Announcement at 10am

[pearljam86]

From Twitter

Psssst! Got a small announcement to make in just over an hour, stay posted. Don't tell the Facebook lot - they'll only whinge! #DL2011

And by 'small', I mean it's only going to be one band - the band itself is rather freakin big #DL2011

My guess is The Darkness.

Probably, it's already in the media they are back together so he's rushing to announce it now.

What a load of shit.

It was Skunk Anansie

playing saturday main in slot 3

[pearljam86]

I'll be honest, I've never listened to them. I was going to guess they would be the 3rd top on Saturday, has that been officially announced?

I'll give them a listen and if I like them I'll probabaly see them as I want to be at main for A7X and SOAD anyway.

[ampersand]

good announcement. but still not worth 24 hours of work for me.

[brfcstar]

Sweet been hoping for these to be annouced for a while they were great at V last year

[Spengs Muck]

Yeah its official AC, Download and Kerrang announced it on Twitter (including when and where they are playing which is novel)

[radstocker]

What does this mean from AC??

Is it a dig at The Darkness??

"The impact got lost little but hey, what can you do. I'm starting to hate bands!"

No it's aimed at Skunk Anansie. DL said not to announce til 10am. They announced to their fans before then, thus meaning that the impact of AC's announcement had diminished somewhat as everyone already knew!

Said so yesterday! AC was ignoring me when he usually replies so had a hunch it was guna happen. Very happy. Amazing live band and great spot for them

[t8yman]

I'm happy about this, a band I have never seen, and I have always liked their stuff. I plyed their album with "weak" on it to death when I was younger.

[devilman]

I was starting to get worried they wouldn't play after self announcing ages ago. This is brilliant news. They are teh awesomes live. Skin makes me want to have a sex wee in my pants

[fantomas]

saw them in Novemeber in Brixton not expecting a whole lot, and they were brilliant. You'll enjoy.

Fantastic band - hard to believe they headlined Glastonbury back in 1999 - great set!

[bekimo]

I have "weak" stuck in my head after hearing it several times today! People keep sending it me and its rude not to listen!

[cornucopia]

Do they really warrant 3rd from top though? Not so sure if I'm honest.
