Whos playing what day?

[Salt_On_Everything]

right, i know it has the capacity to be total bollocks, but Wikipedia seems to think main stage saturday so far looks like this:

Slipknot

Marilyn Manson

The Prodigy

Pendulum

Dragonforce

yay? or nay? seem believable...?

[Axl]

I know Copping is supposed to have said they might not seperate Prodigy and Pendulum, but am i the only one who thinks they'd be terrible on the main stage? Not least, fourth on the bill. By all accounts last year was a poor year, but they still have Biffy Clyro and Disturbed playing in that slot, both of those are bigger than Pendulum surely?

[Salt_On_Everything]

i kind of agree... i really enjoyed Pendulum last year cos i love a bit of dance music now n then, but i really don't think they qualify as 4th on the mainstage!

edit - in fact, i can't really see them being above Dragonforce for that matter, tho i can understand the theory of keeping Pendulum and Prodigy together.

Pendulum are very popular nowadays, course that is with a different fanbase I suppose.

And ZZ Top can't be doing Saturday 2nd stage because Papa Roach can't play Saturday so they wouldn't be playing together, my guess is Coby is talking balls, maybe playing the same day but not stage.

Trivium have confirmed for Sunday...2nd stage headliners???

Ascendancy is a good album, but i hope not. It would hardly be the greatest end to a festival ever (Don't hate, but I thought the LP did an alright job at it last year).

I imagine it's going to be something along the lines of....

Friday:

Guns N' Roses

Faith No More

Korn

Limp Bizkit

Second:

Killswitch Engage

Dragonforce

Saturday:

Slipknot

Marilyn Manson

The Prodigy

Pendulum (though i hope not)

Second:

Motley Crue

Sunday:

Def Leppard

Whitesnake

ZZ Top

Journey

Second:

Trivium

Papa Roach

I know the guy from Papa Roach said they'd be on the side stage with ZZ Top, but i would be totally stunned if that were the case.

[deadrobot]

I had better not have to choose between P. Roach and Def Leppard *pout*

[r0w]

Are Prodigy defently on the main stage then?....3rd from top seems a bit low down for them and they would be playing in complete daylight which doesnt suit them I would of thought they would headline the 2nd stage whilst Slipknot were on as they are totally different bands

[oscar]

Hope not, or its 3rd stage or early trip home for me!

[Sparticus]

still makes me feel ill that prodigy arn't headlining after lostprophets did last year, they should be playing in a late night slot after slipknot really, they're the band that you watch and it feels like a massive party. Still don't understand how download hasn't been granted next a late night license, can't be noise pollution it's next to a bloody airport lol.

[Salt_On_Everything]

erm, did the immensely loud stage in the village not seem pretty loud late at night last year??? i don't think late night noise is a problem, i think they're just happy to stick to a traditional kinda day.

[luckysalt]

From the Download boards the booker of bands says this

''I intend to have the three main stage acts on each of the main days to have their logos and the headline act of the second stage each day to have their logos on the artwork. Everyone else will be in block text. ''

So there you go

Looking like the poster pretty much tells you who's playing where

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Dream Theater can only play Sunday.

[luckysalt]

And DT have also said they are playing Main Stage so there you go, DT for Main Stage Sunday

[luckysalt]

Dream Theater have confirmed for the Sunday and say also playing that day are Def Leppard, Whitesnake, ZZ Top and Trivium, so thats been changed on the first post

Im the same on the V forums ha ha

I just get too excited

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

"Download favourites Trivium are back to rock the main stage yet again with a brand new selection of songs from new album Shogun, which went straight into the UK Top 20 upon release last September"

Main Stage Sunday for Trivium then, i'd imagine just before ZZ Top.
