A band that headlined Reading in 08, Sonisphere 09, Sonisphere 11 and now Download 12 due to bringing their tour forward a year, they have over done it and really do need to go away for a while.

A band who's frontman can't handle a full headlining set anymore, can barely talk and stage show consists of barely being able to pull down his trousers and throwing a bucket of water, whilst shouting "Come On". The general public only really know 2-3 songs and judging by their show, 6 years ago, was extremely boring.

and the last band who have headlined the 2nd stage every year up until now, are headlining due to Copping blowing his load on the other 2 headliners.

Yeah awesome.

Compared to what soni has rumoured, yes, it is. :D

Also, at least Prodigy have headlined before. 2nd stage or not, more than biffy fucking clyro did. you know your in trouble when the organisers start talking about giving the smaller bands a break because they can't book enough actual headliners. ;)

Big enough to headline sonisphere, Sure. Or Wakestock. :P

Other than that they're more a support act.

(Soni rumours I've seen so far have been Green Day, Kiss, Soundgarden, Van halen.)

Sweden Rock Festival Van Halen will NOT tour in Europe this summer

I'm guessing that's info they have as a result of trying to book them.

There's quite a few angles around that which could lead to it being completely wrong - the main one being that agent's will often spout any old shite to people who approach them to book an act. Sat where I am I get to hear loads of them all the time.

That's not me saying that's definitely wrong. But it might be.

I think people need to calm down a bit over the dl/soni rivalry, particularly since soni have announced fuck all so far.

I await with baited breath the soni announcement as I am going again- and probably giving dl a miss due to not enjoying last year. The weather was fucking dreadful - not the organisers fault obviously- but a fucking drag none the less!

Both fests have their merits, and both have their faults.

Does anyone actually have a clue who the headliners will be or are we just guessing at this stage?

Seems odd that no really solid rumours are out there. Either Sonisphere are doing a great job of keeping it under wraps or they haven't bloody booked anyone yet.

That Scuzz thing the other night was a joke too.

I'm still going to both Download and Sonisphere but I want to know what I'm paying for dammit!

      So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.

      I think the level of headliners Bloodstock get is varied    There's been bands who have gone on to play Download in quite a low spot like Meshuggah, Behemoth, Opeth etc.    Then they've had years like 2025 where you can argue that all three headliners are download main stage sub level    Knocked Loose right now i'd argue are 3rd down on main/opus headliner level while EC and FFDP are borderline main stage sub
