Any METAL confirmed yet?

[Cooter]

I like most stuff and the heavier stuff, has there been any heavy metal confirmed yet?

Well, only 4 acts have been confirmed, so, no.

I hear Sheeran does a storming cover of Napalm Death's 'You Suffer'.

Blimey, but it's the middle of March. I'm sure there's usually loads of confirmations by now? Maybe I'm thinking of many moons ago.

I like Ed, he's quite welcome to do any metal covers in his own style, would be great.

According to the Thingy (#AHTT), since 2000, the most we've had by St. Patrick's Day is 16 acts. I've not done the maths, but I reckon average is about 6 confirmed.

As decent as that cover is, nothing the Foos have done to date is metal.

I can't believe it's taken me this long to figure out that AHTT means All Hail The Thingy.

[eFestivals]

isn't Kris Kristofosen doing his metal set?

I googled to see if Kris Kristofferson had done any metal covers...as you can imagine, it was quite fruitless

Tremendous effort.

You know the really sad thing, Gnom? Having written that, I couldn't stop myself going back and actually working it out! Average is about 4.5 confirmed acts by this point. #ThingyNerd.

I think Slayer will be closing The Park again, as usual.

Generous. Very generous.

I think most stages are constructed from a frame of some manner of alloy.

And let's not forget the longdrops, either.

I like how OP capitalised 'metal' to remind us that it is loud and manly and rides a big motorbike.

Excellent work. I've nicked that. With a credit of course. 

[FuzzyDunlop]

Is the thingy made of metal?

 

[dreadwing]

Radiohead are metal aren't they? 2+2=5 is pretty heavy.

On a serious note my music taste is varied but metal is where my heart lies, so would welcome more heavy acts. I Was very happy to see Metallica headline a few years ago.

If you want metal go to download or bloodstock.

Using the mean, I take it?  The median is normally a better average to get a sense of what's normal.  I'm still waiting for a good opportunity to use the mode.

White Limo?

I can exclusively confirm that the Pyramid stage will be made almost entirely of metal.
