Next new announcement 23rd Feb..Hopefully

[t8yman]

That's shite (lep and darkness)

I'd rather qotsa

[Joeclem]

QOTSA would be great, saw them before Rage... 3 years ago? at reading and they were dull, but last year they were really up for it and put in a hell of a performance

Def Leopard would be a bit poo as they were only there 2 years ago, but its just one band, and if they can get The Darkness or Velvet Revolver to sub i'd be well up for that!!

[luckysalt]

QOTSA with VR subbing, that would be bliss for me

The Darkness can play 5th down or sumat, just do not care one bit, they have and always will be IMO shite

[r0w]

They're now saying that its Def Leppard and The Darkness

Jesus thats AWFUL

[TheBrokenMinor]

Singer for Bowling For Soup said this on twitter to a fans question:

jaret2113: Hmmmmm...maybe I'll answer that next week. “@Mattockham: @jaret2113 You guys playing Download this year ?”

[kaosmark2]

I still don't rate Velvet Revolver much. Far better than the Darkness/Nickelback/MCR rumours floating around, but still wouldn't inspire me to go for the whole weekend. QOTSA getting a headline slot on the Friday might, depending how many UK dates they announce.

[bekimo]

Oooh yeh. I like Bowling for Soup.

[luckysalt]

Six days and counting and we haven't got a clue.

Weird huh?

[dan666]

I do hope its good as im really considering Sonisphere this year. SOAD i have to see so might get a day tick but Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, Weezer and the big 4 are all big acts that i cant really miss.

Its a shame as every year AC manages to pull some big bands but this year i think he's struggling.

[luckysalt]

For me with the bookings of SOAD and Rob Zombie, those are the big draws, I do hope we get something good on Mainstage headlining cus Im really not fussed with Pendulum or Danzig.

[t8yman]

So glad I'm not the only one. Pendulum suck balls and when I saw Danzig support tallica on the justice tour, Glenn Danzig proved himself to be the biggest tit in rock.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I'm not bothered by either band, I could probably watch Pendulum and enjoy them but they bore me immensly nowadays.

[luckysalt]

AC says the announcement might be Tuesday now instead. But still undecided, Tues or Weds.

[gibbydanzig]

I think Download need a good old fashion Thrash Metal band on the line up

None of your new rap/metal or crossover band with 8 singers just a good old THRASH band

If YOU had to pick 1 outside the big 4 at sonisphere who would you go for ?

I myself would pick 'OBITUARY'

[t8yman]

exodus, testament or kreator

[spwan-of-the-devil]

SWEET! Thats a confirmation right there if there ever was one!

Theres a guy on Melodic Rock saying Def Leppard, The Darkness, Twisted Sister and Cheap Trick are all playing [well we knew Cheap Trick]

Really hope the Def Leppard thing is bullshit

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I'd be suprised if the announcement doesn't leak, the poster has already been made according to DownloadFest on twitter.

I know it wouldn't affect it too much but TITP announce on Tuesday so he might wait till Wednesday to get max media exposure
