Download Festival 2010: Who Could Headline?
It’s festival season so we’re getting our speculation-o-meter out and giving you the list of bands we reckon could headline next year’s Download festival.
Have we missed anyone out? Anyone who you’d like to see headline? Anyone on this list you really, REALLY wouldn’t want to see headline? Let us know in the comments section!
Rammstein
Well, they’re rumoured every year, aren’t they? They’ve got a kick-ass new album coming out, they’ve already grabbed your attention with THAT tits and jizz covered video and they’ve got a stage-show big enough to fill any venue. Donington wouldn’t know what had hit it.
AC/DC
Speaking of rumoured every year, Acca Dacca are extending their tour. What price an appearance at Castle Donington?
Bullet For My Valentine
They’re returning next year and they are, by all intents and purposes, massive. The down-side? They ‘split opinions’ to say the least and it could be a repeat of the My Chemical Romance incident that’s best left unmentioned.
My Chemical Romance
Did we not just tell you to never mention them at Download ever again?! Fuck. Off.
The Big Four
You read it here first. We would quite literally jizz ourselves if this was to happen and Download could well be the stage for this to come to fruition. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax on the same night. Yes, yes, yes, YES, YES!!!!!!
Iron Maiden
Is an album due next Summer? Check. Would they be able to pack Donington Park from front to back? Check. Would we absolutely fucking love it? You bet your ass, we would!
Green Day
They’ve sold a squillion, trillion, gazillion albums. The Offspring have done it and they’re infinitely better than them. We’re just saying it could happen! Don’t shoot the messenger!
Red Hot Chili Peppers
See above.
Ozzy Osbourne
He’s due one final hurrah, could he enjoy a final UK show at Donington? There has to be touring plans as he’s put together a touring line-up. Would he be able to put on a show that would fill Download?
Soundgarden
On the list of ‘likely reunions for 2010’, this is top by a clear mile. We’d prefer Sepultura but this would rule all the same. Well, as long as Chris Cornell didn’t rock up in a Fubu tracksuit and a doo-rag around his bonce, boyee.
Foo Fighters
Grohl and his warriors will have had their ‘Greatest Hits’ album out for a while and there’s a real chance that they could bring that show to Download.
Bon Jovi
It’d rule. If you watched Def Leppard this year, you’ll know that all-out, throat-shredding rock anthems are the perfect way to end a Download weekend. Bon Jovi could do this better than just about anyone.
Van Halen
If the price is right, it’d be a hell of a night. The problem being that the price would be…ONE MILLION DOLLARS! (and quite a substantial bit more, we would wager).
Aerosmith
If we were the betting types at Metal Hammer, we’d have a cheeky punt on this one.





a lot of them wont come but it would be awsome if they did, im extremly excited about the big four
I think these bands are also good shouts:
Linkin Park
Muse
Paramore
Placebo
Blink-182
Tool
Rage Against the Machine
Metallica (not big 4)
Are you crazy, bullet can’t headline
Casper, Blink182 will be at R&L for sure, Paramore, Placebo and Muse I highly doubt. Rage aren’t touring anymore – Tom Morello’s said it’s not where he wants to be atm.
Tool have gone quiet recently, and doubt Linkin Park would be back so soon after a headline slot.
N I’m sorry but BFMV!? Seriously Hammer, they headlined 2nd stage at Sonisphere and from what I’ve heard, they were shit.
next theyll be saying fall out boy
LP have headlined a UK festival every year since 2007. It could easily happen
And why not Muse? They’d sell it out and be a huge draw.
I think a four day festival with one of the big four headlineing each day would be incredible the fans would love it and for the organisers it would make an immense amount of money and its far more realistic than them doing an actual tour together and come on metal hammer you really have to stop licking bullet for my valentines ass they couldnt headline the festival i hold in my back garden every year
Machine Fucking Head can headline.
And if My Chemical stinkin’ Romance was there, we could have a Limp Bizkit deja vu!
BFMV wud be fucking sic, add in 5FDP at a higher slot thn last year nd im there!
i would love for bfmv and rammenstein to headline
I think Spinal Tap mite return AGAIN for download whs with me?!?!?! they did that whole one night world tour thing, so why not download???? what a way for spinal tap to actually go out! playing donnington!!
Iron Maiden
AC/DC
BFMV
Van Halen
The Ozzman
Megadeth, ‘Tallica, Anthrax, Slayer
OMFG! This’ll be the fucking best festival Donington will have had in years!
