i highly doubt they will pull out but if they do the only band fit to replace them i think is Lep Zep, the cost would probably be the same and offer Plant enough money and he would do it

i know some think Ozzy (solo) could fill but its a huge step down from Sabbath.

any other ideas of who could fill the huge sabbath slot?

[TYLER_4]

it wont be led zep lets put it that way.

[Chris_93_DL]

i know it wont be them, it was just my opinion, i think Maiden or Aerosmith, considering Aerosmith new album is out very soon

[TYLER_4]

TBH its more likely it will just be ozzy or soundgarden get a bump up. could be wrong, but that seems the most logical.

Soundgarden is good shout, wouldnt cost extra for DL and means they can shove megadave up a slot and throw someone else in under Megadave

[Chris_93_DL]

i personally would prefer that to happen, but i guess im in the minority

[2rare2die]

Tbh if Sabbath do still play, or if they pull out and it's just Ozzy, i'll most likely be at Rise Against anyway so not that fussed. If Soundgarden end up being bumped up though it may well give me a headache (probably with Soundgarden winning out) so i'm hoping Sabbath do still make it lol

[charlie2times]

if soundgarden got bumped up, could AIC not come in as sub?

[t8yman]

why would sabbath pull? surely they will just go on without Bill Ward?

There's no way on gods earth sabbath could command anywhere near the money led zeppelin would cost

Indeed, let's say if Metallica demand 6 mil, a figure I heard? Might be wrong, Zep aren't doing it for anywhere near that.

[eFestivals]

you are having a laugh arent ya? 2 tops.

I'd be hugely surprised if they've ever grossed even a million for a show in Europe (I've no idea if things might work differently in the states).

A led zeppelin tour would be the biggest money spinner ever, seriously there's not a band on the planet that could match then for ticket sales

I bow to your superior knowledge Neil, it was finger in the air stuff for me. I seem to remember reading somewhere that reading pay about a mil for headliners, and kinda used that as a guide, cos I read that years ago.

[mrtourette]

I imagine that R&L will always pay comparitively more for headliners as it's for two shows.

[t8yman]

No chance download would've paid a lot more this year for them?

Didnt AC/DC apparently get a reported 5 million for headlining DL 10?

Also I think that year I heard it was around £2m for Aerosmith and £1m for RATM.

We are still in the UK with Tony. Writing and recording the new album and on a roll... See you at Download!!! - Tony, Ozzy and Geezer
