system of a down

[morland]

Just been announced for fm4 frequency in austria a week before. very likely to do reading now I guess

[mrtourette]

The fact they're in Europe does remove a previous barrier, but I'm still not convinced theyd' be given a headline slot.

Allegedly Melvin said he would book them as a headliner but that was around the time of them reforming so things could/probably have changed. There's no other fest they could play in the UK now Download's top spots are gone and Soni is dead and I can't see them doing a full tour.

Sub for sabbath?

Ive no idea how big system are now or if they would accept a sub headline spot.

TBH I'm not that excited by System if they were to be announced but I'd still want to see them. Reports of them live at Download was "mixed" as in people who saw them before said they were shit and they didn't seem to even like each other whilst fans who never got a chance to said they were great.

Wedge A Perfect Circle between System and Deftones and you're onto a winner! (slot's too small for Tool, so APC will have to do!)

I'd never seen System but would say they lean towards the shit side of the spectrum. Not amazing but not terrible. I'd like them better as a sub act I guess, less time but would be more impactful. Set just dragged a little.

You've not seen them live but they are shit?

He said he had.

I've been saying for months that they would headline if they played, I can't see them playing and not headlining.

Now that there are dates out there they are much more likely to play than was previously suggested. I think it'd be a waste to give them 70 minutes on the main stage. I think they would need the full 90.

I saw them In 2011 at download and having not seen them live before thought they were fantastic, the atmosphere was great, and most people I talked to around the site thought they were the band of the weekend.

I saw system at festivals and gigs first time around but not on there return, would be intrigued to see them somewhere. I remember them playing reading one year or could of been leeds when they had to stop there set for the barrier to be reinforced.

Aaaahhhh those were the days.

Eminem, SOAD and Biffy headlining? Personally it's a terrible set although not sure how much mass appeal it will have to be honest. If it sells out then fair enough, they're good choices.

That trio would never sell out the festival, soad and eminem 10 years ago maybe but not now.

in my opinion biffy and soad would be weak headliners but could just about do it, although they would very strong sub bands.

[Andre91]

System Of A Down

Dizzee Rascal

Avenged Sevenfold

Deftones

Bring Me The Horizon

And let Biffy headline the more 'indie' day.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

If Sabbath aren't headlining a day (as that's the only band I could imagine them subbing too), perhaps Biffy & System could "co-headline." It's not a phrase I particularly like, but it does kill two birds with one stone & it worked pretty well with Pulp & the Strokes...

Rubbish, the Strokes were brilliant and Pulp only played one song from their best album, and even that sounded bad compared to the rest of the set
