2013 Headliners

[AcademicPistol]

What other bands of nationalities that ain't British or American are big enough to headline?

[TheSeventhOne]

As reference to the above post...

One people won't like is Nickelback. But they are big enough to headline.

Slipknot surely won't headline with no new material?...

[2rare2die]

Didn't stop them from headlining Sonisphere.

Guess this means no Sonisphere then.

Iron Maiden doesn't really excite me, Ive never really seen them, I caught a bit at Reading 2005 but I went to watch Bloc Party in the tent cus I was reallllly into their first album.

If Rammstein DO play I'll possibly go for the day, if Tool play, I'll end up going.

I saw Futureheads too, I remember watching all of Marilyn Manson on main stage who was superb, then went to the tent and Futureheads hadn't even started, saw all that [remember them split the tent in half for hounds of love] then Bloc Party - remember the guy climbing the rig and they weren't allowed to continue until he got down, he went from be cheered to getting death threats in seconds, then saw the end of Iron Maiden afterwards

Iron maiden pretty much are to be officially confirmed !! A Planet Rock DJ said that he'd be talking to a headliner, one of the biggest British bands on Thursday 20th!! This is when Nova Rocks' early bird offer ends so it should be a combined announcement about a Maiden tour of fests for next year!! Good to start British after London 2012 then. All we need is two other big hitters. Possibly Rammstein and SlipknoT.

Sorry if i'm a bit behind but how do we know that the headliners are from three different countries?

Nickleback or Ramstein would be the most likely.Of course theres Rush??

Only other likely countries other than england,germany canada and america who are likely to provide a headliner would be Wales and Scotland but I think we could rule Biffy out after they played last year and Lostprophets prob arn't big enough anymore

Daft Punk are French

[AcademicPistol]

Maiden are the best of British? Are you sure you don't mean nostalgia?

No wonder guitar music has turned to shit recently!

[mrtourette]

Probably the wrong year, everyone will be back to hating being British by Summer 2013.

[GRichards23]

Iron Maiden should just retire. They are pants now.

If any British band should headline then surely Muse? Although, how would they go down at download?

I reckon they should hold Download on 4th July weekend and have 3 American headliners.

Neil - What's the chances Maiden will do the Friday or Sat? My thought was the Sunday but the classic slot was Friday last year, although Sunday this year.

the chances of Friday are 33.3333%

the chances of Saturday are 33.3333%

Guess what Sunday's chances are?

I'm going for Iron Maiden and Pearl Jam as two of them. Don't see Bullet making the step up without a acclaimed new album. PJ have a new album out so a big chance I think, and with the a band member played this year.

Hoping for Maiden Friday and PJ Sunday but I see them both playing over Sat and Sun. If not Rammstein then Paramore/Green Day for the last one or both.

Green Day/Paramore

Pearl Jam

Iron Maiden

Also putting Enter Shikari as Sunday 2nd stage closing act. And possibly Motley Crue as Friday 2nd stage
