[TYLER_4]

my fingers are crossed. ill be all over download if tool are the third headliner

[Lithium05]

I don't think it will be tool, largely because it genuinely seems too good to be true for the three headliners to be that impressive! (I know I know, Metallica are over here all the time, but come on, it IS Metallica, and it has been a long time since they played Download!)

[biffoire]

I agree. I'm not holding out much hope for the 3rd headliner as the 2 we have are so awesome. At this stage, Machine Head could headline and I wouldn't care.

[Old Mosher]

I for one would be pleased, they did a great headline set a few years back. Was it 2006 ?

[TYLER_4]

im just way too excited at the thought of tool headlining, i know its probably too good to be true but you never know

^{Tool would be insaneee,}

[TYLER_4]

does anyone know when the third headliner is being annnounced??

[lharris92]

they will probably announce a few other bands then after that the next headliner.

[luckysalt]

Probably next year the third headliner will be announced, they'll let Soni announce some stuff first and then will keep the third headliner back until Feb I reckon, as the ticket prices go up Jan 30th. They'll want something to push with the price increase.

As said above they'll possibly announce some undercard in the meantime however.

Motley Crue and Machinehead are almost guareented to play but their UK tours isn't until mid decemeber, so neither will be anounced until after that and those two will be two of the biggest undercard acts to be announced.

The ticket prices are the same as this year when they go on sale this Friday, they will stay at this price until Jan 30th when they go up to 2012 prices, will no doubt be a rise of £10 maybe £20. But it hasn't been confirmed what this new price will be.

Day tickets usually don't go on sale for a while, It all depends how well things sell before you can tell if you can buy on the door, usually yes.

[Slavivlad]

Will the price increase be announced before the 30th Jan or will we just have to wait until then to see it ?

[TYLER_4]

anyone feel tool could still be playing? even if theyre not headliners?

[Asher7]

Gone up as a rumour on the Efestivals page, anyone know where that's come from?

[TYLER_4]

there seems to be a very faint rumour they could be playing after some bullshit NME article. it wont happen.

[luckysalt]

Yeah like Tyler said, its been there a few weeks, its a rumour, thats what rumours are, if it was TBC that would be something different entirely

[jump]

Can't remember but was the NME article saying TOOL & Blink might be playing before or after the headliners were announced?

Afterwards

[TYLER_4]

touring the US Jan next year, theyve got to make a UK apperance its been far too long. DL or Soni place your bets

[luckysalt]

I got a feeling top 3 main stage Sunday is gunna be

Black Sabbath

Tool

Lamb of God

just a feeling...

[jmdt83]

I really hope Tool play main stage before Metallica that would be so much better to warm up with than Biffy 'should be at radio 1 big weekend' Clyro.

[lharris92]

dude, metallica requested biffy as their sub, they are hardly going to put another headlining act below them. i know biffy have headlined soni but they obviously don't mind subbing as they are at IOW too subbing there.

besides biffy have a broad appeal theres nothing wrong with them.