DDDDDDDDDDD
I swear to God if all these bands are confirmed im going and no fucker will stop me!
Wait… what? BFMV headlining? Not anytime soon.
AC/DC, I beg of you.
Megadeth might play it big 4 would be legendary though
Rammstein!
Bands I want to see are:
Ozzy
Metallica
Maiden
Rammstein
Lordi
Within Temptation
5FDP (Got to speak to Moody at this years download!)
That would be awesome
What about Heaven & Hell? Hopefully Tony will be back in action by then?
What about Coal Chamber?
Would be cool to see them despite Devildriver’s success
I’m surprised no one has mentionned Alice In Chains actually!
Thye havn’t played Donny since o6!
Coal Chamber were shit.
Heaven and Hell aren’t big enough to headline.
Alice In Chains aren’t big enough to headline.
it has to be machine head they headline wacken this year so why not download whos with me on this
Muse could be added to this. I think they’ll do reading though.
A big 4 day could be a possibility. With Megadeth subheadlining for metallica if dave gets over his ego. (fat chance!). I think Megadave will be there anyway and a second stage headline set would be ace. Same goes for AIC.
Bullet would be a good sub headliner. Not quite big enough to headline yet. They don’t have enough big tunes. However they are as big if not bigger than lostprophets were and they did it.
Realisticly…
Machine Head
Mastodon
Van Halen
Alice In Chains
Metallica
Megadeth
Green Day
Can I also say, Athiest & Bloodbath have been announced for Hellfest
I FUCKING WANT THEM AT DOWNLOAD
How about a return from the mighty Kiss?
With a stunning new album out, I think they’d do well again, all depending when their current tour hits the UK.
Come on Bon jovi would be bloody awesome!
Paramore or Placebo big enough to headline but Alice in Chains and Heaven and Hell too small? You must be joking dude?
Wouldnt complain if Foo Fighters were there as the token popular-with-the-masses band, but idealy Rammstein and the Big 4 would be epic. Acca Dacca as the Classic Rock act perhaps?
I would suggest Lamb Of God, In Flames or BFMV to headline.
Paramore?? whoever wants them to play should definately not be on this website.
The hot rumour is Rammstein, Machine Head, Van Halen. It’s unlikely to be Muse or Green Day or RHCP as they could fill enormodomes and fields themselves so why headline a festival when you can make shit loads of green on your own.
Look at the actual good festivals (wacken and hellfest) GET IMMORTAL!!!!!
my ideal realistic headliners:
tool
‘tallica
muse
dream headliners:
s.o.a.d.
machine head
foo fighters
I think…
Rammstein
Pearl Jam
Metallica
Possiably Rob Zombie or Iron Maiden rather than Pearl Jam.
There will be 4 headline acts for 2010 and at least two are comebacks. See you there, dont forget to BYOB.
Might be Green Day or blink 182.
Not as if punk bands can’t and/or havn’t headlined before…
And both are actually pretty good when in the mood for them
I certainly think AIC will likely play again next year anyhoo.
Where’s Limp Bizkit? Tut
Personally, my preferable headliners would be:
Foo Fighters
Pearl Jam
Bon Jovi/Aerosmith
or Coheed and Cambria
..But that’s probably not going to happen. There have apparently been rumours of Bon Jovi and Aerosmith, which I HOPE are true but you never know. It would make sense for Pearl Jam to, the demand of their tour mid this year kind of proves that theory.
Realisticly, if the organisers REALLY wanted to push the boat out, going to be one of these:
AC/DC
Metallica
Iron Maiden
Heaven and Hell
Green Day
Paramore (unfortunately)
Alice in Chains
Placebo
Rammstein.
In other slots, I’d really like to see:
Cradle of Filth
Children of Bodom
Steel Panther
Pendulum
Prodigy
Linkin Park
Killswitch Engage
KORN!!
Biffy Clyro.
That would be a fucking epic weekend.
MACHINE FUCKIN HEAD!!!!!
bullet were shit at sonisphere and thats coming from a big fan whos seen them more than 20 times. having said that it was pissing down lol
fuck download anyways sonisphere is much better…closer to where i live
Maiden
Ozzy
Megadeth
Metallica
Slayer
Van Halen
AC/DC
Motley Crue
Not my chemical romance.
