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

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

      How much is Burnham's success down to Manchester getting a shitton of investment for public transport infrastructure?   There's no doubt he did the work, but the money dumped into Manchester for him to achieve that was huge - the most of any infrastructure project outside London ever. Did that need a mayor, or just the money?

      Bristol was the only city in 2012 that voted for a mayor. We had a local independent who was popular, then Marvin Rees won and was so corrupt that Bristol voted to get rid of the position - having just had the WECA mayor position put in place as well.

      Sziget 2026

      They built a watering system and have been watering the island for the past few weeks to reduce dust, but given the current drought, there will still be dust. They will cover twice as much ground around the main stage with those plastic panels as they did before. They couldn't book Gogol Bordello because the singer was afraid the government would allow Russian security services to capture him if he entered the country. They didn't have much room to be selective about artists. They booked whoever they could get. This year's Sziget will be only about 50% of his original vision. He wanted a dedicated rock stage. They are preparing for a loss of 1.5 billion HUF this year. For some reason, student tickets are not selling in the numbers they had expected. He said that when he talks about the lineup being less important, he doesn't mean Sziget should have a weaker lineup than Primavera. Rather, it should have a similarly strong lineup combined with much more non-musical programming, so people from abroad come here to see the same artists but have a completely different overall experience. He didn't miss Sziget and originally wanted to spend no more than two days a week dealing with it, but now he's working on it full-time and has handed over control of the rest of his businesses.

      Well the point seems to be 22.7% turn out doesn't suggest the majority are rushing out to support the mayoral system.
