Have we had any 2nd stage headliners?

Reasonably early, about 2.30-3.00ish. Although you did try to get me to abandon my plans to drive home that night in favour of staying and getting wasted

im not sure we have had our 2nd stage headliners....otherwise A.Copping wud have stated that we had, like he did with B4MV. Also im not sure we've had our sub headliners yet. If people are going by the poster and saying Them Crooked Vultures, Deftones & Stone Temple Pilots are the subs then just look at last years poster and see who was playing "3rd down" last year - 'Limp Bizkit, Pendulum & ZZ Top'. I would say all 3 of them "3rd down" bands are bigger than this years subs, which cant be right? surely another announcement for the subs then to come...

Edit: TCV will prob be a sub however as iv just noticed theyv just been announced to headline Roskilde - and barring Glastonbury that is probably Europe's biggest festival.

well surely the extra 30/40,000 tickets will cover for the extra costs of ACDC etc....if all the headliners, sub headliners and 2nd stage headliners have all been booked surely that leaves no excitement for the future announcements....and its only february & we've only had 2 announcements, surely he's kept a couple of gems back....i still think we'l get a big sub yet ie judas priest, deep purple, van halen?

I just assume regular posters were at the efest meet last year and that I'd met them........

The thing is, last year the headliners were smaller bands - no ones would have cost them as much as ACDC / Aerosmith. Thus they had more budget to fill the slots below.

Bigger headliners = smaller bands below, as Download has to stick to a budget. TCV are definitely second, Deftones have played 2nd before and Stone Temple Pilots are.... well I don't even know but I assume they're bigger then Funeral For a friend or Jimmy Eat World 0_o.

There could be more bands up there, but I doubt it - guess it depends on ticket sales more then anything. Personally I think 30STM are a strong shout for a 2nd stage headliner as it seems to be a decent 'opposite' to RATM. Stone Sour too tbh, their main appeal is to a much younger crowd then Aerosmith.

Someone please tell me we are going to find out who the 2nd stage headliners are soon!

If possible, I hope even more that it is not Stone Sour now cus DL have just tweeted this: Corey Taylor: "I can't wait to get Stone Sour back to Download. There should be chaos, there should be disorder, I may take my pants off..."

I yelped. In front of the whole office. People are staring at me!

[tweemo freak]

Just Bullet For My Valentine as far as I know.

[bekimo]

They're clashing with AC\DC, right? Gosh, that makes me glad i'm gonna be at Rockness. That would be a hard clash 4 me! Also, Stone Sour are probably a second stage headline.

[tweemo freak]

Oh I know. I had to do it at V Festival last year. Was a nightmare!

[bekimo]

What two bands was it?

[luckysalt]

I watched Dizzee, he was quality and had a HUGE crowd, and everyone was partying, great atmosphere

[Paul ™]

I have never met you at all!
