If Volbeat clash with Korn I may cry!

[neilloggie]

I am seeing the heavier line up as a bit of a bonus this year. Anyway for the past few years people have complained that there is too much Camp Rock bands so for me at the moment AC has pulled through this year.

[Gingo]

He said "before Down" so they are 5th down

[GazzaScotland]

Where?

[kaosmark2]

Because I have a defective brain problem that prevents me from doing something that benefits someone that I despise. There's a very good chance that I'll like the Reading line-up but I'll be damned if my hard-earned (sometimes) money is going to help line the pockets of a cretinous shithead like Eminem, so this year I'll be looking for an alternative. In my strange mind purchasing a ticket for either Reading or Download validates the decisions they have made (FR's decision to book someone I have utter contempt for and AC's decision to behave like a retarded gangbanger) and it'll always be in the back of mind that as long as I keep buying tickets they'll keep thinking it's OK to do what they're doing. Of course even if I don't go they'll be someone else taking my place so it's a worthless and pathetic form of protest, but it keeps my mind happy.

Mr Copping, if you're reading this (which is doubtful at best), can we PLEASE have Bleeding Through seeing as this is their last tour!!!

Can't remember if already been discussed but could Deep Purple be the Classic rock second stage headliners on the friday?

I know people have mentioned ZZ Top,Skynyrd and Scorpions but i reckon Purple will pull a bigger crowd than all of them.

Also, saw an advert for Status Quo tour the other day, hope its not them.Just imagine a choice between Slipknot, Quo or Him? i genuinely have no interest in seeing any of those three.

(also, has it been confirmed that the second stage headliners will be Classic Rock? we all seem to be presuming it is without foundation.)

Bloody hell!! The abc thought they would be playing academies or have i totally misjudged their size?

Edited January 28, 2013 by lharris92

[Gingo]

considering it looks like there's only 5 dates then they will probably sell out as more demand for less gigs. just annoyed they picked brum instead of notts

edited to try and make it make sense

[jammy2211]

Killswitch arn't much of a ticket shifter nowadays tbh... can't honestly tell you the name of the last album, or a song off it. It totally flew under the radar - I had it on my laptop for a good while too!

[PDAD]

Mark Lanegan making an appearance on the new QOTSA album...could be a very very good set

[lharris92]

No what i mean is the abc is really small for what i thought they would be playing

[GazzaScotland]

First UK tour with the original vocalist so imagine the tour will do well. Were great at DL last year. Only time I think KSE have been an Academy headliner is on package tours?

[luckysalt]

Yeah I got the KSE dates as soon as they got eventually announced, it was meant to go onsale three weeks prior. Haven't got a ticket yet though, im still on the fence with Jesse, I think he makes KSE into just another band whereas Howards vocals made them stand out for me.

[luckysalt]

Oh by the way, dunno if its been mentioned but its confirmed UFO are the opening act for Main Stage on the Sat, I know they had been announced but not confirmed as the opening act

[gard]

I think they should roll back on to play Doctor Doctor live before Maiden come on... Being as they are there would be rude to play a recording don't you think??
