Surely Rock AM Ring won't have them on a European-wide festival exclusive?

[cymraeg]

Van Halen to tour in 2011:

http://www.planetrock.com/Article.asp?id=2022610&spid=35830

Melodic Rock have given an update on Van Halen’s plans for next year.

According to the report Van Halen WILL tour in 2011, with North American dates a certainty and European and Australian dates extremely likely. The Herald Sun in Australia reports that the band "...are very close to confirming an Oz visit next year..."

The line-up, despite some rumours that Michael Anthony would return, will remain the same as it was in 2007.

The report says that the band HAVE recorded new material and that a new album will be on the way next year. However, they have apparently not finished the record and so it will not be completed before the tour. The producer will apparently be Ross Hogarth, who has worked with the likes of John Mellencamp, Dio, Motley Crue and the Black Crowes.

It says: "Exklusive Festivalauftritte von Beatsteaks, Volbeat, Mando Diao und In Flames" on the front page and:

In the article which I translate as exclusive to the festivals, along with - I wish someone else other than eFestivals would do news on it so I get a better understanding of the exclusivity

I'm from Germany. You've translated it quite right, but the exclusivity to the festival is just for Germany, not for whole Europe.

If it helps you to kill some rumors for Download: Linkin Park, Foo Fighters and Iron Maiden won't attend Rock am Ring, they have been ruled out by the organisers for 2011. Don't know if this has some impact on Download.

Hiighly unlikely vh will settle for anything below headline. Did any1 go to ozzfest at theo2? Was he any good?

[crosswillcastyourshadow]

My guess is Soundgarden, Foo Fighters & Van Halen.

Not ozzy, purely because ozzfest was put on by killimanjaro, so that says to me that he's more likely for sonisphere

I really don't think Van Halen will even be considered as headliners.

LN have spoken before about how they're not as popular on these shores as they are in the States, and it's not as if they've done anything recently to become more popular. It's been said that they're too expensive to book in a supporting role, and not a big enough draw to book as a headliner.

Plus, when you look at the bands who have played and not headlined - ZZTop, Judas Priest, Whitesnake, Motley Crue, Motorhead, Megadeth etc. Are Van Halen really big enough to be headliners?

I reckon they might headline High Voltage if there's another one of them next year.

So potential headliners for UK 'rock' festivals next year that are relevant include:

Soundgarden

Avenged Sevenfold (Second Stage)

Ozzy

Linkin Park (still big enough? New album was complete crap)

Foo Fighters (Doing own shows, could play others)

Red Hot Chili Peppers (V Festival?)

Tool (Sonisphere would want them most likely)

Muse (are they 'Download' enough?)

Iron Maiden

QOTSA (Big Enough?)

Rob Zombie (Second Stage)

Korn (Sonisphere Under 'Tallica)

My Chemical Romance (Doubt Download would be risking them again, Prob Reading/Leeds)

Metallica (Only do Sonisphere)

Stone Sour (Second Stage at Sonisphere)

Bon Jovi (Doing Own Tour)

The Strokes (Reading/Leeds or V)

Green Day (Reading? Looks like it was set up for them to headline this year but it didn't come off for some reason)

i dont think Korn would be able to headline a stage at the moment. I think that avenged sevenfold are more in the right place right now to headline the second stage
