Download 2015

Well if it is any of those, at least they can probably be announced soon.

I'm thinking weds, thurs, fri next week. Tickets back on sale on the Friday.

Already got my weekend ticket, will be trying to get freebies again like this year though, then sell the ticket for beer money.

Eagles of Death Metal have sneaked onto RAR/RIP lineups. Red Fang have also been announced for Azkena a week after Download. Not that big a deal but I'd be happy with both... on the same day... as AC/DC... and Soundgarden... please.

There is a new festival in austria, rock in vieanna headliners are muse, kiss and metallica and it´s just one week before download

Wow that's so close to Nova Rock's dates surely this is another attempt to wipe out a festival?

[cornucopia]

Seriously hope it's not Muse, Kiss and Metallica.

Very uninspiring set of headliners.

Even taking one out and replacing with Slipknot it's still not very good.

Ozzy solo set, maybe?

[lightning1000]

Not for me thanks, or Sabbath for that matter.

[Moey]

I guess this could sway whether AC/DC play or not !

They'll probably just sort a new drummer.

May explain why they haven't been announced for anything yet though.

There's a suspicious break in Nickelback's North American tour. Brand spanking new, eh?

A 2 month gap?

A 2 month gap?

Maybe 'suspicious' wasn't the right word. I was gonna edit it out.

The tour does join back up again the Thursday after Download. I wasn't being all too serious though.

I'd take Nickleback as a sub on the main. God help the ticket sales if they're announced as headliners.

[lightning1000]

Back in the UK! Bump into Kasabian Serge at Heathrow...Bonkers! Now, let's get that @DownloadFest announcement ready...hold on to your hats

Looks like we're getting the announcement next week.

Scenes when everyone was expecting Slipknot, GNR and AC/DC then end up with Slipknot, Nickelback and KISS.

Suppose it could be worse with Muse being around at the time.

[PastCaring]

eeeeeek! The undercard would need to be good!

Actually was gonna say Muse instead of KISS

[Moey]

Planet Rock reporting a new Van Halen album is on its way.....

Leftfield headliner - not played before, have they ?

[Ipayne]

Nope, haven't played in the UK since the early 90's I think?

[kipper64]

The last album was only out a few years ago, and didn't lead to any EU shows despite loads of rumours/people predicting a tour. So I seriously doubt it.

[justanothername]

And everyone thought this years was bad

[Ipayne]

I really think Kiss will be a headliner, missed UK out on their last trip to europe and unless they're doing their own shows there's nowhere else they'd go I don't think. Unless of course Soni want to risk booking them again..

[lightning1000]

And everyone thought this years was bad

a7x and aerosmith were both great. Linkin park were awful. With download, I find as the headliners are taken from such a small pool, if I get some I like it's more of a deal sweetener.

The undercard this year was great, as long as it's strong again this year I'm not really bothered who's headlining. I'll always get early bird as there's more for me to watch there than other fests.

[dentalplan]

Come to think of it, Slipknot, KISS and Nickelback would be the worst three headliners imaginable for me personally. Not that it'd happen.

I thought u were getting mixed up with soni sized gap...
