Monday's announcement leaked?

[Greeny_Musicchild]

Down Payment thing. Explain please? Thanks!

A festival Metallica headlined hasn't ever failed to sell out in this country.

[bekimo]

basically you can either buy the ticket paying the full amount OR you can make a deposit and then pay the rest later (glasto style)

[luckysalt]

Except for Sonisphere.

That poster looks legit. Copping also said that one of the bands he was announcing has never played download, and he said on the metal hammer podcast earlier this year that paramore could headline download. And that hissyfit he threw on twitter earlier is remarkably like the hissyfit where he denied soad last Sunday.

I reckon that poster will be exactly what gets announced on Monday.

[Dan R]

Tbh if that poster's true then I don't give a damn about the fact Paramore are headlining

Weezer and Alter Bridge are there!!!

[lharris92]

on download official forums the person named Hart_Attack has confirmed he made the poster.

[lharris92]

Yeah, might as well confirm now (as if everyone hadn't figured it out already) - this isn't real. I made it the other day. I was bored, and figured I'd have a go at making a realistic-looking 'leak' to try and get onto Metal Hammer or something again, and to get some discussion going.

Hopefully the real thing will look like that though - I'd be so incredibly happy with those bands. Although having seen the overall reaction to the idea of Paramore headlining, I concede that they would be better off on the second stage - not because they aren't big enough (I still think they are), but because they seem to be very divisive and would be a controversial choice to headline the main stage. Besides, I would prefer to see them play without getting idiots throwing stuff at them and ruining the show.

Apologies to Andy and team Download, by the way - it wasn't my intention to 'spoil the party'. Hope I didn't cause too much trouble!

lol i remember Hart_Attack from last year, he made a fake reading poster i believe, it made its way round and everyone thought it was real even though i failed to believe so, and again this time!

[bekimo]

aww bless him!

[pete76]

last year Download had proper headlinears and sunbheadliners as well. This year according to the rumours look terrible. SOAD are cool, but rest.... omg... Alter Bridge - is it the band that guy from Creed is involved in? Creedmeans s**t. Paramore? Girl singing in a rock band? Get L7 or Breeders, Skunk Anansie or Garbage! MRC? quoting someone else from this forum - f**k emo black parade.

Last year i went to Bilbao festival. 3 days, 65 quid. Pearl Jam, FNM, Rammstein - headliners. Plus Alice In Chains, Slayer, MSP, Jet, Skunk Anansie, Rise Against. No crap just rock !!

MY hopes for download except SOAD: no emo, no one-hit wonders, just pure rock - ex . Soungarden

You're somewhat of a moron right? First by 'that guy from Creed' I assume you mean the singer Scott Stapp, which it's not. It's the other 3 members of Creed fronted by the best voice in rock right now, so don't go judging things without hearing them first.

[irons]

That poster looks right now. Not a bad line-up actualy. Will see what Soni brings to the table.