Gavinge
If Bloodbath do announce for a UK festival it is about a million times more likely to be Bloodstock than Download
BFMV & 5FDP should defo headline
Download:
Friday: Soundgarden (If they DO reform)
Saturday: Rammstein
Sunday: AC/DC (OH PLEASE GOD!!)
Sonisphere:
Saturday: Foo Fighters
Sunday: Maiden (this year’s touring band)
Lamb Of God
Childron Of Bodom
Jingee I like your thinking. A LOT.
Would make sense since the Foos LOVE playing here in Summer, Soni’s a new fest, and Maiden headlined Download in 07 so doubt they’ll be back that quick.
Look at the venues Paramore and Placebo play then look at the venues H&H and AIC play. Paramore and Placebo are both huge, a lot of people at Sonisphere I met had never even heard of Heaven and Hell.
dc,maiden ozzy the big four now that would be a good weekend fuck bullet and my chemical romance.pussy music who wont be around in ten years
they should have tenacious d there headlining or at least the slot before headliners…
i think its about time machine head were given the headline slot and gojira… basically any metal bands that have released really good albums but still remain on the lower slots
if i wanted to see muse headline, i’d go to leeds and reading, fuck off!
chilli peppers would be good to see if they limited there set to songs from ther older albums..
why not sepultura reunion or a Proper Korn reunion?
i could only pray to see cannibal corpse headline the main stage but thats definately not going to happen..
Lamb Of God
Children Of Bodom
In Flames
Volbeat
One of these would be awesome!
Casper, H&H played the same venues as Paramore are playing this year on their last tour, Machine Head have headlined the same venues as well.
So yeah, i’d LOVE to see H&H, or a Black Sabbath reuinion again.
Cannibal Corpse whilst good at what they do are not going to headline download Nailman, I saw them about 8 years back and they failed to fill Dudley J.B’s which has the capacity of a large shoebox.
Sepultrua to headline on Friday
Big 4 on Sat
Maiden on Sunday
That will do nicely.
DEVILDRIVER or System reunion!!!!!
Guns n Roses Reunion
I find it odd how small a lot of people are thinking. Come on people, we’ve had Kiss, Slipknot, FNM, Metallica, Maiden, Tool and others over the last few years so there’s hardly likely to be an early announcement for somebody like Korn. That’s not to say I don’t like Korn, but all the signs are that this will be HUGE- i.e. another awesome reunion a la FNM (please let it be Van Halen!!!!) or somebody like AC/DC. Rammstein would be awesome, and I hope they are there, but I don’t think even they’d get the privilige of being Download’s first ever pre-Christmas announcement.
alice cooper, rammstien, rob zombie, iron maiden
Rammstein
Maiden
Either In Flames, Children of Bodom or Lamb of God
Possibly…
Rammstein
Pearl Jam
Van Halen
If Korn’s new album s out by then they will headline on of the days I would wager.
Its time for the allmighty +Rammstein+ to come to the english shore and give download a slapping for some serious bad mistakes in headliners in the past few years!!!!
e.g –
kiss, def leppard, my chemical romance, the offspring , lostprophets….THEY ALL SUCK!!!!
the last headliners that deserved their place was Iron maiden in 2007, even though slipknot gave it a good shot this year!
2010 -The year download should have the BEST band in world on their main stage (+RAMMSTEIN+)
MOTLEY CRUE! … again
I know there nto one fo the most heaviest bands out there but HIM are a great band and we havent herd much of them in the UK!!!
Plus Red Hot Chili Peppers !!
…mmm sounds apart from the my chem and bullet for my valentine. i would like to see Audio slave play at download….
DOWNLOAD 2010 BRING IT ON!!!!
where is this?
ive never heard of it before.
i just hope its in the U.S., even possibly by Utah, so i can see MUTHA FUCKIN’ RAMMSTEIN!!!!!!!!!!!! If you watch their “Volkerball” concerts, They would blow everyone out of the water!
especialy paramore. they dont even hve a chance being compared to my chem. HAHAHA
Gojira lamb of god avanged sevenfold
If Rammstein and Aerosmith are headlining two of the three days I am there.
no green day or my chemical romance they suck i say the headlinners should be aerosmith rammstein or van halen or a good ledgendary band ohhh i would like to see slipknot at it an i dont wana see mettalica at all at download megadeth and anthrax should play and possibly acdc oh try get black stone cherry or airbourne as well well i hope the classic rock day is good……………….. keep us posted
what d fuck? hasnt anyone heard of LAMB OF GOD? dudes, they’re one of the biggest metal bands on earth today.. definitely they shud headline on the iron maiden stage itself!
