"We were just a bunch of kids who didn't want to work in a factory and started a band to see what would happen," Def Leppard frontman Joe Elliot told Kerrang! "31 years later we are headlining Download! It's a great feeling."

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Def Leppard, Whitesnake, Trivium and Limp Bizkit

[oscar]

But who is the Friday headliner???

[the_mars_volta]

But who is the Friday headliner???

[gard]

Marilyn Manson I reckon!

[oscar]

Marilyn Manson I reckon!

[thegremlin_1999]

From the only rumours that we know about could be a possibility.Or they are going to pull someone really amazing out of the bag.

[biffoire]

The friday headliner is always the weakest at every festival. I'm not holding out much hope for the final headliner and think it's odd that the headliners are being announced one at a time. I've never seen that before.

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Wont be seeing Manson if it is..

Anyone else think Manson could headline the second stage on the sunday?? Don't know just thought id put it out there Really pleased with the line-ups thus far, keep it up!!

[damagedoor]

It'll be Manson for the Friday slot, surely. I like Marilyn Manson, but I'm still hoping there's a surprise in store. I like most of the bands on the bill, and I've already got my ticket, but it's a little underwhelming. Still - shaping up to be a fun weekend.

[luckysalt]

Actually yeah Marilyn Manson a second stage headliner up against Friday night or Sunday night's headliner could be possible

[savestheday]

Was anyone else surprised by Trivium?

I'm pretty sure they weren't on any rumours page, and they seem to have a bit of an odd placing.

Don't really think they've done anything to warrant moving up the bill, on the main stage at least, I could see them headlining the second stage though.

[Ravislayer]

they're worth it for the shogun album, its totally under appreciated and totally brilliant.
