Possibly another announcement coming at the end of February

According to Andy Copping's Twitter

anyone have any ideas how many bands will be announced?

[t8yman]

around the dozen mark i reckon, maybe more.

[Lithium05]

8 minimum, 18 max, I reckon.

[luckysalt]

He's got 10 acts ready so far.

Hmm I dunno, usually theres a couple of main stage spots held back CKY opening wasn't announced until very late last year

Reckon Friday main stage will have Presidents of the USA in the Puddle of Mudd slot of last year

[AcademicPistol]

I am hoping for Porcupine Tree, Hed P.E & Monster Magnet but that will never happen but one of them would be great.

The All American Rejects will be in the UK when Download starts, and they're free on the Sunday so hopefully there is a slot for them somewhere

[luckysalt]

All American Rejects headlined second stage at Download before but they're nowhere near that level anymore, so really they should take a slot lower down on the second stage that day

Four Year Strong are also supporting Blink but free at Download time.

Porcupine tree are dull live. Honestly. Great musicians, great albums, but fuck me it's like watching paint dry.

I really enjoyed them when I saw them back in 07.

[kaosmark2]

i'm pleased you enjoyed it, maybe I caught them on an off night, but if you closed your eyes, they could have been playing a PT CD. i like my artists to show some balls, to jump around a little bit, or at least show some fucking emotion when they are banging out a belter of a tune, but nothing. I understand wilson is a very accomplished musician and producer, but he came across as a bit of a charisma vacuum tbh.

not sure when it was I saw them, it was on the FOABP tour, with amplifier supporting, I saw them at the Newcastle Academy, which is a fucking great venue BTW.

Andy posted on the official forums...

''It will indeed be a band announcement...more than one. Also, there will be some other news too which should keep some people happy. I'm glad I had a good birthday today! Andy (Maverick)''
