Third stage headliner?

[lightning1000]

I think they'd be on second or main. Can't see them in a tent. Probably low/mid main or mid/high second

[stevieg1993]

System of a down

Deftones

Disturbed

Stone sour

Shinedown

Killswitch engage

Tremonti

Lindeman

Think that would be a nice line up of metal and hard\rock

[lightning1000]

Stone sour and kill switch would both be higher. Shinedown disturbed and deftones are about right though so you wouldn't get all those in one day

[polythene_girl]

Just in case of of you lovely peeps on here are on the Download Forums as well, We're gettign shiny new forums in the next few weeks so keep an eye out for them coming!

Replace killswitch with Refused.

Probs have agree with stonesour being too low though. When there back touring can see them maybe doing a short arena tour. 3 or 4 dates on a second leg UK tour. Dunno how well there academy tours sell

[DomDom1984]

Stone Sour wouldn't play much higher than that I don't think.

[lightning1000]

They'd be 3rd or headline 2nd

Agree with this apart from Disturbed, they could easily headline 2nd now. They were 3rd from top before going on hiatus.

This would be a most excellent day out. I would watch Shinedown from the bar or food stalls though

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I would enjoy that day too but it's far too strong, gotta get some shite no-one has heard of to play the first few slots

Far too strong? It's £90 for a day ticket or similar, if it was £70 on a R&L ticket I still question it unless I knew I couldn't get a SOAD ticket arena ticket after.

Kick it off with a bang have Gojira open up

Far too strong for what Download usually books. There lower end of the main stage is usually pretty weak.

True, I like Disturbed, I don't really like Stone Sour but I appreciate the latter would be easily as high or probably above Disturbed now.

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I still think Disturbed will end up subbing the main stage to a 'stronger' headliner, probably Sabbath.

[DomDom1984]

Are Disturbed even a subber, let alone to a strong headliner?

They'd arguably be a weakish sub headliner agreed, hence why I said I could see them doing it under a stronger headliner to balance the line up a bit.

[Andre91]

Disturbed subbing would be a little disappointing, but I wouldn't be totally surprised by it. I think they will play third down main or headline second, personally.

Yes 3rd doen, it's not as if they'll have mich teunion hype, their albums were going through the motions a bit and they weren't selling their tickets out instant or anything.They had stagnated quite a bit I think. I'd rather them 3rd down on an SOAD day but feel that's unlikely so I'll take the Sabbath day.

[gary1979666]

I'm a bit out of touch with the current scene, but was surprised they were 3rd down a few years back.  Have they had much success beyond Down With The Sickness and that other hit I can't remember the name of?

Down with the Sickness wasn't even a hit, The Sickness album is actually their worst selling.

 

Since then they've had 5 number 1 albums in a row in the US, don't think there's many bands who have achieved that in America.

 

In the UK, their last 2 albums have made the top 10.

 

They went on hiatus a few years ago, not long after they were 3rd from top at Download. Their latest album has cemented their place as a top 3 band on a festival lineup in the UK, wouldn't be surprised if they headline 2nd at Download with full stage show. It was one of their gripes when they went on hiatus that they aren't higher up at festivals in Europe.

[metalicbear]

Also just to say that I heard a rumour the other day that Nickelback are headlining Download for the 1st time.

[lightning1000]

Thanks for sharing

[mrtourette]

I had them down as more of a Sonisphere band.
