[scudetto_boy]

I went to Donington twice when i was 14 & 15 (many years ago) but haven't been in years, when do the tickets go on sale for this years event?

Also, when is the bill officially announced?

Thanks in advance!!

stick around, you'll hear the rumours and probably most of the bands before they are announced on here.

Lets get a little competition going, lets see who can guess the date of the first announcement!

The winner gets......well..........a message of congratulations lol.

I'm going for........ Monday 9th of Feb

[Ravislayer]

i'll go for weds 11th (to coincide with the kerrang publishing date)

[Torrie]

I'll put down the 10th of Febby.

Day before Kerrang on sale... because it'll be on their website on the tuesday.

[-pogo-]

I'll say 9th Feb, only because I would've said 10th Feb if someone hadn't already taken it!

Bit crazy they haven't announced when it will be yet, seems a bit disorganised again, I followed last year and it seemed disorganised compared to previous years

v has already announced that their tickets go on sale 6th March, you would have thought Download would have made public their date by now

[biffoire]

Maybe they still haven't got the headline acts together yet?!

[Charlie83]

I cant remember them ever officially announcing when they go on sale in advance?? I'm certain they didnt the last two years? Download rarely sells out quick so im not too bothered, If I had to choose I'd rather they gave us a Date that they'd announce the headliners

I think all the festivals this year must be struggling to confirm headliners cos they are taking longer than usual. Isle of Wight has usualy announced all of there line up by now but they've only done one day.

Yup it will be the tuesday I reckon.

Though might be the week after as to not clash with defenders of the faith tour that week, publicity wise.

[-pogo-]

I will double or nothing on this by saying Radio 1 announcement between 7-9pm on the 3rd Feb.

Pint of PUKEborg if I am way off.

[MetalDave]

I still think its a bit crazy that no-one has any idea who the headliners are going to be! In the past we've known the headliners atleast a week before they've been announced officially

I wonder if Neil's heard anything??..........

EDIT: In 2007: 'First announcement ...7.30pm January 30th' Hope thats the same this year....

Double or nothing? Deal! But there has to be actual puke in the pint of Tuborg! No going half way!

Thought it was the essential ingredient to give it that cheek clenching (both pairs) effect

[Ravislayer]

Just don't film it, or it has the possiblities of internet infamousy.

[-pogo-]

you say that like its a bad thing