\,,/ \,,/
big 4
bfmv
systym
ac/dc
the prodigy
and greenday to be killed
i want to go and i idc who’s on xD
but i’d like
Rammstein
Cradle of Filth
Muse
Metallica
Aerosmith
Green Day
Ozzy
and a System reunion would be nice
and i’d LOVE to see Led Zepplin…guess i’ll have to give up on that 1 tho
All you lot never heard of heaven and hell, bet you know Black Sabbath, Right……………………………… they’re THE SAME BAND. Get educated!!
ermm no offence man.. the year that james and dave play donington together will be the day i like a sumo’s gooch… it would be awsome to see em both… but it wont happen.. id rathe rjust have metallica anyways personaly.. dave is a bell.
Peace.
kiss
ozzy
bon jovi
metallica
megadeth
alice in chains would be a unique donnighton
the fuckin wildhearts
Aerosmith back at donnigton, well happy with that !!
BFMV definitely wouldn’t headline. They’re big, sure, but not THAT big. They only have two albums… and have been around since like what, 2004? I could see them headlining the second stage or playing anything below the second slot on the main stage, at the very most.
Also, I’d love for Andrew W.K. to play one festival, whether it be the Bohemia tent at Sonisphere, the main stage at Download or fucking Reading. I don’t care, I must see him. (Preferrably Sonisphere though)
Rammstein Ozzy Bon Jovi as headliners I reckon.
Get Twisted Sister!!!
Heaven and Hell
Megadeth
Get the good old Cock-Rock in there like Winger, Poison, Ratt, Britny Fox ( would be awesome but pretty unlikely
). Bon Jovi, headliners ????? Yeah can see that happenin’.
But PLEASE PLEASE HAMMER, keep away from BFMV and also My Chemical Underpants.
Seeing Megadeth there would be awesome, Lacuna Coil would also kick some ass.
Rammstein would probably blow Donnington up, so bring them on, would be cool to see them.
Can’t wait though to see what’s gonna come up.
would be a disgrase if FFDP didn’t show up
really hoope iron maiden and ozzy osbourne go and not forgetting ACDC, HELL YEAH!!!
download or sonisphere id like to see.
metallica.
devildriver,lamb of god,the cancer bats,hatebreed,ramstein
Limp Bizkit
SOAD
Megadeth
Metallica
Slipknot
Lamb Of God
Maiden
Static-x
Machine Head
Slayer

To all the people who are indenial and honestly believe that the likes of Green Day or Blink 182 cannot headline Download. OPEN YOUR F***ING EYES! MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE HEADLINED! LOSTPROPHETS HEADLINED! THE OFFSPRING HEADLINED! GREEN DAY OR BLINK 182 CAN HEADLINE THIS FESTIVAL! DOWNLOAD IS NOT A METAL FESTIVAL ANYMORE! according to Andy Copping, it never was anyway! And due to the fact that Green Day are playing Wembly around the same weekend, the likelyhood of them headlining is pretty damn high! Get OVER it! Rant over..
i would like to see is
Machine head
ozzy
die en grey
AC/DC
korn
Slipknot
bullet for my valentine
How about BTBAM (Between the Buried and me)!!!!??????!!!!!!
i wonder if Lamb of God will be at download this year? they are touring at the mo so maybe?
i wanna see fucking anal cunt playing
huge bon jovi fan only 21 and ive seen them 9 times and got living on a prayer as a tatt
as you guys said if Def Leppard can do it then 4sure the guys from new jersey can 50 k people singing living on a prayer wanted dead or alive and its my life would be to sick!
same with ozzy that be awsome and would deffo make download rocking
i love mcr+bfmv but for all the abuse they get i dont think its worth it tbh unless bullet play sometime during the afternoon or second stage
Rammstein have to come everytime i go download they r the band every1 want to see new album is out the stage effects would be out of this world book them now
green day or rchp=huge thumbs up
PLZ Motley Crue come back last year was fooking awsome
VAN HALEN AND AEROSMITH would be sweet
though i can see bon jovi and aerosmith on the same bill fans hate each other
fuck paramore and bfmv headlining!! downloads and metal festival slipknot again/lamb of god/cradel of filth to headline fuckers!!!
