''poster'' on first page has been updated

[thedudeman]

graspop have added korn cradle of filth a7x and disturbed

[the_mars_volta]

Would very much like Cradle of Filth. It's been 5 years since they last played.

[thejimbola]

Sounds like Tool are the last headliner. 3 repeat headliners it is then!

[luckysalt]

Yup could be Tool with Soundgarden underneath perhaps?

Defo looking like its Tool now

[luckysalt]

I asked them how sure are you of this percentage wise and is it Tool with Soundgarden subbing and they replied

''No comment (60%)''

EDIT - Thats Thrash Hits by the way who broke this tonight.

They were right about the Thrash 4 at Soni, and a lot else, but they've also been wrong as well. The right outweighs the wrong however

[rivalschools.price]

jesus!!! so if this is true then friday will be tool,korn,alter bridge,thin lizzy and possibly soundgarden.that will be my best festival day ever.

[jiggerjay]

Personally I think the third headliner could go to either Limp Bizkit, Black Sabbath (who recently re-entered the studio) or soundgarden.

[jiggerjay]

Edit... Not Tool!!!!!

[Furious-Red]

Where did the tool thing come from?

EDIT: Nevermind seen the other topic

[gibbydanzig]

Ive been trying to look into some acts who could be the last headline act for the main stage and found out some shit

You probably know most of this but here goes..

OZZY is free for Friday 10th he has gigs on the 9th in finland and 11th sweeden with a good break before and after these dates for a rest ??

Foo Fighters are free on the 10th and have gis on 9th switzerland and 11th isle of wight (close by)

Bon Jovi are a no go as they play Dresden on Friday 10th

I can find any tour dates or news at all for Soungarden but this could be a one off show ?

And also Velet Revolver look as if they have their new singer in Corey Taylor and im sure i read a while ago somewhere that he loves Download more than any other festival

so i wonder ???

[Spengs Muck]

sonisphere just added weezer, diamondhead, architects and airbourne as festival exclusives; not sure theyw ere really rumoured for download anyway

though i know a lot were hoping for weezer

[t8yman]

That's f**king shit news for download.

Why the f**k have soni scooped download on so many bands?

[Sparticus]

every year i hold out for download to book weezer and it never comes through.

copping will gladly go 'out there' and book random acts to make it more diverse but seems he wont boom staple non-metal bands that people would actually want to watch.

more or less every year im left looking at the radio 1 lock up stage at leeds/reading and thinking....why cant they play Download? i dont want to go to leeds, i especially dont want to buy a day ticket for a few bands.

Its just a shame that he seems to pay very little attention to 'punky' bands.

i know not everyone is into that kind of thing, but a bit of fun in the sun couldn't hurt riiiight?

Tool and Soundgarden. two bands i have absolutely no interest in

[luckysalt]

Copping said he was trying to book Weezer this year, im a bit miffed he hasn't got them but its not a deal breaker. It must be due to their tourimng pattern rather than a money issue, bet Weezer play TITP and Oxegen as well now.

I hope he can still get weezer, don't give a f**k about exclusives, I just wanna watch em again, they f**kin pwned reading last year

[hardygra]

I would be very happy if Tool & Soundgarden were Friday headliners.
