2013 line-up

[SOAD]

Under a week to go then

[insideaway]

30 bands now? thats going to fill in most of the main and second stage blanks.

[luckysalt]

[5co77ie]

Surely some of the Sweden line-up the week before like Asia, Survivor, Europe, etc are going to be at Download?

[gard]

Good shout 5co77ie, and I think a few more from Nova Rock will make their way over as well maybe some:

FFDP

Cradle of Filth

Amon Amarth

Hellyeah

Papa Roach

Dir en Grey

Sabaton

Asking Alexandria

and god forbid maybe even some Paramore?

[Andre91]

I don't think Paramore will play. There aren't any spots left for them. They would have to sub at the very least. They could even headline if this album goes huge.

[neilloggie]

Playing Academies on the tour plus two nights at the Forum, way too big for 3rd stage.

[GazzaScotland]

3rd stage is probably a similar size audience wise,to most of the Academies.

[SOAD]

I'm guessing we are going to get (at some point):

Airbourne

All Time Low

Asking Alexandria

Bring Me The Horizon

Five Finger Death Punch

Korn

Papa Roach

Pierce the Veil

Royal Republic

Amon Amarth

Cradle of Filth

Parkway Drive

Dir En Grey

All doing Rock Am Ring/Nova Rock/Both

[SOAD]

Actually if third stage is running while Iron Maiden are on then I think Dir En Grey would be a perfect alternative:

[Luke Routledge]

I think paramore could headline the second stage if they wanted to. Would be a good alternative for the younger people who go to the festival. Would look good with ADTR subbing them.

[K126]

Limp Bizkit have confirmed (on their FB page) that they are playing this year. No idea what day or stage though

[lharris92]

[Justiceforcedave]

Probably been said (not read the forum) but Mudhoney are in the country.

[cornucopia]

Billy no talent played last year didn't they?

[lharris92]

Seems like they're there every year

[devilman]

[luckysalt]

I thought last year was very good, was much better than their previous performance which was 3 years earlier in 2009, so no they don't play every year at all.

Best Ive seen them is on the Billy Talent II tour.
