If kerrang are saying your going to shit your pants when you find out, then Nickelback it is then folks.

[luckysalt]

Its got to be Green Day now I think or Blink 182

Thats Kerrangs fanbase that would shit their pants

Im pretty f**king excited man

[damagedoor]

Zane lowe is a complete cock who has his head implanted up his own arse, he's so full of his self importance it's unbelievable

according to kerrap they already know the headliner so I wouldn't be surprised if it's leaked over the weekend

"The third headliner for the three-day festival - which takes place at Donington Park on June 12, 13 and 14 - will be announced right here on Monday (March 2), and belive us, you will shit your pants when you find out just who."

So I wonder what Neil's prediction is for Monday then?......Or do you think for once he is actually stumped?

[Salt_On_Everything]

i must admit, i'm surprised that the line up n rumours section hasn't been updated to this current wave of stuff. maybe Neil actually doesn't know for once!!! tho heaven & Hell and Rammstein are still on the rumours list. if its Heaven & Hell it'll be kind of a let down but i'll still be well happy, so hey! but on this one i ain't gonna rely on efests...

[luckysalt]

I think he's just waiting for it to be announced, He hasn't really done much in terms of rumours for any festival lately [bar Glasto] thers just too many festivals announcing stuff

Im shocked he hasn't heard or if he has put up more rumours for the V line up, its announced in a few days and theres only a few rumours

TITP shocked me, tickets aren't on sale until tomorrow and they've already announced 46 acts! Download are announced more thick and fast this year, I wonder how many V and Reading will announce upon launch

T always announces its acts pretty rapid, cos they always get a massively good bill. its not my cup of tea having been once, but T pulls off a line-up nearly every year where they get the bands who headline other fests and are still lower down at theirs. england has a lot of fests to choose from, for scotland T is the biggy and the organisers sure make it count.

With all the hype surrounding this announcement it is bound to be the resurrection of christ with angels and airwaves laying down the soundtrack

If the readers of Kerrang are going to "shit their pants" then there's no way in hell it's gonna be Heaven and Hell or Faith No More coz they won't give a damn.

But I can't really think of anyone that would make the readers of Kerrang "shit their pants"... so it's a puzzler...

GNR with fnm special guests.

Green Day would do that but I dunno whether it will be them

[deadrobot]

Green Day or Blink seem to be the main "kerrang readers shitting themselves" candidates... also brings back the unpleasant notion of FallOutBoy

If its Green day or Blink I won't shit my pants, but there may well be some stains of a different variety

[gr4h4m]

Those are deffo the only 3 I can see being "pants shitting" material. I think the biggest coup out of the 3 would deffo be blink 182 coz they have just reformed and coz no one is expecting it, espesh after what happened with Travis. But it just seems a little too far out. Would he really get on a plane again to come to Download? I would doubt it.

So we're down to Green Day and FOB. Would FOB play after what happened to MCR? Coz the same would happen again, possibly worse for them. Green Day would be a crowd pleaser though

Whoever the headliner is it looks like Korn and Limp Bizkit are playing under them, so surely it will be someone of a similar genre and era

[deadrobot]

One thing is for sure, there is not a chance in the world of it being FOB.
