2013 Lineup

[eFestivals]

Now in fairness if there's one thing Professor Green can do it's rap, he was a world champion battle MC. Music is gash though.

from what I've seen on TV, the rapping's crap too.

this has nothing to do with reading festival or so, but download is bound to announce very soon--> they've got all 3 headliners booked and early bird tickets went off sale today...who'd you reckon?

A Download announcement could tighten the choices of reading festival headliners and give us a better idea...

Anyhow, I really liked the last Reading poster!

Same. But he must have some skillz in there somewhere to win them battle things.

or perhaps the quality of any of them isn't high....?

[jump]

When was download announcement last year? Im sure it was well before christmas.

[Mouseboy11]

My brother's publishing company is signing Josh Homme, reckons he'll be around a lot next year.

[thetime]

November but that was mostly due to Black Sabbath announcing their reunon and tour dates.

And Andy Copping keeps saying they'll announce sooner than we think. I've just been discussing it with a friend haha.

I think it'll be Rammstein, Slipknot and Maiden. Maybe BFMV instead of Rammstein. I'm just hoping Pearl Jam aren't there, so I can hold out hope for them at R&L a little longer.

Nope, Slipknot and Rammstein the same year? really?!

PJ IMO is the most likely out of any of them, due to a band member. Slipknot are not going to play Download next year. Play another show on the back of All Hope Is Gone with no new material when Corey is recording with Stone Sour, who will return to Download I imagine with Papa Roach 2 or 3 places under them. Then let another festival get Knot to promote the new album? Not a chance!

[Andre91]

If they have Rammstein I think they will get announced first, will be a massive draw.

[gazza_20]

I think Pearl Jam will do Hard Rock Calling or Sonisphere to be honest, but I get what you mean about Matt Cameron being there this year.

I didn't think Slipknot would be there, but there were some rumours about then earlier. Rammstein, Pearl Jam and Maiden would be a great set on my opinion.

[Hart Attack]

For Download, I'm thinking...

Nickelback

Evanescence

Alice In Chains

Coheed & Cambria

Dream Theater

Rammstein

Limp Bizkit

Within Temptation

Papa Roach

Motley Crue

Pearl Jam

Deftones

Nickelback - Would it happen?

Evanescence - Yeah or Maiden's sub at Soni but too Download 07

Alice In Chains

Mastodon

Coheed & Cambria

Dream Theater

Rammstein - Might just

Stone Sour - Yeah

Limp Bizkit - No

Within Temptation - Chance

Papa Roach - Yup

Slayer

Cypress Hill

HIM

Enter Shikari - This was my bet.

Not sure about Nickelback, they're big enough but I don't know how they'd go down.

[Vieuphoria]

they need a bigger space than that to see them at their best - not that seeing them again is ever likely to happen.

I saw them in 2001. They were one of the most awe-inspiring out of this world acts I have ever had the privilege to see. They were jaw-droppingly good!

I went to see them a week after that, but in the meantime their on-stage antics had caused one to break his arm or something, so we got a Dexter and the other one (I forget) DJ set instead - still mindboggling good, but not a scratch on the full live show.

As far as I'm aware they still exist, and keep promising a new album, but it's just down to two guys now, and I can't really believe they'll succeed in matching the magic of the last album over 10 years later.

Perhaps they're trying to beat Axl's record for years between releases?

[Hart Attack]

It's not a bad idea to be fair. PJ for Download sticks out like a saw thumb.

Even on them two headers, i think you need to replace Nickelback, they do sell tickets but for their own punters, not a Download audience, they'd get bottled to shit!

[Andre91]

Paramore

??? (Can't think of a sub)

The Offspring

Rammstein

QOTSA

Alice In Chains

Slipknot

Deftones

Slayer

We should be in the DL thread really :L

I was under the impression that Nickelback fans = hard rock/alternative metal fans = Download audience... seems like a perfect fit.

[Mouseboy11]

I never understood the hate for them mind, I actually quite like them. They're a great live act too, really tight band.
