[jordanuk90]

So Andy announced tonight we have a minimum of 12 bands being announced soon. Any guesses on who it will be and when it will be announced?

[biffoire]

Cancer Bats. Therapy? Alkaline Trio.

[Go_Go_Tonymon]

The Presidents Of The United States Of America, Halestorm, Theory Of A Deadman, The All American Rejects maybe?

i reckon the announcement will be early March, next Friday hopefully

[luckysalt]

Im hoping for Fozzy mainly

[STEVEYBOY]

I am guessing we are looking at a couple of more main stage bands, five or six second stage and some third stage bands

Cancer Bats seems a popular choice and would also get my vote

I wouldn't mind a few death metal bands added to the list

[cornucopia]

according to tw@tter it's now 22 bands!

[luckysalt]

Bloody hell, love it, 22 acts at least.

[charlie2times]

just a couple more that i'd like would be ace.

APHND are working on euro dates.

Monstro would be ace.

And a couple from killing joke, melvins, mudhoney and lanegan.

I've given up hope of AIC

Would love living colour, but don't think that'll happen.

Vernon is in a new band with jack bruce called spectrum road, so they might be possible

[jammy2211]

I have very low expectations. Chiodos or Parkway Drive would be cool but in all honesty I'm expecting very little to interest me from here. Download is just very good at booking awful old bands no one cares about for the lower stages along with terrible metal.. in recent years anyway.

Lowering expectations is the best course of action for me I think lol.

[kev1664]

Pulled apart by horses, Reuben, papa roach, alkaline trio, gallows, AFI, dinosaur jr.

[lharris92]

22 next week - confirmed by download fb page

[Hazz]

I hope that children of bodom get announced

[gibbydanzig]

I hope and hope a little more that 'Scorpions' get added between 'Slash' and 'Nightwish' on Friday night that is the only time i can see them fitting in that would make sence.

Surley A.C has tried to book them as this is the last chance to catch em.

Nightwish are confirmed as sub.

Saw Gallows mentioned just, they said they wanted to play this yr. Would be perfect in that last sat main stage spot

[Smally]

H20

THAT IS ALL.

If they don't get announced I'm gonna ball my little eyes out.
