Them Crooked Vultures - to be confirmed

[r0w]

...according to I'M A DESPERATE SPAMMER. http://www.I'M A DESPERATE SPAMMER.com/download-f...al-2010/lineup/.

so what do they know that we dont? I do remember Andy Copping on twitter a few weeks ago saying their new album was better than anything QOTSA or Foo Fighters have ever done. Quite an over the top statement - why would u make such an over the top statement andy? mmmmmm........now u probably wouldnt overhype a band that are playing a rival festival would you surely?

Well Its not out of the question, but I never believe anything that website puts up

Its probably meant to be last years Reading ha ha

[luckysalt]

They also have Blink 182 TBC for Reading

sounds more like logical guessing on their part.

Them crooked vultures are rumoured for fests in june so it would make sense they play download as well.

Blink 182 have already said they're doing a european tour next year, and wont be doing the earlier side of the festivals who have already got their initial lineups out. It's hardly rocket science they'll be playing.

I may sound cynical, but anyone who remembers the arcade fire test with virtual festivals is why i don't bother with their websites. Can make up rumours on my own

[Sparticus]

im intrigued, can you share?

[Mamba]

Hope this is true, as I've just bought my early bird ticket and TCV + AC/DC is almost worth the ticket price alone (even if VF isn't the most reliable of sources).

[jordanuk90]

I watched TCV at Leeds last year if it is true i'd recommend going to watch them.... Just read about the VF test that was done and thought it was hilarious

[luckysalt]

They're a rumour on efests now

[Lithium05]

2nd Stage headliners. Or second on the main.

Second stage

30 seconds to mars, Funeral for a friend

Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Biffy Clyro, Coheed & Cambria

Second Stage

Enter Shikari, The Gaslight Anthem

Metallica, Heaven & Hell, Bullet for my Valentine, Machine Head, Megadeth

[Lithium05]

I think you may have over reached with the beastie boys!

... or are they not as big in that universe?

Take out Beastie Boys and Van Halen and that looks VERY likley and good too!

[thesecretingredientiscrime]

It is a good shout, but I don't think they'd play that low.

[bekimo]

That particular website is notorious for getting is uncannily wrong!!! However, I do hope they are on to something this time!!!

[eFestivals]

word we're hearing is that they well may be a Reading headliner - in which case I would think Download is hugely unlikely.

[crosswillcastyourshadow]

Wouldn't the foos be more likely for r/l?

Seeing as tcv only managed to fill Apollo sized venues on their UK tour, I wouldn't have put them at headliner status. I'd say they're in the same league as Velvet revolver were when they first came about & there was a buzz behind them.

I think the beastie boys would be perfect at download... they have the perfect cross over appeal.

And I don't think they're quite the same draw nowadays.... so "the prodigy" second stage slot would have been more suited. I can imagine they'd be quite expensive to book though.

[luckysalt]

TCV didn't only manage to fill Apollo sized venues, if they would have upgraded all the tour dates to arenas they would have sold out, the demand was HUGE. They just wanted to play a small uk tour to start off with.

[jordanuk90]

New album due out summer2010 so they should be around also after their appearance at Reading Mervyn Benn or Marvin Benn whatever his name is for arguments sakes lets say Mr Benn came out with a big grin on his face and he's also come out and said his headliners were spoked to and booked at last years R&L

So basically R&L look likely so aslong as they aren't going for the exclusive approach there's a chance for Download

[r0w]

last week it looked like they were headlining Reading....and all of a sudden theyv just gone up to 'Strong Rumour' for Download on the Efests lineup page.....mmmmm wonder what the source of this is?

[chubbz]

AC/DC, Them Crooked Vultures & Metallica headliners then?
