One Headliner for 2013... Already Booked

[PastCaring]

Would love it to be Rush - this is one headliner that could persuade us back to Download - we've not gone to see them before because we've been put off by their vastly overpriced tickets Unfortunately, I don't think it will be them. I would go for either Van Halen or Rammstein.

[cornucopia]

I'll guess on Maiden as they are doing a (sort of) best of tour this year and next playing fests around europe next year

[AcademicPistol]

hell lets have a Rush Tool co headlining with Dream theatre, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, Karnivool dotted about

[Dead throne]

Du hast!

Rammstein

[Calzum]

I have spoken to a couple of teenagers recently who liked Rush so perhaps they are picking up a younger following aswell as oldies (although 2 is a small sample so perhaps not representative!)

[Justiceforcedave]

KISS?

[biffoire]

they are horrendously over priced here

[the_hedge]

Maiden and Van Halen next year me thinks.

[Hazz]

my guess is slipknot as their best of has just come out.they havent played since 2009 and i was there....still best festival experience of my life. so im gonna go with slipknot

[willutalk]

Slipknot or Maiden would be lush, hope one of them or both are booked!! Being popular metal artists they'd get the interest up for a good line-up up. Green Day / MCR / Blink 182 / Foo Fighters would be great to announce (a punky rock band or a Reading and Leeds type band) Then a random band e.g. Rammstein / Bon Jovi / Muse / A7X would be terrific!! A good solid variety of headliners.

Can't see past maiden Sunday

Bullet/a7x co-headlining Friday with stone sour billed as very special guests.

Rammstein Saturday?

Or maiden Saturday and rush Sunday?

Tho I love the super proggy day someone suggested!

Others: muse (arena dates in November) and foos. Maybe one of those on the Saturday?

Pure speculation!

I can see the bfmv/a7x thing tho...

I'm completely sure Van Halen will be one of the headliners. We all know Corey's favourite festival is Download, but it won't be Slipknot. The new SS album will be released in October, so they will probably be there, but not as a headliner, maybe sub or 2nd stage headliner. I can imagine that Iron Maiden is headlining in 2013, would agree with them though.

Other thoughts: Rammstein, Green Day, Aerosmith, Tool.

van halen touring Japan apparently so maybe europe too??

It's rumoured that Green Day have been booked for Rock Am Ring. Download/Rock Am Ring tend to share bands, or have similar bands, wouldn't be surprised if they appeared on one of the nights as headliner.

I'd be happy with Green Day, they had a reel feel good factor about them in 2004 at leeds last time i saw them.

But then again 50 Cent had just been bottled off.
