So... Who's gunna be announced this week

[rexclark]

I think we may get the dance tent and rest of the main stage this week... pure guess.

[thomasowen]

They really need to get the NME stage done before anything else, that should be the priority as that is where most people go along with main stage.

Rancid / NOFX pls.

Both finishing us tours just before Reading

[D-Low]

I really liked the first album, shame he was awful last year (and the new songs sound equaly bad). I wouldn't bet against a main stage aperance though.

the wildhearts are touring in september.maybe they will play the festival first (yes,that is the last straw im clutching at)

Ladyhawke and King Blues won't play because of V as well

Faith no more wont be announced this week

[Englishdragon]

yer they wont wait until after Download because download have dropped all their exclusive stuff off the website

What day is there going to be an announcement though because today is a bank holiday?

Well NME likes to do one "exclusive" announcement a year so it could be tomorrow night to come out with this weeks NME mag?

[Jefrow]

we dont know for sure there is one this week. Glasto was anounced today, so maybe Leeds will be tommorow or wednesday.

didn't it say somewhere that there was going to be one before the end of May?

Hoping for the hold steady, pure reason revolution

and a good post rock band or two!

Explosions in the sky/God is an astronaut/This will destroy you/65daysofstatic would really save the lineup for me!

[Jefrow]

This came from the official forums Mod, I believe, never the most reliable source. Besides, these things are never set in stone as the mess up with the lock up stage proved. Hopefully we will get one tommorow or tonight.

I'm not sure but it might be feasible on the FR stage?

EITS are touring in the UK from 4th September onwards.. which means they may be playing. I kinda doubt it though

If they had a day of Post Rock on the FR stage I'd quite happily spend the entire day there. There have been a few bands over the last few years I can recall:

65Daysofstatic

iLiKETRAiNS

Working For a Nuclear Free City

Amusement Parks on Fire

[moss265]

that would be amazing! has reading/leeds had post-rock before?

i'd really like PRR to be there too, the new album is good

who else could be playing RandL who is playing at download this year, apart from FNM? There could easily be a couple more bands from there who are announced this week, now the hype of Download has gone down, with tickets pretty much sold out.

I'm thinking, and hoping for, Fightstar maybe, as they are available around then and have just released a new album.

Is there anyone else? It would certainly help supply a rock/metal revival for this year with all this indie around on the main stage.

[scottt]

Id love papa roach, not sure how big they are now. Too big to play below FFAF?

Although i do tihnk BMTH or Fightstar will play that position or below enter shikari unfortunately:(

Would love for Killswitch though

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

You Me At Six, The Blackout, Bring Me The Horizon and maybe Fighstar are the only ones I could see playing from Download.

[rivalschools.price]

what about one of the bigger bands like korn?????
