[thejimbola]

3rd stage headliners opposite Rammstein and all is forgiven if they do book BMTH on the second stage!

[AcademicPistol]

Volbeat are Friday second stage

[AcademicPistol]

A few of the bands announced for RaR will probably be at Download: Stone Sour, BMTH & FFDP etc look very likely.

[SOAD]

Looking at Rock Am Ring we could have:

Airbourne - Second Stage Kiss Day (reckon they will go for a sort of Classic Rock Second Stage again)

Bad Religion - Headline Third Stage... would be nice on main or second.

Bring Me The Horizon - Headline Second or High Main Slipknot Day

Bullet For My Valentine - If Deftones don't play they could sub to Slipknot... doubt will headline Second again... or could just not play.

Five Finger Death Punch - Main to make up for last year

KoRn - could sub to Slipknot or possibly even play third down underneath Slipknot and either Deftones or Bullet.. Think KoRn then Deftones then Slipknot would go down great. Or they could play Soni or even finally play Reading on the Sabbath day but think that is very unlikely.

Paramore - Possible second stage headliner (on Sunday as people could watch 30stm then move over to Paramore if they don't like Rammstein)... Seem more likely for Soni if that goes ahead.

Royal Republic - could play any stage.. think will def play.

Simple Plan - don't really see them coming back but could do Second stage... doubt will headline it again... maybe second or third down.

Stone Sour - probably headline Second

Also from Nova Rock think we could have:

Within Temptation - due a return and doubt will try Soni again since it was cancelled when they were last due to play

Parkway Drive - Same stage as BMTH

Coal Chamber - do the Kyuss Lives! style slot.

edit: Oh and Kiss to headline Second

Kiss won't play, still just think it was a site trying to get hits.

Can't believe you lot are still thinking a main stage headliner would headline 2nd. That Metaltalk article is 4 months old and besides all that Andy Copping has told everyone to shut up about it as it's pure nonsense.

I think most people are being sarcy or debunking it when mentioning it now apart from Gazza who is claiming it as a victory for finally getting a prediction right.

[eFestivals]

Too big for Download 2nd stage.

No idea if they're playing or not, but 2nd stage headliner is about right.

They're a band who failed as the billed headliner to sell tickets this year for a smaller festival. So there's no way on earth they'd now headline Download (unless they have an upsurge in the future).

So that means that they either no longer play in the UK at festivals, or they have to accept lower billing.

So the options are subbing the headliner on the main stage, or headlining the 2nd stage. If they headline a stage they can pretend to themselves that they're still headliners; if they sub they can't.

So what they gonna do?

I think he's talking about Paramore as Gazza is in love with that bint and keeps predicting them to headline Download & Soni.

Talking about Kiss.

Are they headlining in Europe? I think they are too big for the second stage, just because their egos would stop them from it. I imagien they would rather do their own gigs, or headline High Voltage if it ever comes back

[jump]

What smaller festival did they headline this year that failed?

[gazza_20]

efestivals is talking about KISS and you're talking about Paramore.

Also am I typing KISS right as I always thought it was KISS but I keep seeing it as Kiss?

[jump]

So ultimately the answer here is that you are wrong?!

[gazza_20]

What am I wrong about?

[eFestivals]

Quite a lot in fairness but at this time that neil was talking about Paramore lol

no, i was talking about kiss.

If you had the answer sheet gazza you'd still be wrong.

[Black_Crow]

no, i was talking about kiss.
