Wake me up when Rammstein are announced.

[lharris92]

ok. maybe before the 28th then as thats when tixs are back on sale

Nowhere does the press release say 'exclusive' and on Maiden site it says, Iron Maiden will will be announcing more dates across Europe in 2013 playing "stadiums, major festivals and arenas with this critically acclaimed show."

Strictly Reading and Leeds

Efestivals are certain that Iron Maiden and Rammstein will headlineDownload Festival.

Did you want either the ex-Reading legends or German stage show specialists at Reading, or are you glad to see DLF using up headline two slots on these bands?

Rammstein tomorrow then?

Love Maiden but if it's just the Maiden England set I'll be passing on this.

Plus that's pretty uninspiring booking if it is Maiden, Rammstein and Slipknot/Pearl Jam. Would liked to have seen BFMV (I know Axewound pretty much ruins that, and I don't like BFMV that much but it'd be cool), Avenged Sevenfold or someone from the Hard Rock/Metal scene to be bumped up to headliner. Moan over.

i will try, but will most likely be asleep then also so maybe not

[Andre91]

where you get it from? although it's fairly obvious.

Pearl Jam looking most likely for Friday, I don't think it'll be B4MV as Axewould are in place at the moment and the other fit being Corey's slipknot isn't going to happen, said it wouldn't for ages like a lot.

I think there is next to no chance that the Friday will be Guns N Roses original.

A guy has put up:

Pearl Jam

Evanescence

Iron Maiden

Stone Sour

Rammstein

Deftones

With Limp Bizkit, Enter Shikari and Skrillex as 2nd stage headers. The one I don't see it LB but other two are fair possible.

That's not a bad shout.

[neilloggie]

I couldn't be any happier than i am with Maiden. I will never tire of them having seen many of their original shows back in the 80's/90's it's good to see them again.

But no other Maiden show could ever come close to their original 1988 performance, now that was in a league of it's own.

I think the full gig is available somewhere on youtube.

[neilloggie]

Are most people predicting Pearl Jam to be the 3rd (and seemingly American) headliner then?

[gazza_20]

Where's this lineup from Gaz? Looks good to me apart from Evanescence, they're quite irrelevant now imo. If Limp do headline the 2nd stage, I'm hoping they're against Maiden, would do me a treat!

Green Day

the evanescence thing is my only issue, could replace with judas priest though. It's a guy that makes fake posters really well on download boards. For fun obvs
