Heard its the former, not heard any solid rumours about the latter.

It's definitely 3 days, Dunno if they'll have both mainstages open Friday, or if it'll start later like in the past, I reckon with pricing, and the fact they seem to be encouraging people to go Thursday (by including EE in all weekend camping tix) it's going to be 3 full days.

looks like metallica won't be playing another date after all.

The remaining dates on this summer's European tour have been announced including shows in Helsinki, Stockholm, Oslo, Horsens, Rome, Basel, and Warsaw. Don't forget to vote for the setlist after you buy your tickets - make sure your voice is heard!

Sonisphere retweeted an article by Metal Hammer which had about ten guesses for the headliner which were like Foos, Muse, Machine Head, Tool, Slayer, Sabbath etc. And Sonisphere said some good guesses going on here.

Here's the article:

Yeah I think it'll be Sabbath now. Not doing Reading and Leeds, and you'd expect a UK festival if they're doing the rest of Europe. Soundgarden are supporting them everywhere, so that'd be a good bet to happen here too. SOAD don't seem to be doing anything, so I expect that rumour to be wrong.

Black Sabbath

Soundgarden

Iron Maiden

Machine Head

Metallica

Slayer

Maybe Machine Head headlining second with Placebo subbing instead. Can't remember which days Maiden and Metallica are confirmed for.

May do a prediction at some point but can see Soundgarden, Placebo and Bullet for My Valentine being the subs. Although any of those six could headline the Saturn stage also as it's a fairly similar sized slot. Plus can definitely see Mastodon and Alice in Chains returning.

Yeah Soundgarden and Sabbath would definitely get me thinking about a day ticket, but I fear I'll have the same problem with Download where the bulk of the undercard just really isn't for me. Having said that, if it was similar to the Saturday mainstage at Download this year I'd probably be alight because I quite liked the look of that (bar Maiden headlining :P)

Actually, thinking about it Soundgarden into Sabbath is the same as Download 2012, and then you've obviously got Metallica there as well- are they really going to go for that?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
