Mondays Full Announcement, Including midnight bands

[t8yman]

I stand corrected! Interesting, so we DO have 2 more 2nd stage headliners to come!

[luckysalt]

Also confirmed Machine Head are NOT headlining second stage on Friday

[luckysalt]

Machine Head playing under Chase n Status on main stage

Also confirmed Machine Head are NOT headlining second stage on Friday

[luckysalt]

You Me At Six headlining second stage on Saturday against Metallica

[luckysalt]

Technically they're not confirmed at all, so how is this confirmed?

[GRichards23]

Wow, that is gonna be some insane saturday with Metallica, Biffy AND Tenacious D

[thejimbola]

Copping just confirmed them.

[t8yman]

He knows everyone has seen the leak, and it's easier for him to speak to people now and not at 12:30am

[hardygra]

It's an amazing line up, I expect Limp Bizkit, Lostphrophets and Motley Crue to come...

[fantomas]

are La Grande Bouffe (the big nosh) usually there? is the food any good at download?

important things to consider

Wouldn't mind Weezer as a second stage headliner on sabbath day. Also limp bizkit to headline second vs the prodigy but maybe that could be motley Crüe.

[luckysalt]

Limp Bizkit aren't playing.

Motorhead could take the slot up against Prodigy perhaps.

I wonder if it IS actually Blink 182 taking the headline slot on Sunday against Sabbath?

[t8yman]

I am seriously impressed with the quality of the acts so far

[AcademicPistol]

It is looking very solid thus far, looking forward to it.

[luckysalt]

Agreed, next years line up will be shit then ha ha!

Its really strong, im glad he's gone for acts like YMAS as second stage headliner too, its exactly as I hoped. Think a classic rock act Friday, AC has hinted at it on twitter and some more modern Sunday. Im expecting sadly Rise Against, but I hope not, I want to see them

[luckysalt]

You know what else as well Lamb of God and Trivium not in own font/logo means they'll be 4th down main or 3rd down second stage at highest, thats strong! Thought Lamb of God could step up to third, and Trivium have headlined second and subbed on main before and they haven't really gotten smaller. Think the lure of them playing Metalica day has made them accept a lower booking

[AcademicPistol]

It's all falling into place nicely mwahahaha (evil laugh). Rise Against vs Sabbath or Talica clash would suck!

[the_mars_volta]

Motley Crue would be a suitable the 2nd stage Friday headliner, they're around are they not? However they have never done main stage before and have done the second stage a couple of times.

[luckysalt]

Someone just asked how can Biffy go from headlining at Soni to subbing at Download, and Copping replied because we're a bigger festival? OUCH! Take that!

Ha ha

He also hinted towards Motorhead and Mastodon playing as he said keep your fingers crossed, usually he'll just ignore these tweets unless an act is playing.

[neilloggie]

Little Angels? some things are best left in the 90's

[AcademicPistol]

Download 2012 has more strength in depth than the 2004 - 2006 Chelsea team. I heard Simon from Biffy on radio 1 earlier saying that Metalica is the reason they wanted to play Download as they are working on the new double album this year mainly.

[the_mars_volta]

Ugly Kid Joe are brilliant! I didn't think I knew them but turns out I do - Everything About You is from Wayne's World and Cats In The Cradle, not sure how I know it but it's a very good song. A fine addition to the bill, think they will be 2nd stage.

[luckysalt]

Yeah Im pleased with Ugly Kid Joe too, hope I get to see them. Hope they aren't third stage headliner
