Blabbermouth competition

A competition to see Lamb of God playing a "Major UK festival in August"

Can't see it being any of the others. Mid to low down mainstage Sunday I'm guessing

[dan666]

Wicked. New album out soon aswell. I can see them in the middle on Sunday.

There is also supposed to be another festival in August in the UK....

"Well, we were the first to get wind of it back in November, and now here we are as the first to confirm it - Metallica are indeed booked to headline at a new two-day festival at Knebworth this summer. The dates of 01 & 02 August have been pinpointed.

The Thrash Hits team is nothing if not dedicated to deep-cover investigative journalism (ie, drinking whiskey in the Crobar), where our investigations (ie, eavesdropping on conversations between those in the know) means we can also confirm that Linkin Park will be headlining the other day of the festival. Never again will we underestimate the news-gathering possibilities of seedy drinking establishments.

And that’s not all we heard – the festival is going to be touring Europe, visiting possibly six countries across the continent. This would back up claims made by a Finnish newspaper that a Metallica/Linkin Park headlined festival will be taking place this summer in the Finnish city of Pori.

Among the other acts rumoured to be joining the bill are a great many acts previously featured on Thrash Hits. Ahem. Whether or not any of these acts do join this new European festival juggernaut - let alone the Knebworth leg - remains to be seen.

Slipknot, Machine Head, Lamb of God, Mastadon, NIN, and Prodigy are all rumoured to be on the line up

An official announcement is apparently going to be made at 10am on Monday 09 February 2009."

This would also tie into Metallica's website saying they will be hitting festivals across Europe during the summer, dates to be announced shortly.

I think they will be doing the new one with Metallica. Metallica, Machine Head and Lamb Of God are all buddy's and been touring together in the USA.

my apologies, I messed up here somehow.

LoG are not playing Download, and I've no idea why I thought they were. They weren't on the list of bands I got for Download.

Sorry.

[eFestivals]

Does this mean they have more of a chance to play Reading?

I very much doubt it - I'm pretty sure they're exclusively contracted to Sonisphere.
