Worst announcement for me so far. Have to admit the lineup is looking a little less strong after the last couple of announcements. Plenty to keep me happy anywayz but I'm a bit confused how they are gonna fill Apollo and Saturn atm.

Not brilliant but you can tell they have blown most of the budget on the headliners and a few other acts (especially the ones that were announced first)

[kipper64]

Kind of hard to say at this stage with the stage and day splits not really clear to be fair, still time for a few more big acts to come. Wasn't a great announcement for me that one though, a few I need to check out, and DT are a decent Saturn headliner I guess. Last 2 announcements were brilliant for me though, so perhaps my expectations were a tad too high!

[kaip]

Love the Cadillac three announcement, seen em last week and they were fantastic

This band are gonna be massive in a few years

[galeforcerob]

Any idea what day the dropkicks and anti flag are playing? With the addition of DT this could sell me a Sunday day ticket

[Dead throne]

Last 2 announcements were a bit shit, still a lot of bands I fancy seeing though;

The Prodigy

Iron maiden

Metallica

Limp Bizkit

Deftones

Slayer

Dream Theatre

Frank Turner

Mastodon

Anthrax

Airbourne

Dropkick Murphys

Devin Townsend Project

Electric Wizard

Gojira

Karnivool

Anti-Flag

Brutality Will Prevail

Carnifex

The Defiled

TessaracT

[justanothername]

To be honest the only announcements that I liked was The Prodigy headlining and the one where Deftones and Frank Turner were announced

[kbearne]

The main head liners still redeem it but lately I haven't been bowled over by more recent announcements, still looking forward to it

[metalicbear]

More bands, stage splits and day tickets on sale Wednesday.

[justanothername]

I forgot about the day splits announced today with some smaller acts. Don't know who to expect

[gary1979666]

Thought they'd havetimed this for a poster in Kerrang, but nothing on their site et.

[dentalplan]

Looking a little better. Day tickets on sale now at £55 for Friday and £75 the other days.

[SOAD]

Some good additions. Looks a bit weird as far as a mainstage lineup and I can see a lot of clashes on Sunday between main stages and the smaller ones. Gonna be a great weekend though. They've got in loads of bands I've not seen before/not seen much this year which is great.

Yeah I'm in with that, almost had a seizure when I saw Slayer headlining Saturn and Maiden headlining Apollo but then remembered the alternating stage thing... Going to be an interesting dash between the 2 stages that night!

But overall I'm happy enough with that, bring it on!

[luckysalt]

Shouldn't Band of Skulls be opening Friday nevermind 3rd from top? How are they in that slot??? Have they had some hits that have just past me by?

They had one minor hit years ago as far as I can remember?

So main stages are

SAT SUN

IRON MAIDEN METALLICA

SLAYER DREAM THEATER

DEFTONES ALICE IN CHAINS

CARCASS DROPKICK MURPHYS

FRANK TURNER MASTODON

THE WINERY DOGS REEL BIG FISH

ANTHRAX AIRBOURNE

CHAS & DAVE KARNIVOOL

GHOST DEVIN TP

ALESTORM PROTEST THE HERO

GOJIRA

Hows it looking like that?

65daysofstatic are there? Who knew.

Anyway, the line up doesn't really justify me getting a weekend ticket but there are some of my favourite acts there. The Prodigy, Deftones and Frank Turner in particular.

Festivals always look better when the stage splits come out and this is no exception.

Well, apart from IoW and R+L.

[mrtourette]

They've been slowly growing. Not quite third-down-at-a-major-festival stuff but bear in mind that's the half day.
