2014 1st headliner

[thetime]

So are you saying Van Halen are a headline band or not? If you're saying they are, then it'd end of discussion really. Even the booker says they are than definite and I said they were and wouldn't sub. Regardless of whether booked or not, that's not even a detail.

I'm not even on a wind up lol, It's just facts

nothing to get over

I think they're a headline band, but I have no idea what's going on, and just assumed the fact they're not playing in any slot means there's no proof anyone was right about where they'd play.

[Gucci Piggy]

It's not like you can go by previous headline slots to prove it.

some young boy thing

[thetime]

To be honest, I have no idea what the debate's about, as said above, and as such I have no idea whether you're being sarcastic here (I assume you are, though, although they haven't played Download before have they?).

[Gucci Piggy]

It's about van halen headlining I think lol, no I was being serious.

Who knows I personally can remember them playing a UK fest at all. I'm sure they might of played monsters of rock in the 80s.

[thetime]

Oh right haha, yeah I know it's something to do with that, but I've no idea how it started or why it got brought back up again today.

I don't think they've played many UK gigs at all, have they?

[luckysalt]

So main stage is sorted for headliners. What about 2nd stage? I'm going for:

Motley crue

Alice Cooper

Bring me the horizon

Just a stab that's all it is.

[The Placid Casual]

Yeah this was my guess a few pages back too, expect I switched Cooper and Crue around,

Cooper to headline the Friday as its Friday the 13th and would follow on from Zombie on Main.

[Gingo]

Where the Dying Fetus thing originate from?

[2rare2die]

that's not my name

[SOAD]

Reckon Dream Theater, Frank Turner and Bring Me The Horizon could all be third down or second stage headliner. Motley Crue for second stage headliner against Linkin Park. Maybe:

Avenged Sevenfold

Rob Zombie

Killswitch Engage

Soundgarden

Linkin Park

Fall Out Boy

Bring Me The Horizon

Motley Crue

Aerosmith

Alter Bridge

Dream Theater

Frank Turner

Although wouldn't be surprised if Deftones, Marilyn Manson or Placebo turn up as second stage headliner also. Either would work against Avenged or Aerosmith.

Lamb Of God

[SOAD]

Pearl Jam apparently doing June dates will make Soundgarden pretty unlikely now. Could see one of the other choices turning up too, I'd side with Placebo out of those as the others might take too many away from main, and I doubt Andy would want A7X playing to a small crowd.

[jammy2211]

A7X

Zombie

Killswitch

Rise Against

Motley Crue

Linkin Park

Fall Out Boy

Frank Turner

Trivium

Alice Cooper

Aerosmith

Alter Bridge

Deftones

Antrhax

BMTH

[thetime]

They won't. Main was rammed last time they played and they've only got bigger since. They might not be the traditional kind of band but I don't think you are going to see a traditional kind of crowd this time either. FOB appeal to pop teens so hopefully the majority of them will be still at school for Download but I suspect the place will not be as empty as others are suggesting, just a bit different.

Which is why FOB are a strange booking, when a big part of there fan base won't be there.

[thetime]

not necessarily, cause they're on the Saturday and I'm sure there are a lot of people who'd fork out for a day ticket to see FOB and Linkin Park

[Com Truise]

Don't kids go to school on a Saturday now? No wonder the country's fucked.

[The Placid Casual]

Not happening, posted ages ago Andy reached out to them, got a no. Thats as far as it went.
