2014 1st headliner

[Com Truise]

Whereas for normal people its a nightmare

[luckysalt]

Just saying

Although I admit, I did change Pearl Jam to Aerosmith.

[Yellow_Fellow]

aahhahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha seriously

[The Placid Casual]

I can totally see it being that, and it works well. They're all arena selling artists, Andy can only book whats available.

[W!NNER]

Hybrid Theory is actually pretty awesome.. Least it'll be better than in 2011 where they did so much new shit I got bored

[Com Truise]

I can imagine these two announcement will alienate a lot of Download regulars

Then again, who gives a fuck?

[The Placid Casual]

Well, the fellow that leaked Linkin Park, A7X, Aerosmith, Alter Bridge, Stone Temple Pilots was the only one to mention LP wasn't he? If he was correct about that then, providing Alter Bridge and STP are subs, then Alter Bridge should be Linkin Park's sub and Wednesday's announcement should be Aerosmith and Stone Temple Pilots. Right?

Worth noting all three acts announced so far all played in 2011 in a top spot, 2011 being the worse selling download in the past 5 years, by FAR. we are talking a difference of at least over 20k people. No wonder they're doing early bird still.

With Alter Bridge, that'll be 4 from top spots in 2011.

I guessed last year's headliners in September 2012, it probably means nothing

If it's any of Pearl Jam, RATM or Aerosmith it will be totally worth staying up for, despite my 9am Philosophy lecture.

Personally, loving Avenged Sevenfold and Linkin Park announced as Headliners.

Seeing A7X on Dec 1st at Wembley Arena but I couldn't miss their first headline shot at Download, it'll be epic!

Thought with the talk of LP they'd have to do something special, and playing Hybrid Theory in it's entirety will be an amazing moment, one of my all time favourite albums!

[The Placid Casual]

But I haven't said 'predicting' once?

[the wonderwhy]

To be honest I hope they announce Metallica on Wednesday so I can laugh in the face of Black_Crow

[Dead throne]

LP? this is w*nk. Who's sub-headlining?

[luckysalt]

We all know who Sunday headliner is. Nothing has changed

[Andre91]

Aerosmith for sure then?

[Com Truise]

LP? this is w*nk. Who's sub-headlining?
