I stand by what i said from the very begining.. It will be Nickelback.

[Spengs Muck]

Can see it happening

[t8yman]

i think nickelback would be a f**king major mistake for coppo.

I certainly wont be buying early bird next year. unless this next announce blows my balls off.

[LethalLegacy]

I've given up trying to guess who the 3rd headliner is given how drawn out the whole process is. That said, it's really going to swing where I'm headed this summer. I just found out I can't have the Friday off for Soni so that's buggered any chance of catching the Big 4 there.

I really hope at the very least there's a few positive surprises and maybe even one or two acts I'd never expect to play. The line-up doesn't kick enough ass for me at present. Hopefully that will change with this announcement.

Wolfmother have been announced for Rock AM Ring today. They said they were guna play the dates they missed last year, so guessing theyll be in the nxt announcement, would like them under alterbridge rather than take a 3rd place mainstage slot (like last yr) on sat and sun.

[spwan-of-the-devil]

MCR ive accepted could headline, and they fit down Coppings Rule book, *played before - check, Small sized Friday headliner - Check, New album out - Check and been down the classical route - Check

Tool or Pearl Jam Pritty please

Soundgarden feel as well will play..

MCR are heavily touted as one of the exclusive R&L headliners, although I won't be shedding any tears if they get announced for Download.

[JJDarkeye]

I think the only way they will compete with Soni is if they have some Ledgends being anounced.

I think this headliner is essencial to Download regaining its glory, and MCR or Nicleback would totally throw the festival in the bin.

I dont think The Scorpions have enough to become headliners, but at a push, fair enough.

PS. Sorry about all the spelling mistakes....i'm tired.

Why aren't the Pixies ever mentioned regarding Download? They may be distinctly alternative rather than rock or metal but they're no less suitable than MCR.

[Mamba]

I'm a bit out of touch with rumours this year, but Down are just confirmed for Rock Hard Festival in Germany the same weekend so look a strong possibility.

[Stalemate]

9 days till the announcement, I'm excited but worried it might be a huge dissapointment.

[t8yman]

well soni have just announced Limp Bizkit as exclusives, and a handful of others. soni has more bands announced and is a month later than download. coppo better have something good lined up.

[jammy2211]

Soni is truly ****ting on DOwnload this year thus far.

AC really needs to pull it together in the announcement... I'm not expecting much though tbh.

[luckysalt]

Gotta say soni getting LB is a wounder for me, but subbing slipknot is a massive slot they werent guna get at download. So thats prob why.

[bekimo]

Just a question, your not the only one - but why does everyone refer to Friday as the smaller headline day? Kiss in 08 were the biggest headliner that year and ACDC with 2010...

[JJDarkeye]

In all honesty, i think Download is gonna need a few big bands, and i mean BIG , to keep up with Soni. At the rate that Soni are getting in the best bands, I think that the only way to run equally is to book Led Zep, Black Sabbath ect. It's not going to happen, but its the only way

[r0w]

dont get why everyone is raving about the Soni lineup being so great?? looks crap tbh and ive already gota ticket for it cos of the free nova rock ticket they handed out. Okay Friday at Soni looks good because its the Big 4...but still all 4 of them have been touring over here constantly over the last few years. Saturday looks pure shite. The top 2 bands Biffy and Weezer...4th and 3rd Top bands at Reading last year with Biffy playing other gigs and smaller festivals this summers, so hardly massive draws especially for headlining and subbing. wtf?? And Sunday looks average, Slipknot an overated headliner in my opinion and Limp Bizkit - both bands on the festival circuit in 2009 and LB also playing 5th top at Reading last year. And the other bands listed are bands most people have already seen if theyre a regular festival goer in the last few years. Defently the last 2 Soni's had much better lineups without a doubt!

[Joeclem]

dont know why everyones spunking over sonisphere tbh. the big four are the most overtouring bands on the circuit, and im a big metallica fan. the fact that theyre all together is irellevant for me. slipknot are superb, but limp bizkit as, essentially, subheadlinerS? and biffy and weezer as far up as they are too? are any of those bands bands that havent played download or reading in the last 3 years? they need to book a big band who hasnt played one of the big festivals for a while, they just book repeats.

I also don't really rate Sonisphere's line up. I might get a day ticket for Saturday but that's because Biffy and Weezer are my two fave bands, but overall I'd say Download's line up is stronger.
