Wondering what percentage of the Hellfest line up we'd get.

That is a brilliant undercard

[devilman]

[DomDom1984]

Reckon Volbeat, Deftones and Bullet for my Valentine.

Reckon Volbeat, Deftones and Bullet for my Valentine. 

Yeah I can imagine all those to be in the announcement. I'd throw in Within Temptation, Ghost, Korn, Disturbed and Foreigner if they're announcing a fair few of the bigger names.

[DomDom1984]

Dropkick Murphys are everywhere in June. Any chance of them in there? I'd be happy with all of those named bands if they came out. Twisted Sister and Slayer possibilities? They seem to be out and about in June as well.

Twisted Sister are exclusive to BOA but the other two will definitely be in with a shout. Depends how much they announce as I'm not sure either would be in the top 12 slots or so (top three main or 2nd headline), but they wouldn't be far off. Saying that I just mentioned Ghost and they may not be either so yeah possibly.

Going back and looking at who's around this summer, Alice Cooper are probably a decent option to play Sabbath day or on 2nd opposite Rammstein.

I see that Download France is set to announce on Monday and they've apparently got Biffy, Deftones, Megadeth, Ghost, Volbeat and perhaps some more to come then, if anyone's been eyeing that up.

I noticed Megadeth were doing stuff, but I don't particularly like them, so decided not to mention them.

[dentalplan]

Korn subbing Rammstein.

Will update this with more for ease of information.

Rammstein - KORN - MOTORHEAD
Sabbath - DEFTONES - MEGADETH
Maiden - DISTURBED - NIGHTWISH

Deftones

[dentalplan]

You forgot some exclamation marks there sunshine. If they're subbing Sabbath then that is BALLIN'.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Download just posted a pic on twitter that says Saturday so I'm guessing they are subbing Sabbath, yeah.

[dentalplan]

Gonna have to try and hop on a day ticket for that then. Don't give a shit about Megadeth like.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah me either, Mustaine's voice just grates on me.

[K126]

Saturday looks so dull..yaaawwwwnn.

hope there's someone good on second stage 

[kipper64]

Surprused with Korn getting the bump up considering they last played 3rd down and subbing second over the last few years

Deftones are ace, not really a massive sub either but ace nonetheless.

 

Megadeth can do one though.

Wow! Deftones  and Korn!!!

thats a good start to tonight's announcement.

On top of the three headliners that's five bands out of five I'll be watching.

Ah ,just heard Megadeth have been announced.

5 out of 5 becomes 5 out of 6

[kipper64]

Quite enjoyed them but they are much better indoors imo, not really an outdoor band.  

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Motorhead before Korn

Yeah I thought Korn might have been a mistake or something, seems completely unwarranted.

Deftones sold out [the initial tickets for] Wembley Arena very quickly - quicker than potential headliners BMTH did - so I think they're at least a comfortable sub. Think they might be the headliner at Download Paris, you know. EDIT - No I don't because that's the same day as they're at Donington.

I think Black_Crow's 'big 4 for Sonisphere' thing is out the window already.

Yeah I guess but considering how often they tour I don't see Deftones as a big sub.  At soni they had at least Frank Turner under them last year which made it quite a big top 3 but Sabbath, Deftones then Megadeth is a bit light in my eyes (after sabbs ofc) especially as there's meant to be less bands overall already.  Couple that with Korn as the other sub it screams to me that they've spent too much on headliners.

I have to agree with you now those Sunday acts have come in. A header and sub I really wanna see in Sabbath/Deftones is a sweet deal but Korn and Disturbed seem a little weak, and I guess some might have reservations about Deftones too.

[thewayiam]

That Rammstein day is the worst top 3 I've ever seen on a Download day, it shouts out spending on headers. And Megadeath 3rd on Sabbaths day again. Not as bad a Slipknot and BSC opposite but it's close enough!
