Download 2011

[Dan R]

I have a feeling next year could be similar to the 2008 "year of lesser headliners". Considering the ammount spent on AC/DC, I think it's entirely feasable we could be seeing some first time headliners.

Linkin Park have a new album out next month, but haven't played Reading/Leeds since 2003, so could well end up there instead.

There's a chance Blink 182 will have a new album out by then so they could play Download to promote that.

In terms of bands waiting in the wings, I just can't see the likes of: Paramore, Biffy Clyro, A7X, Bullet For My Valentine, Trivium etc. Being able to pull in the punters (paramore are arguably big enough, but Download isn't really their audience)

In terms of 1st timers I'd love to see Stone Sour or Machine Head given the nod over the above, but it seems unlikely unless their new albums do alot better than expected.

I wouldn't be against Nickelback, bit of a guilty pleasure and I've never seen them live - and supposedly they are pretty damn good live.

I'm going to take a punt that next year Download will have Bon Jovi - they've made lots of noises this year about doing one or more UK fests next year, and while they're perhaps not a typical Download act, they don't fit any better anywhere else.

[Lithium05]

Wouldn't surprise me. I wouldn't say they're much different (in terms of "Download appeal") to Aerosmith to be honest.

I'm going with:

Soundgarden

Linkin Park/Blink 182/Nickelback

Bon Jovi

...for now.

I'm going for -

Nickelback

Linkin Park

Bon Jovi.

Soundgarden to play at Soni or Reading.

what about muse or red hot chili peppers?? i know theyre not metttalll #makes devil horns sign# but we're going to run out of bands pretty quick if we are going to be narrow-minded in who is or is'nt a 'download headliner'

[Poleski]

QOTSA do warrant a second from top slot. However, it would take the Foo Fighters being there to get me back.

[Spiral_Low]

A Perfect Circle could be in with a shout. If Tool can headline, then I can't see why not

At this stage I think any band, album imminent or not, is a possiblity to play

Hi guys, I wonder whether some of you could help me with info for Download. I have never been to Download before and am trying to gather support amongst my friends for next year. We normally do Hyde Park, but there was enough rock bands on for me this year. Can anybody help me with the following? When are tickets normally released? When are the first bands normally announced? What are facilities like for camping? Some of my little gang like their hotel comforts at Hyde Park, and are worried about not showering for days. So is there enough shower facilities? What is roughly the cost for camping including tickets? Any other info you can help with would be very much appreciated. Thank you!!

Thanks for that. I am happy to rough it but gotta persuade some of my friends about the scarcity of showers. We already got a tent the size of a country mansion, so that should sleep about 10 of us and we live in the Midlands anyway so getting there is not a problem. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

Download website is promoting the hell out of Bullet For My Valentine and Linkin Park's arena tours, so I expect both to be headlining the main stage next year. Perhaps Foo Fighters for the third?

Foos, Queens & Soundgarden next years headliners.

My friend was adamant that she heard Serj on the radio about a fortnight ago saying that SOAD will headline Download next year. But considering no one else on the internet seems to have heard this interview I'd take that with a pinch of salt!
