Rumour Thread

[luckysalt]

It would appear so, but I still think its gunna be Soundgarden. I just can't see who else it could be

I hope it's Soundgarden! I can go see Korn and Pendulum and not worry about missing something!!

[WildChildRockChick]

Korn could have asked for their slot. They've done it before - who remembers the carnage that was the tent in 06 (I think it was 06, anyway) They requested that, iirc. Although that was a headline slot?

Still, surprised at Korn subbing Pendulum.

Its already looking like a good line up.

If they add in these somewhere - Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer, Disturbed I'd be even happier.

Hmm i'm a little disapointed with the layout this year. I wasa big fan of Classic rock sunday to be honest. But im well aware they were running out of bands for it.

I wont be happy if Soundgarden get announced at all.

This year seems to have a lot of smaller bands that i'd go watch but nothing is yelling "buy a £200 ticket" to me yet.

I can see Hollywood undead playing same stage as pendulum and korn

Probably GWAR down with Danzig too.

If the 3rd stage on Friday ends up being punky and gets social distortion then i'm there!

[luckysalt]

Im still very happy with the line up and theres still 5 major spots left to be announced. Good times

Ozzy was ruled out months ago - theres a post in this thread about that on about page 2...

found it here you go

What's the source for that ordering?

Neil's got Korn and Danzig on the Saturday, with them and A7X, Alter Bridge and the Cult on unknown stages.

And is there any proof that Soundgarden would be the headliner? Strong Rumour now, but might they be second? It'd be travesty IMO, but possible surely?

The source was as I put down with the post, AC - Andy Copping, the booker of Download, from Twitter, efests has updated now, Im guessing Scottie did it today. He tends to read the forums and pick up on things whereas I don't think Neil bothers with it so much.

They haven't added Frank Turner to the line up though, even though he self confirmed and I posted it in its own thread AND provided a link! What more do they want? Blood! Ha ha

Urgh. General no thanks, and Velvet Revolver specific no thanks. Excellent shout on Europe though, with their tour I think they're very likely to play, and that slot looks about right as well.

Look quite reasonable, apart from Stone Sour. Just.... No thanks.

Escape the Fate are playing mainstage

Escape The Fate - ''UK! Yes the rumors are true. Escape The Fate will be rocking mainstage Download 2011!!''

Was on their facebook and twitter, doesn't say what day but i'm guessing Sunday as they were going to support Bullet on tour, just a guess that tho

[luckysalt]

AC has confirmed on twitter Gaslight Anthem are playing Sunday, don't know what stage

[t8yman]

serious question, can someone explain to me the leap in logic that made Soundgarden a possibility? the last I read they werent planning on playing in europe this year, did I miss something?

If Gaslight are any lower than 4th mainstage it's a f*cking travesty.
