it'd have to be much better. you have a mix of reading and soni this year that was cancelled lol

[Lithium05]

Van Halen

Tool

Maiden

Would be my prediction. Possibly with Rammstein instead of Tool as I'm starting to doubt we'll see Tool again for a while, if at all.

Ideally I'd have

Foo Fighters

Tool

Maiden

But I don't know if booking the Foos is in Download's power!

I'm hoping Slipknot stay away for a couple of years before coming back. I thought they were pretty average by their (high) standards, I know the circumstances were difficult what with Paul's death, and I hope it doesn't sound cold to say that they need a decent replacement before appearing again.

It would please me greatly if the likes of Evanescence, Manson, Incubus and the other terrible live acts that Soni booked, stay well away from Download again.

And no way should BFMV ever be considered headline material, certainly not before Machine Head are anyway!

[OneTwo]

My Guess:

Friday - Saturday - Sunday

Blink 182 - Slipknot - Iron Maiden

Weezer - QOTSA - At The Drive-In

But if i had to choose 3 new headliners i'd go for:

Blink 182, Rammstein, Led Zeppelin

[Andre91]

If I had to choose 3 new, realistic ones I'd have Rammstein, Avenged and either Blink or Muse

[t8yman]

Tool, Foos, Van Halen

I reckon.

[Black_Crow]

I think some people need to do some research in to Maiden and Download, unless Soni goes tits up, Download won't have Maiden.

[huntyyy]

My Guess:

Friday - Saturday - Sunday

Blink 182 - Slipknot - Iron Maiden

Weezer - QOTSA - At The Drive-In

[Daneo]

Soni will be back, I hear they've lined up a Nirvana reunion with Gareth Gates as front man for 2013...

My ideal DL for next year: Rage Against The Machine, Rammstein, Pearl Jam. If only.

[cornucopia]

My ideal weekend headliners would be Foo's, Maiden and Slipknot.

Can't honestly see any of those being there like, but hey I can dream!

I think the next time Download books a headliner that has headlined in the last 5 years they have have to book another 2 that have never headlined before, it should be a new policy to keep things fresh.

..... and then a year later they have to shut down because they can't get a decent headliner.

The sad fact is that the only future* it has is to have the same headline acts on rotation.

* I'm more than happy for Andy Copping to prove me wrong about that. Bet he can't tho.

You reckon Pendulum, A7X, Maiden/Slipknot would be good enough? I'm talking in 2014 probably when pendulum and A7X have stepped up just that little more

there's no limits to how far desperation can stretch things I guess.

How many potential new headliners are there for Download anyway?

I can think of this lot...

Foos

Muse

Blink

Biffy

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Rammstein

Paramore

Avenged Sevenfold

Van Halen

Green Day

Rush

Ozzy

Pearl Jam

Bon Jovi

Nickleback

Sex Pistols

Pendulum

Why is that suddenly a problem now? Surely it's always been that way.

Ive always expected a certain amount of repetition at DL and the fact half the line ups are playing music for well over ten, twenty, thirty years ago goes to show theres not a huge amount of new rock or metal coming through.

Besides, there will be more bands to choose from if Soni doesn't return.
