And at 9.01am tomorrow there will be a flood of complaints. Not getting my hopes up for this one, majority of the slots for the big bands have been taken, I'm expecting this to be more of a "who the hell are they" announcement.

[t8yman]

quite the opposite my tangy friend. the undercard are what makes the festival IMHO!

[luckysalt]

Confirmed full official day and stage splits are getting revealed 2mrw too. My poster is sacked!

[Lithium05]

I wonder if, due to the doubling in size of the village tent, theyll have bigger name comedy acts?

[spwan-of-the-devil]

Guessing! Here -

Simple Plan

Comeback Kid

Sevendust

Asking Alexadria

Skinred

Yashin

Plus others!

[kev1664]

I'm looking forward to the announcement and giving the bands a chance. I'm pleased about the day/stage splits too can start to plan properly, even though lucky's breakdown has been very good.

At festivals I like to explore more new music through the days, unless there is someone un-misable. Its sometimes good to see someone without any pre-conceptions.

[Matticus]

i think download will get one or two bigger comedy names, as they'd wanna compete with sonisphere who look like there offering a big range of comedy this year

[t8yman]

f**k comedy, bring the rock.

[luckysalt]

Simple plan arent playing spawn.

[Lithium05]

I have no theories about who's gonna be announced, so I'm not gonna bother guessing. I'm just hoping for at least 5 bands I know and like, Skindred fit the bill so I dont think I'm asking too much for just 4 more!

I'd be pleased with Hinder, Dropkick Murphys, Soulfly, Ash, The Answer, The Subways at this stage, but I'm not holding my breath for any of them.

[Lithium05]

Double penetration post.

Andy Copping has ruled Black Spiders out about 5 times in the last month, doesn't seem like they're playing and he's lying.

I really think Ash could be added theres space for them on second stage, their stock has fallen, they could drop down, theres 4th down on Friday free and 3rd down on Sunday free, or low main stage.

They seem to be playing low at other fests.

TRC has have self confirmed on twitter

Karma To Burn self confirmed

Skindred self confirmed

Baptized in Blood self confirmed, so thats 4 of tomorrows announcement

Also looking quite good for Sevendust. Sevendust would be a MASSIVE plus for me, they're quality

Sounds like Royal Republic are playing too

Bugger At least they may do Soni as they would fit in with the Sat on the Main if there is room!

[luckysalt]

JUST GOT AN UPDATE

THERES OVER 40 BANDS GETTING ANNOUNCED AT 9AM!

OVER 40!!!

[bekimo]

eeek!

[Lithium05]

eeek!

[Lithium05]

The official forums seem to think CKY will be one of them. That's a win in my book.
