival appearances. But if its festivals Download is surely a prime contender!??!

I reckon after the success of this year there'll definately be a classic rock day again, can't see any of the above headlining such a day, but I do think they're reasonable shouts. 2 of them and Deep Purple or the like would make sense.

Just out of interest are Rammstein really considered headliner material? Last tour they were just playing academy shows (I believe) and they haven't done much since! I'm not disputing that it would be awesome and epic, but surely they wouldn't be too big for the second stage if (eg) Blink 182 headlined the main!

I can't help but feel people are overestimating the popularity of an act whose songs aren't even in English!

im pretty sure if soundgarden reform - and im pretty sure they will....theyl headline Download cos they wud kinda be in a similar boat as FNM were this year - Probably not quite big enough to headline Reading/Leeds but certainly big enough to headline Download...so a Headliner slot may be more appealing to them. Plus i think Chris Cornell enjoyd his time at Download this year!

soundgarden, rammstein and ac/dc as headliners? f**k yes

[luckysalt]

How long do you call for a while? Their last reading/leeds was 6 years ago next year

[luckysalt]

IMO Soundgarden aren't big enough to headline main stage, im sure many will disagree

[thegremlin_1999]

Soundgarden would easily headline. Especially on the back of a reformation. No smaller than fnm this yr. Plus if u remember chris cornell was booked second down the bill on his own in 2008 before he pulled out.

It'd be bloody awesome too!

[Lithium05]

I'm probably in the minority who would prefer an Audioslave reunion...

Soundgarden would be cool though!

[Dukeeyyy]

Metallica are a potential because they have done reading and leeds and sonisphere so might finish it off with Download

[newenjoy]

Hai They will also probably get Biffy Clyro but not headlining and if System don't play it will be Mettalica. Wow if they got that it really would wanna go and they might cos i based the list on current renunions and new albums.

[irons]

MCR won't play, too soon. More likely headliners for NME stage at T, or The Othere stage at Glastonbury.

If I was guessing I'd say:

Rammstein.

SOAD.

Deep Purple.

[Lithium05]

SOAD won't be reforming just yet. Certainly not in time to play Download, 2011 at the earliest I reckon, if at all.

[6t6o6m]

I'm thinking (wanting)....

Friday - Blink

Sat - Rammstein

Sun - Alice Cooper or Pearl Jam

[Lithium05]

According to the official forums AC/DC have confirmed they'll be in Europe in June..... could it be?! I'm not getting my hopes up, but it would be the best thing ever to happen ever in the history of ever....

[Gedmundo]

2 big pieces of news ragarding a classic rock headliner rumour.

As the above poster says, AC/DC are rumoured (not so sure about confirmed) to be playing 2 shows in Turin and adding a UK show in June (could be download)

The second is that Bon Jovi has a 5 date residency of the O2 arena, (7th, 8th, 10th, 11th, 13th) with the Saturday of Download free.

[Lithium05]

If they (Bon Jovi) are doing a 5 day residency at the O2, Download seems unlikely. Why would they book a band who everyone who wants to could see at their own shows? The point of a headliner is pulling in people who don't have the oppertunity to see the band anywhere else!

Edit: I bet they're playing IOW on the Saturday.
