At this rate the headliners could be...

[tohellweride]

ACDC

Soundgarden

Limp Bizkit

[MJMilz14]

2/3rds right but where on earth did you get Limp Bizkit from?! Why would they suddenly jump to headliner?

[jackass]

AC/DC

Metallica

Soundgarden

Download fest has twittered this

Off with the Xmas hat for another year. Back to reality tomorrow...

I doubt very much it means an announcement though

[Lithium05]

My Chemical Romance

[r0w]

Soundgarden are now listed as a rumour on efests

[tweemo freak]

Seems more likely that they're playing Reading. What with the guitarist twittering "OMG Reading&Leeds!!!"* about the time they started booking acts.

2nd stage headliners I reckon

*or something to that effect

[MetalDave]

One of Download Festivals twitters today, someone said. "When will the first announcement be?" or something to that effect and the reply was "Very Soon"

Excited!

Hasn't AC been saying the announcement will be very soon since like October?

[eFestivals]

word we've had today from the press office has indicated that Download will be officially launched earlier this year.
