Rumour Thread

[Joeclem]

all worth it for the semi confirmation that mastodon wont be taking up a decent spot on the line up though

[luckysalt]

Adding The Dead Lay Waiting to the rumours on first page due to efestivals adding them as a rumour and their confirmation they want to play in the following link

Looks like the following wont be playing. Sonisphere just confirmed them.

Motorhead

Mastodon

In flames

Parkway drive

Shame i was hoping for parkway drive.

[Furious-Red]

Yea would have liked In Flames aswell cause they could play with Pendulum and do Self vs Self

[spwan-of-the-devil]

PENDULUM

WOLFMOTHER

ALTERBRIDGE

Bowling For Soup

The Prodigy

Korn

Gaslight Anthem

Journey

Papa Roach

Thin Lizzy

My Predictions!

[luckysalt]

That for next week? Its over 10 so im guessing its gunna be 11 acts, which will make it 15 acts in total, its gotta be an odd number getting announced, could be 13 acts I suppose.

Thats a great guess but im going for

PENDULUM

ALTERBRIDGE

KORN

THE CULT

THIN LIZZY

PAPA ROACH

SIMPLE PLAN

SOCIAL DISTORTION

IGGY AND THE STOOGES

GASLIGHT ANTHEM

SOUNDGARDEN

and I don't think Soundgarden will be headlining.

[luckysalt]

Nova Rock just announced

Their 3rd and final headliner adding to System of A Down and Iron Maiden is... Linkin Park

So we are sharing two headliners, wonder WHO our third headliner is? I thought it was gunna be the same as Nova Rock but obviously it isn't, thats now Rock AM Ring and Nova Rock with a full set of headliners

They've also added some new acts to the line up in the form of

Social Distortion, Alter Bridge, Hammerfall, The Sounds, Bring Me The Horizon, Alesana, Architects, Katzenjammer, Boysetsfire, Escape The Fate, Kingdom of Sorrow, Times of Grace

I think Bring Me The Horizon are defo playing Download but won't get announced next week due to their UK tour first

[luckysalt]

Times of Grace above is Adam & Jesse Leech D from Killswitch Engage, Id say they're gunna play Download too, maybe not announced next week though, cus we know Andy loves his KSE [so do I]

Says next to KINGDOM OF SORROW - Jamey Jasta / Hatebreed, Kurt Winstein / Crowbar

[Spengs Muck]

id love for social distortion and iggy and the stooges personally

[gibbydanzig]

[rivalschools.price]

[pearljam86]

I can't wait. I think the announcement will be on the 31st.

I reckon the announcement will be something like:

Papa Roach

Buckcherry

Pendulum

Skindred

Korn

Murderdolls

Black Veil Brides

Lynyrd Skynyrd

The Cult

Black Label Soceity

Parkway Drive

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The Cult apparently self confirmed download and isle of wight last night.

[t8yman]

wonder what the chances are of Funeral For A Friend?

their new stuff is pretty good.

[pearljam86]

They just posted a barcode on facebook and when you scan it, it says there are 14 bands being announced this monday!

[spwan-of-the-devil]

The Pixes on FB say they have an major announcement next week! Thought it was worth posting and I can hope

Knew The Cult would be playing, did Masters of Reality say anything? cus it looks like they're doing the Europe fests with them too. Hope so.

And Spawny! If thats true and we get Pixies that would be f**king amazing, saw them at Reading 2005, quality band, timeless. sub on main stage? PLEASE not a second stage headliner up against SOAD, I'd cry...

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Upcoming looking, it said this week, and then it was their US and Canadian tour in April and right at the start of May, or is there something im missing?

[gibbydanzig]

new album arrived from amazon yesterday,awesome.

[luckysalt]

So getting close to 24 hours before the announcement and efests have no leaks, not like in 2009 when they got nearly all the main acts

But lets have a look at whos looking likely to be announced tomorrow

Alter Bridge - playing fests around Download, Andy said Miles Kennedy would be back

Pendulum - Rob from the group self confirmed on twitter, Andy gave his news to me ho hum [meaning they're playing] remark

The Cult - self confirmed at Bristol gig, Andy has seen given in on twitter and said yes they're playing

Wolfmother - said they'd be be back in Europe for the dates they pulled out of in 2010, Andy said news to me... likely but not 100%

Korn - playing fests around Download, haven't been announced for Soni and Andy AGAIN did his news to me on twitter when asked

Skunk Anansie - self confirmed at a gig, played Soni last year

Skindred - Have been telling people they're playing this year, word of mouth only this one

Buckcherry - self confirmed, everywhere.

Papa Roach - Told people on the last UK tour they'll be playing Download

Rock Sugar - They and Andy have both siad they'll be back this year, might not be announced tomorrow

Bring Me The Horizon - Andy basically said they'll be playing although they might not be announced yet due to their tour

Gaslight Anthem - Andy said he would book them for Download this year, and they have since been announced for Rock AM Ring, looking very likely

Social Distortion - Playing fests all around Download, and seem like they would be a very popular choice

Those are the ones that look like 90% gunna be announced tomorrow. Maybe not BMTH yet due to tour. But that could easily be just over half the announcement. Would we be happy? I would, although a Queens of the Stone Age, Weezer or Black Label Society would be awesome, BLS are more likely for a future announcement however if they're playing due to their Feb tour

As the other thread said

The Damned Things just self confirmed on twitter so guessing they'll be announced tomorrow
