Download Line Up Poster

[luckysalt]

Looking at Rock AM Ring, theres absolutely no-one to play that spot.

Same with Greenfield

Checked Nova Rock...

Just saw 30 Seconds To Mars have been announced, but upon checked they're booked up Friday, Sat and Sun, so no 30STM.

So, I can only imagine all these fests have a couple of big names to announce cus at the moment they're all looking the same.

[luckysalt]

Poster updated, acts are now in order of appearence on the official Download poster.

Pretty sure this will be the order of the acts on stage. Of course acts announced lately could and will be slotted in.

Looking at Sunday, not sure Pretty Reckless will end up 5th down, so could be another decent sized act added there, obviously Friday sub, Saturday 3rd down, Saturday 3rd stage headliner, so got some decent sized acts left to be announced.

Looking at the poster I think top 3 on second stage could be as it is now, obviously Friday is as thats confirmed.

If Wolfmother and Machine Head are ruled out, and we now know Bring Me The Horizon aren't doing it, who will be the Saturday third-from-top on main? Papa Roach maybe, although it's debateable whether they're big enough. They should probably go fourth, leaving third open still.

How about Stone Sour? I thought it was unlikely before, but everyone else seems to have been ruled out. They have been touring with Avenged Sevenfold and Hollywood Undead recently, both of whom are already playing Saturday main. They have dates going up to May 22nd in America, and the first Slipknot show isn't until June 17th... it's a bit close, but not impossible.

Would make the Saturday look like this:

System Of A Down

Avenged Sevenfold

Stone Sour

Papa Roach

Down

Hollywood Undead

All That Remains

Escape The Fate

The Devil Wears Prada

[luckysalt]

What you have to realise though is that would mean the other members of Stone Sour would have to come over from the States and all their equipment just for one European show. Isn't gunna happen, Bex has said apparently Corey is playing solo though, Andy mentioned it to her [i think at the fan forum], he's done it at Soni the past two years, makes sense.

Im not sure who is gunna play third, he's keeping very tight lipped on it.

He doesn't even seem sure when the next announcement is gunna be, he says Friday sub isn't sorted yet, but I reckon its a done deal, and its the Darkness, they've even opened up a new Darkness website this week.

Sat 3rd stage headliner seems interesting too, I think its gunna be someone in a punk mould.

[Hart Attack]

Pretty sure Weezer came over just for Reading and Leeds last year. Paramore too, I think - I seem to remember that they were in the middle of the Honda Civic tour at the time as well, and took a week off just to come over here for the festivals. Doesn't rule them out by any means.

Can't think who else it could be, really...

Up-diddly-dated [special guest Ned Flanders on the comment]

[t8yman]

anyone anal enough to do a clashfinder based on last years stage times? I cant be arsed but if theres any tentative info so far, I'd be pleased to see it. some major fri and sat clashes for me. mainly because I know my mate is gonna wanna watch twisted sister. but clutch, ts, skunk and down on the sat, and times of grace are gonna clash with bmth and korn somewhere along the line on friday.

[luckysalt]

updated again

[luckysalt]

Can't be arsed to post an update but Andy has confirmed to me just on twitter Sat 2nd stage running order is

Alice Cooper

Twisted Sister

Cheap Trick

Mr Big

Clutch

I know a lot of people wanted to know where Clutch were and gunna clash with, still not sure who they'll clash with however

[luckysalt]

Sunday main has been confirmed as what I have too, yes, Pretty Reckless will be 5th down on main.

Id say with that being said, Papa Roach are NOT playing, can't see them under Pretty Reckless.

Surprised they're that high in a way as they're new but I have no idea on album/single sales.

When you look at it all now Friday main is confirmed as how I have it, just opening act on Main Stage left, 1 act left for main stage on Saturday and 2 left for Sunday, but all the major spots seem taken, MAYBE Papa Roach could play 6th on Sunday or even take the last spot on Sat, but really doesn't look like we're getting anymore big name acts apart from The Darkness.

[luckysalt]

Gutted with FFAFs slot, 5th down on main wud be so much better, cant imagine theyre guna get much of a crowd at all

[bekimo]

Hyro da Hero? Whoop!

[kaosmark2]

As long as I can see both Clutch and Down on the Saturday before SOAD, I'm happy enough. The rest of the lineup is too dogshit for me to care except for the slots to fill on Saturday between them three.

[t8yman]

I'm worried about skindred, they self confirmed - where can they go?

[luckysalt]

Id say they'll be low main stage

They could fit in on the Saturday above All That Remains and under Hollywood Undead, given them a 6th down spot. Id say that would suit them pretty well and them being next to Hollywood Undead would flow well

Anyway

Poster updated

[pearljam86]

Soni were promoting Skindreds tour today, so maybe Soni have got them instead? Doesn't bother me, I saw them supporting Rob Zombie and wasn't impressed but I know quite a few people like them.

[luckysalt]

Nah they only self confirmed yet again last week for Download, just waiting for their tour to get closer apparently, in their contract it can't be announced by Download yet
