Anouncement Tonight

[tom.a7x]

5 bands tonight, not headliner thats still monday according to official download FAQ.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

That's prety cool, they're really cracking out the announcements this year.

[BobbyG]

Sweet! What a nice surprise.

[dan666]

niiiiiiice.

[Salt_On_Everything]

when when when when when?

[gr4h4m]

Sweet! What a nice surprise.

[dacbo]

when when when when when?

[Salt_On_Everything]

i very much doubt In Flames seeing as they just cancelled the UK tour...

[BobbyG]

not really as the bands will be rather predictable!

I'll guess at

God forbid

ill nino

in flames

journey

and someone else

[wilcox]

Awesome news!

[gr4h4m]

Ill Nino and In Flames pretty much counteract your 'predictability' statement.

[gr4h4m]

i very much doubt In Flames seeing as they just cancelled the UK tour...

[Salt_On_Everything]

but its been cancelled due to reasons that they can't exactly set a timer on from the sounds of things... and the tour ran through to the early may (i was gonna go Liverpool on the 2nd) so only really a month before Download. but i'm just being picky!

edit: but if the announcement is Papa Roach, Anvil, God Forbid, Journey, etc, then i won't be pissed off, just bored! i want a surprise!

Papa Roach

Anvil

God Forbid

Journey

Cancer Bats

My guess

[Sex Opera]

Anvil, Buckcherry, Billy Talent, Dream Theater and the blackout according to kerrang

Pretty happy about Dream Theater and Anvil after watching the movie on Tuesday and feeling the need to support them

[gr4h4m]

has anyone checked the download site I'm confused?

the following now all have their own band font?

Pendulum

Korn

Limp Bizkit

add to the fact that these also have their band font

Slipknot

Def Leppard

The Prodigy

Motley Crue

ZZ Top

Whitesnake

marilyn manson

so surely all these bands are mainstage and are all in the top 3?

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I reckon

Anvil, Billy Talent, The Blackout, Buckcherry and Dream Theater

I've no idea why though

boring! but Billy Talent is good, they were great in 2006, converted me to liking them!

edit - darn, beaten to it by seconds!

If that is the case Fridays headliner will have to be someone `special` for me to miss the Crue.
