Download 2012 Official Rumour Thread

Deftones?

Trivium have done an interview saying they're in talks to play and want to play Metallica day.

In fact I'll post the whole thing

Credit to official download forum bringing this to my attention.

Trivium guitarist Corey Beauliue has admitted self-styled Defenders Of The Faith Trivium are at the front of the queue when it comes to pushing their Download claims. Speaking exclusively to rushonrock, the shredder supreme revealed: “Our manager is talking to the festival organisers as we speak.

“Download is the only UK festival we’ve ever played and it has a very special place in our hearts.

“It really launched us as a band and of course I’m hoping we play there next summer – on the same day as Metallica!

“I’d love to see them play the Black album there. It will be something very special.

“But it’s this time of the year when we’re going through all the booking stuff for the summer and it’s a case of keeping our fingers crossed.

“Now that the organisers have two of the three headliners confirmed it should start to fall into place a bit quicker for everyone else – that’s normally the way it works.

“Hopefully you’ll see Trivium at Download in 2012. It’s always been such a big deal for us and it still is.”

Id say Motorhead or Lamb of God second stage headliner against The Prodigy on Friday

[luckysalt]

By the way, anyone fancy any of these new graspop bands?

Im not too fussed on Motorhead, once you've seen them you've seen them, but they're alright. But if they clashed I wouldn't be gutted bout missing them

Lamb of God were pretty good last time, Id watch them again. But again wouldn't be too fussed bout missing them due to clashes.

Bodom were good last year but I reckon they'll be at Soni

Ive heard good things about August Burns Red, but haven't listened to them

And I hope Trivium and Sick of It All are booked

Plus 1 on all that. Lamb of god are really decent live. Maybe 4th down on the Metallica day? Machine head sub that day obv. Not sure on 3rd. Trivium?

Amon Amarth are one I'd like to see. Never quite got round to it.

where would they go though? surely both headline bands?

[gazza_20]

Holly fuck that would be a good day. Squeeze AIC or Killswitch in and that'd be unbeatable.

[jump]

tbh i could see Tool going under Sabbath, just a gut feeling if it were to happen, and well Blink only headlined R&L on the back of reforming, so they have to earn a headlining spot - probably wouldn't get it at download anyway as AC and the booking lot for download would get slated for it..

[lharris92]

dunno, i think they were up to headline somewhere but then the hiatus began.

efestivals where did tool come from? im 100% they are a headline act and on that basis be more likely for sonisphere??

Blink weren't even headline material before they split so not sure how they are now.

Easy, sack MH and insert AIC. Job done.

[eFestivals]

efestivals where did tool come from?

from nme's rumours. It's a rumour that's going around.

[TYLER_4]

[eFestivals]

how much do you believe this to be true?

it's not the worst of the rumours they list - we ignored those completely.

[TYLER_4]

fingers are crossed a second stage headliner against prodigy or under sabbath might fit i guess.

[AcademicPistol]

Tool not headlining is a crime i even find Blink not headling a bit weird unless it was Glasto maybe but if either of them come here surely it would be to headline a festival.
