You know, thats EXACTLY what I was thinking.

The source of this has come from the Reviews Editor of Q Magazine, he posted it prior to Sabbath being announced

Rumours abound that headlining Download 2012 alongside Metallica are Black Sabbath and The Prodigy. *cack-handed devil sign*

He posted that before Sabbath today, aren't Q and Kerrang part of the same company, im pretty sure TV wise they are, so maybe magazines too and they share the same offices, I think it could happen. They've played download twice, go down vey well, huge back catalogue, recently rose again in popularity, are well recieved with the download goers even if they don't like them they respect them for 20 years plus in the industry. AND Andy said he would give them a chance as headliner last year.

Time will tell but who knows? It would be a good Friday headliner and Second stage could have a classic headliner opposite.

Heres the link by the way, Q magazine retweeted it also

97.

And I'll be in some kind of "emperors new clothes" situation where everyone else is lapping it up, and I'm one of the few people willing to admit the c*nts are naked (so to speak)

I would be delighted with any of those, Foos in particular for the "never played Download" factor.

Just to elaborate further on my Prodigy loathing, I really don't see the appeal of an act who "perform" by shouting "my *insert venue of gig* people" and "my *gig venue* warriors" repeatedly over recordings of them actually singing/shouting. It's shite, barely a step up from the likes of Britney Spears or Linkin Park who at least have the decency to pretend to perform their songs.

I believe so too, they won at least one best live act/rock act award a little while back now. best rock act and awards recently.

I still think Muse are hard to beat but Linkin Park do it amazingly time after time jumping around the stage, sweating their arses off too which is tough to do.

Yeah you're right there mate they did win an award for it and i don't normally agree with the critics to be honest but after seening Muse last year and Linkin Park at Download this year I think LP are slightly better live in terms of sound but Muse probably win in terms of fancy production, I like Chester's style of singing better than Matt's though so i am probably biased.

Erm, I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm sure it's fairly common knowledge that Linkin Park mime the shit out of their "live performances", which is why it sounds so crisp, the only ones in Linkin Park actually doing anything live is him on the decks and the sound technicians. I've seen them live more than I probably should have (5 times I think) and from the third time onwards I got wind of the miming, and once you know it's clear as day.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
