New Annoucement

[hardygra]

Anyone think Kiss had that stage and pulled out?

[thedudeman]

The Scorpions should have taken the offer, their no where near the popularity over here as the rest of Europe. Seen em at Graspop 2011 and they were great, but their not a headlining band. I'd imagine most of DL attendees wouldnt have a clue who the fuck they are!

Not doing DL this year so i'm a bit out of touch, have the 2nd stage headliners not been announced? if not i'd put my money on ZZTop.

anyone doing Hellfest this year?

Who could it be then? Twisted Sister? Buzzcocks or Thunder to headline 3rd Sunday?

Why are Uncle acid and the deadbeats playing above the sword and walking papers (who have duff mckagan in the band)?

As far as i am aware, they have only played a handful of gigs.

What i've heard from them sounds marvellous though.might check them out,clash permitting.

I need to check out some of the unknown bands on the smaller stages! Any must listen to bands?

[Greg123]

Brutality Will Prevail are really good live. Haven't seen them with the new singer though.

[Andre91]

This will get met with hate, but what about Fall Out Boy headlining the 2nd stage on the Friday? YM@6 did it last year, and with 'reunion hype' would they pull a decent crowd headlining the 2nd? Much more of an R&L band though.

Exclusive to reading?

If Andy is struggling to fill a headline slot for second stage it does make you wonder who on earth Sonisphere would have had if it had gone ahead (of course making Downloads job even harder)

Suppose Saxon could be booked also,could be announced after their UK tour.

[rivalschools.price]

Just been checking out Gorgol Bordello. The only thing i knew about them was the 'start wearing purple' song i heard when i saw them at reading a few times.

they sound like a cross between Borat and the Darkness, haha.

Are they a serious band or are they a comedy band?

[K126]

They are a serious band.... Well... more serious than steel panther for instance! And they are very good live.... Good fun
