RHCP blates gonna be a Soni. And I cant see Evanescence subbing Main Stage. Her voice doesnt carry well outdoors and she defo couldnt do a 45min/1hr set in an outdoor setting IMHO! People were talking a lot about Nickelback last year in the run up to announcement and I'd be very surprised if Andy had not approached them then regarding this year. You can love them or hate them, but live, they are brilliant!

Same with Paramore, people were convinced they were booked last year and the whole debate went on and on and on about whether they should headline or not. Fact is that they would attact people. Personally, Id see them more as 2nd stage headliners, but I wouldnt be surprised to see them as Main Stage headliners.

Rammstein I can see because of the way that DL lost them to Soni in 2010, Andy would love to get them to Donnie I'm sure, plus they put on a damn good show and their tour is sold out so people who didnt get tickets will have another chance (thats a selfish reason for me, right there!!)

It would be a waste of their time (& anyone who is interested in decent live bands) to do Knebworth 2 weeks before going back for Soni.

I presume they will be making more money by doing their own gigs so I am guessing any Scottish/Irish dates, where they might not pull as many punters as in England, will be at TitP & Oxegen.

Really couldn't care less about them & I'm glad I missed them headlining Reading '07, looks appalling from the videos.

I think everyone expects a week today due to that Kerrang tweet, no-one from download has mentioned an announcement whatsoever, Andy only said today that they haven't decided what next years prices are going to be yet, so if thats the case tickets won't be going on sale soon, and if tickets aren't going on sale soon, why would they be making an announcement anytime soon?

I think we're all gunna have to wait a bit longer.

Me personally I don't think that Download have Sabbath as of now, I just made that poster up for shits and giggles. I reckon they're touring or playing Soni.

I haven't heard that above rumour? Where is that rumour for? Download?

Download would never book Jay Z as headliner, its too much of a risk alienating the crowd when theres Soni as competition ready to snap up their customers, Andy would book such an artist in a lower position, but not headliner

and Kasabian, bullshit, he wouldn't book them fullstop. Andy is totally against Indie acts, he says no to Pixies because he says they wouldn't fit, no way he'd risk Kasabian

If they haven't got Rammstein or Nickelback then The Prodigy with Paramore as support works well and totally makes the opening day which is times has been the kinda cheaper day I guess good for non as heavy fans.

I think it would work as

The Prodigy

Paramore

Enter Shikari

Papa Roach

Rise Against

Limp Bizkit

Metallica

Machine Head

Slayer

FFDP

Dragonforce

Evanescence

Black Sabbath

Scorpions

Motley Crue

Steel Panther

Devil Driver

Black Label Society

Drowning Pool

Revoker

Black Tide

Chase and Status

Edit: Chase and Evanescence could well swap too
