Although festivals.co.uk (boo hiss) have Metallica rumoured for playing at Donington next year (which would be nice)
I have heard nasty rumours about Nickelback potentially head-lining...
Can anyone comment on this?
I hope to God it's not true... was looking forward to returning this year (after avoiding last years lineup)

It would seem that Heaven & Hell have self confirmed via their website that they are playing Download this year!
So that's an improvement on last year already!
;D

Apparently they're getting the same f*cking treatment as Judas Priest last year... i.e. "Special Guests"
Won't be headlining, but will have an extended slot on the Friday...

Fingers crossed for something half decent!

....I'm actually starting to consider the idea that the lineup may not be a load of crap...
Slipknot have self-confirmed to headline the Saturday
One day looks to have a classic rock feel, with efestivals having Def Leppard and Whitesnake as 'to be confimed.'
Also 'to be confirmed' are:
Devildriver
Dragonforce
God Forbid
Korn
Lamb of God
Limp Bizkit (...OK I'm defintly there now...)
Marilyn Manson
Motley Crue
The Prodigy
Oddly Heaven and Hell have gone down to only a 'strong rumour'
...oh and ZZ Top are rumoured as well...

Much as above... Slipknot Prodigy Motley Crue Korn Pendulem Dragon force Devil Driver Confirmed. New Download site to be launched on Friday, presumably still at www.downloadfestival.co.uk Guess we can expect more confirmations then. So far I won't be rushing out to get a ticket for this but the good thing is with Download you can usually wait a while as it won't sell out immediately. |

Def Leppard?  !!! HEADLINING??!!!!!??!!! You're jokin' aintcha? Jeez even at the height of NWOBHM no one in Blighty gave a shit. Whitesnake were awesome when Marsden and Moody were in the band but that must be about 25 years ago. Feeling quite glad I can't afford fessies this year. |
