Haha at this rate the announcment next week is going to contain 30 bands.

18th of Jan - Over 10 bands to be announced.

20th Jan (earlier today) - Over 15 bands

20th Jan (4pm) - 20 bands being announced

I guess the rapid increase is in terms of contracts signed. They were probably in negotiations, and had 11/12 contracts sorted when they first mentioned the announcement, but hoped to get a couple more, but they've managed to tie up 20 bands now.

I should f**king hope so, the festival is only 16 or so weeks away. We need the equivalent of about 8 bands a week

Is the announcement all 20 in one go ? or a slow drawn out painfull 7pm 10 then wait till midnight for the next 10? i would rather it be all at once then let the moaners get it over and done with in one go and i think it's 19 weeks on Wednesday

[thedudeman]

i think ac said it will be sometime during zane lowes radio 1 show. Between 7 and 9 then?

[bekimo]

Yeh last night he said it was on Zane's show "sometime" after 7pm!

That's man's voice grates on me sooooo bad!

Ok so my friend just posted this on FB. Not obviously the most solid of leads, but an idea to muse upon....

Apparently the Download Festival announcement will consist of: Alice Cooper, Scorpions, Disturbed, Alter Bridge, The Cult, Black Label Society, Bring Me The Horizon, Papa Roach, Stryper, Rise Against, Skindred, Gallows, Buckcherry, Hollywood Undead, Sum 41, Fozzy, The Damned Things, Escape The Fate, Social Distortion and Asking Alexandria..."

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Definately believable.

[Spengs Muck]

STRYPER?!

oh dear lord. I love 80s metal but Stryper?!

I like the announcement though if its somewhere near that

[bekimo]

Aparently Alice Cooper has been leaked. It was up somewhere and swiftly taken back down. I am trying to locate more details!!

I doubt that!

Official Forums are saying there was a flyer posted on Efests saying all those names earlier but was taken down. Can't say that I've seen it.

Weird!
