I'd love both too, ain't seen NOFX in near to 10 years I think

and QOTSA are always amazing IMO, I know a lot of people don't get them live though and find them dull, can see it being TCV all over again

Just read this comment on the news story confirming SOAD on the kerrang website:

"Soundgarden are headlining Friday, System Of A Down are headlining Saturday, and Metallica are headlining Sunday.

They NEED to do a separate UK tour, although the other bands playing Download (Avenged Sevenfold, Tenacious D, ect.) do add to the appeal..."

Obviously take it with a pinch of salt, but the confidence with which this was stated must count for something!
