apart from 30stm, AMAZINGGGG!!!

these bands are as good as aerosmith im pritty chuffed wit the line up now and lamb of god are immense live (i just saw them) bring on download

I love how theres a little bit about each band and then “30 Seconds To Mars will also be on the bill at this year’s Download festival”. Well done Beez

i agree with josh 30stm are pritty shit ,i prefer heavy shit

LAMB OF FUCKING GOD!
this has made my year.
i was gutted when they went sonisphere last year.
and then i finally saw them on the 12th at manchester, which was IMMENSE and now Download
twice in one year

excited for log.

haha i love how everyone gets a write up except 30 seconds to mars because they suck

All good, but when are they gonna announce soundgarden, an bon jovi??? They must be playing! It just makes so much sense! Also I went on the artist info after clicking on aerosmith, and down the side it had pics of soundgarden and where it shulda had aerosmith’s top tracks it had soundgarden’s, so I’m wondering if they kinda let something out that they’ve been preparing for?

I liked the way it was like and 30stm but nevermind. They’re abit gay and stuff, but I dont mind them really.

Billy Idol and Stone Sour will be class!

FUCKING YES!!! DEF NEED A TICKET NOW!!!!!

Lamb of god metal enough fucktards? Single minded bell ends happy now? Good you can stop saying legendary headliners are crap now the only dissapointment for me is 30 seconds to mars but lots of people like them so im cool with that ill just go see someone else or go get drunk. See what i did there? Didnt need to moan about it at all it the problem really is that easily solved.

ha like each band has a little write up about them then at the end its oh and 30 seconds to mars as well… still need lots more metal bands come on download!!

Liking it all so far except 30SFM and BI – but as Bauld says, no moaning! Will just go and watch somebody else!

bloodstock still slays this lineup

Soundgarden directly below RATM, so they can throw in 1 or 2 Audioslave songs?

Decent line-up, but I don’t see how its the most “ground-breaking” line-up ever like Andy Copping has said. And i luv how most of the comments are basically “Awesome line-up! Except 30 secs..”. Personally, Sonis still has my vote

i agree, in the words of gill, beez and zippy… “thats not metal” (for the most part)

sonisphere and downlod may as well be the same festival as who ever isn’t at download because of sonisphere will be there next year and vice versa.

fuck me beez your up late.

stone sour – great. lamb of god – love it. 5FDP – fucking brilliant!

as for 30STM – THAT’S NOT METAALL!!!

30STM – thats not metal! but lamb of god and 5FDP are brilliant announcements

Wow! My favourite band Lamb Of God playing Download this year!!! This has more than made up for the shit news about Aerosmith!!!

Plus Stone Sour, 5FDP & Billy Idol!!! Sure Idol’s no spring chicken, but he rocks!!!

As for 30 seconds…see who gives a f**k!!!

‘30 Seconds To Mars will also be on the bill at this year’s Download festival.’

Classic! What more needs to be said about that, apart from don’t forget to bring your rotten vegetables to piff at those tuneless poser cunts

Omfg what an amazing line up the main headliners classics and stone sour and lamb of god easily the beat metal band ATM but all you guys are like only complaning about 30stm when 5 finger faggot punch are there prepare your bottles!!!

not enough to get me interested.

seen LoG
seen StoneSour, and lets face it, that was a predictable announcement, seeing as Corey Taylor hasn’t missed a single Download Festival yet.
Billy Idol….meh
30 seconds of shit……makes me want to vomit in my mouth.

Hellfest and Bloodstock all the way this year

Downloads not looking too bad so far

A couple of bands that would make it impossible not to go.
Sylosis As I Lay Dying
Machine Fucking Head All That Remains
Trivium Killswitch Engage
Unearth Scar Symmetry
METALLICA!!!!! DevilDriver

ColinJ – why not just go and watch a decent band instead? Throwing projectiles at bands you dislike simply fuels the myth that most metal and heavy rock fans act like moronic yobs when they gather in groups. Although there are always those that are keen to perpetuate such a myth, of course.

Jesus fucking christ. What an amzing line up. Im so there. Could Slipknot posibly be there if stone sour are?

Download and Sonisphere line ups are both good when you consider Glastonbury are booking the Wombles !!!!!!!!

Download supposed to be rock festival….. Download Was supposed to be a “replacement” for monsters of rock…. So why the fuck cant we have line ups like hellfest, etc… Proper Rock festival! it does say its 30th anniversary. All due respect RATM are ok … for the 2nd stage!… Well at least I am off to Poland for the big 4! And possibly hellfest!
Copping, get a fuckin grip and sort it out!

Adam – Good fucking taste! If all those ended up at download i would seriously make a sex wee.

Matt Seddon – They headlined mainstage last year…..all 3 mainstage headliners have been announced this year…they arent gona play lower down on the bill are they?! Think people, THINK

Anyway, for me, the lineup is alright. Im much preferring Bloodstock atm, but remember kids – Download still have a load more bands to announce…

Ohh dude I so wish I could go..
BFMV, 5FDP, LOG, 30stm
Sounds fucking killer to me..

Oh and weather you fucktards wanna believe it or not 30stm are metal and ARE awesome..

I love how you give every other band a big description and then theres 30 seconds to mars…..

@will the word you’re looking for is ‘whether’ and you clearly have no understanding of metal. if you think they are awesome fair enough, but they aren’t a metal band.

30stm are about as metal as letting Richard Fairbrass fart jizz into your mouth. Anyway I’ve just booked my ticket… for Sonisphere. Only LOG and Motorhead interest me at Download but there’s no way I’m going to fork out the money to watch 2 40 minute shows. At least I’m guaranteed 2 awesome headliners at Sonisphere

FFS Download…now I need to find the money to get a ticket! Already got Sonisphere so hopefully I can afford this to!

I love what they’ve done with 30 Seconds to Shit after giving the rest of the bands a bit write up… ‘30 Seconds to Mars will also be on the bill at this years Download festival’ haha!

Yeah Adam’s right. Even though theres no way Metallica will play now the other bands are awesome. Cannibal Corpse too though

So far, a very unexciting line up. But then Sonisphere isn’t much better.

Know who else is there? METROSTATION. Self confirmed on their website. Wow download.. just wow. -_-

Wow…this year the headliners aren’t that great but the others are absolutely AMAZING: Motorhead, BFMV, Lamb of God, 5FDP, Stone sour, even 30STM…the only headliner i like is RATM…

“30stm are about as metal as letting Richard Fairbrass fart jizz into your mouth.”

I guffawed out loud when I read that.

Incidentally, given the choice between 30STM and Right Said Fred, I’d rather see RSF. At least there’s the comedy value. Wait a minute….!

I think they have to get in something that will appeal to the kiddies these days like having My Chemical Toilet. But, as always, if you don’t like the band, there’s plenty to do and see elsewhere.

According to Mr Copping there will be no Soundgarden til 2011….

I totally agree Claire. I’d rather see Right Said Fred. In fact I’d probably choose the farting in my mouth over 30stm. It’s gotta be better than being bukakked with Jared Leto’s pretension

Anyway, there’s still a chance I might pick up a download ticket given that there’s still plenty of bands to be announced but if these are the so called “big surprises”, I’m not very optimistic
