r0w Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I think the 3rd headliner is pretty obvious & everyones missed it! This band..... *Never Played Download Before (doubt AC is gona select 3 headline repeat bookings!) *Have'nt played the UK in donkey's years *Fit The Classic Rock Tag *Have A Huge cult following *They would only ever accept headlining *Headlined some European Sonispheres last Summer....but dont seem to be contracted to play any Soni's next summer but have announced 1 UK show next year....so are available *Totally different to SOAD and Linkin Park so tick the variety box section. *Andy Copping hasnt ruled them out but seems to have ruled out all the other 'headliner' suggestions ....surely it is MANOWAR ...this is what my gut is telling me....and my gut instinct is normally very reliable.....so i think efests can now add them as a rumour...make that strong rumour! edit. and note i am not a Manowar fanboy, bloody cant stand them myself!

luckysalt Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) I think [and hope] r0w is joking, cus there is ABSOLUTELY no way Manowar are headlining main stage at Download. AC even said that they could MAYBE headline second stage at a push, but even that was a stretch. EDIT - hadn't seen r0w had said AC hasn't ruled them out, he has, he said they're nowhere near popular enough in the UK to headline Edited December 23, 2010 by luckysalt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckysalt Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 No way, thats pretty bad of them, Nova Rock gets some good line ups. I saw Andy say something about on twitter about Soni up to something but I never heard about this offer, Soni haven't advertised it very well.

gazza_20 Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I reckon we could be loooking at Evanescence playing so maybe a headliner than would fit above them? I would love to see Pendulum again but as someone said I have a feeling too they'll be 2nd headliner so as can get the visual properly as copping had particularly mentioned that, and subbing headliner or 3rd main stage wouldn't provide full benefit.

bekimo Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 tbh it is a genius move on sonispheres part. They give u the free choice of a Nova Rock Ticket.....or 2 free tickets....yes 2 tickets! to sonisphere in poland and Soni in Czech Rep - both only 1 day but guess what??? again...the same weekend as Download!

the_mars_volta Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Would f**king love to see Evanescence at Download. Very excited to hear their new album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0w Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Genius possibly. But it's still really annoying for those of us that already have tickets for DL and Soni, and we get no free tickets at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bekimo Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Simple, sell your Download ticket and apply for your free Nova Rock ticket which your entitled to on the sonisphere website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duggie20 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 I saw all the news pieces on Evanescence this weekend and their 'amazing' new album. God I hope they're at Soni, don't want them anywhere near Download [/quo I didn't think much to them at DL07 although i think they had a few sound problems, i prefer Within Temptation myself who i thought were amazing in 08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 anyone reckon that korns annoucement of them and disturbed doing a co-headline of the weapon's tour ending in march in america so far with further dates to be added is a good shout for download?

Lithium05 Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Evanescence would probably make sense as a second stage headliner.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckysalt Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Download twitter when asked when is announcement. 'youre gonna have to wait a bit longer for an announcement. It will be worth it though, big news coming soon' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinny Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I say it every year, but I think this year NFG are a real possibility, they have an album due out in July, and will be in Europe in May/June time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shinny Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Yeah, I put this up last night, how Alter bridge aren't down as SR let alone TBC on efestivals now I dunno. Also Scottie surely Social Distrotion need to be a R too now. Ah well, if Alter Bridge don't get announced next week, I'll eat my hat! and its dirty!
