Announcement coming

[biffoire]

I thought it was a pretty reasonable question, while some areas of the line-up are strong I wouldn't consider The Prodigy subbed by C&S to be amazingly strong.

[t8yman]

lets be honest, we've got 5 bands that could all arguably headline a festival. prodigy, tallica, sabbath. and then soundgarden & machine head could arguably headline. we havent even got the 2nd stage headliners yet.

i think thats pretty damn special already.

[t8yman]

I'm very very jaded about metallica, theyve gone from being my favourite band of all time, to a band I honestly cant watch any more. but they are still a huge, huge draw. there are thousands of people who have never seen them, and would love to, and I am honestly jealous of them, what I wouldnt give to have my first time experiencing Metallica live.

[t8yman]

completely forgot biffy, of course. so thats 6 potential headliners not even including the 2nd stage big guns!

[luckysalt]

They are making a big deal of it, theyve said there will be things going on to celebrate 10 years, theyre also doing research if people would like a 10 yrs of download book

Yeah cos Black Sabbath and Metallica are just an everyday occurrence innit! Trivium 5th from top says to me WEAK LINEUP where no effort has been made at all.

[theramm]

Metallica are pretty much an everyday occurrence now.

*Yawn* - They haven't played Download since 2006.

[kaosmark2]

*Yawn* - They haven't played Download since 2006. If you've chosen to go to other festivals where they've played, and then decided to watch them instead of any of the other bands on at the same time you immediately lose the right to moan about them playing too many festivals.

[biffoire]

Moaning about it is quite different from emphasising that they're not a remarkable booking.

[kaosmark2]

Metallica may not be a remarkable booking, but them doing the the black album is.

[biffoire]

The MOP anniversary was awesome. the bits I remember. Black album is the next best thing for me. Then St Anger.

[Bobs]

Slash is surely the saturday act!

At least i hope so anyway!

[kaosmark2]

Then St Anger.

[biffoire]

I thought about putting it first but thought that was WAY too obvious as a troll move.

[luckysalt]

Andy has confirmed final adjustment for next week

14 acts getting announced

3rd down Main on Sunday

4th down Main on Saturday

and BOTH the remaining Second Stage headliners

Hopefully this time in 6 days the announcement might have leaked, Kerrang does come out early in places yeah?

[lharris92]

indeed it does, or at least i think it gets delivered to people with subscriptions on a tuesday depending on where you live/what the post is like

[t8yman]

I think soni have got to get in before that, i know it could tip me over the edge. just gutted about no RIP tix being left.

[theramm]

Tweets saying how 'insanely good' the Friday 2nd stage headliner is? Velvet Revolver?

[5co77ie]

Insane Clown Possie?
