Lineup 2015

[dentalplan]

see, you were surprised.

Yep. Will give you that.

Their only UK festival appearance of 2015

No shit.

[tyranicide]

I would guess Refused are headlining Lock Up/ Pit/ Rock Stage but I could be wrong

[Tobieski]

Pretty meh for me, don't like Metallica

[#FreeComTruise]

not gone down well on twitter if ever there was proof the demographic has changed.

The majority of people I follow are chuffed, and also like acts like AM, Metallica just isn't gonna suit them all when they wanted the Libs!

[jump]

I'm so fucking bored of Metallica!!!

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Am I the only one who's a bit like... meh?

haven't headlined since 2008, was gonna happen sooner or later

[VCK]

Metallica? That will do very nicely.

Absolutely knocked it out of the park in 2008.

[tyranicide]

I haven't seen them yet but they're on my list of bands to see so I can tick them of next summer

[dentalplan]

It's like if you haven't had pizza since yesterday and your mate knocks on the door with a margherita pizza.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

So which of those is an NME headliner do we reckon? Not Courteeners again surely?

It's been a week, I'm alright for Pizza again even tho I had it at my mates 2 days ago

[GuitarManDan15]

2006 Download, 2008 R+L, 2009 Sonisphere, 2011 Sonisphere, 2012 Download, 2014 Soni and Glasto = Metallica are an exciting booking?

This really is the place where dreams go to die!

[Shaun182]

Would have chosen Linkin park over Metallica. (haters gonna hate)

[JSmurphy]

I'm incredibly happy with Metallica!!

[Spud001]

Manchester Orchestra AT FUCKING LAST

[Gucci Piggy]

Courteeners weren't announced so I doubt it.

not one person I follow has said anything about the festival, really really strange! I looked on the various hashtags and honestly there seemed basically nothing positive at all!

[Matt42]

haven't headlined since 2008, was gonna happen sooner or later

I was hoping it would happen a few years after they'd done fuck all

but if you go to festivals every year there's a chance you'l bump into metallica, they are never not touring.

[Andy_47]

I was too wasted at Download 2012 to even see them, so this certainly makes up for it. Hopefully their day is pretty heavy.

Refused is fucking awesome though. Kinda hope they're on the NME stage or something and not just put in the middle of the day on the main stage.

Pierce the Veil

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Good, maybe there will be less of the knobheads that made this years crowd so horrendous (until The Libertines are announced next)

[tyranicide]

2006 Download, 2008 R+L, 2009 Sonisphere, 2011 Sonisphere, 2012 Download, 2014 Soni and Glasto = Metallica are an exciting booking?

This really is the place where dreams go to die!

Yes they've played UK tests quite a lot but haven't played R + L in a while, and a lot of people who go to R+L might like them but not the line ups of those festivals as they're generally a lot heavier than R+L and so haven't seen them yet

[Dead throne]

one of the most boring too

[5co77ie]

Shit booking.