MACHINE HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need
- Cradle of Filth:D
-Arch Enemy:D
-A Day to Remember:D
- Epica
- Skillet
-Lacuna Coil
- Job for a Cowboy
- Children of Bodom
- Paramore
and finally Dimmu Borgir
I don’t think i could jizz ever again if that lot came
If fucking MY CUNT REAKS (mcr) are there I swear down I’m gonna butcher the petty little emo bastards and throw their mutilated corpses in the crowds and then send the remains to their parents COZ THEY ARE SO SHIT!!!!!!!!!
and i forget to mention ATREYU
Rob Zombie’s bringing out a new album. He’d be an awesome headline!! Blink 182, Rammstein and Kiss(again) because they are touring europe next year!
AC/DC, & AEROSMITH think they will cause they get on, wich reflects korn n limp from thhis year. and hopefully fukin slipknot
My Dream Top 10:
Within Temptation
Nightwish
Lacuna Coil
Iron Maiden
Rammstein
Lordi
Delain
In This Moment
Brother Firetribe
Dragonforce
Oh and Lunatica are great!
X
Rammstein
Muse
Green Day
AC/DC
Bon Jovi
Aerosmith
Metallica
Rammstein for me tho… would be amazing!

* PEARL JAM
* 12 STONES
* HINDER
* SOUNDGARDEN
* RE-UNION OF TEMPLE OF THE DOG
* LINKIN PARK
* METALLICA
* FAITH NO MORE
* W.A.S.P.
It’s definitely going to be System of a Down in my opinion. They said they’d be back together for 2010!

SOAD
KoRn
Disturbed
A7X
Dragonforce

headflining the main stage:
lacuna coil (they’d have to make their set longer)
arch enemy
motley crue
metallica
aerosmith
Get megadeth and opeth for the fuckin tour.
Rammstein have to headline not just because they are brilliant but also who would clean up the stage after them quick enough!!
Slipknot.
Wednesday 13 in whichever band he chooses to bring.
Korn.
Marilyn Manson but not so wasted (Allegedly).
Cradle of filth.
Arch Enemy.
Ozzy Osbourne.
Opeth.
That will do us nicely thank you.
Steel Panther…

My wish list.

The big four over four days with ACDC, Testament, Machine fuckin head, lamb of god, Down, Sylosis, sabbath.
These are the bands I want at Download.
Friday: Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, Kyuss, Turisas, Killswitch Engage (again), Clutch, Baroness, Lamb Of God, DevilDriver.
Saturday: Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Tool, Testament, Rammstein, Deftones, Machine Fucking Head, Cannibal Corpse
Sunday: IRON MAIDEN (how much more classic do you want?), IRON MAIDEN, IRON MAIDEN, IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST, that would fucking rock!!!!
Rammstein would be epic
and AC/DC would just be like a fucking dream come true
also i wwould like
Foo Fighters
Slayer
Iron Maiden
tenacious D < would be fuckin epic to see
OZZY !!!!!!
Marilyn Manson < should come back to redeem himself
Within Temptation
Evanescence
and SLIPKNOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
30th year of the festival so go back to the bands on the very first bill so maybe judas priest should be asked to headline one of the days
How about Avenged Sevenfold, Atreyu, Bullet For My Valentine ? Or Marilyn Manson ? Or Machine Head ? Or As I Lay Dying ? Slipknot ?
So mant bands to think of that I would love to be there anyway!
Or also Bring Me The Horizon!
&&&& PLEASE NOT DRAGONFORCE THEY ARE SHIIITEE!!
To be honest, three mainstage headliners.
Rammstein
Lamb of God
Tenacious D
Amirite?
Give me sound old school Soundgarden or Chains
oh yea kiss would be epic too
I could see slash and fergie being there, :/
I also heard something about halford doing a tour,
Does anyone know if Paramore is set to lay Download 2010?
Lamb of god to headline saturday, new album came out earlier in the year. they better fucking be their. SORT IT OUT FOR EVERYONE
Pearl jam would be awesome… and i fu**ing LOVE slipknot!!!
Rage against the machine
Pearl Jam
The big 4
I’d pay any sum of money to see that :’)
Also, Alice in Chains, Faith no more (seeing as i missed them last year… and Rammstein!!
most of those bands are shit (excluding slayer, maiden, megadeth). How about some good metal like therion, blind guardian, children of bodom !?!?
heres who i want to headline,
GUNS N ROSES,
AEROSMITH,
BON JOVI,
MAIDEN,
METALICA,
AC/DC,
NIGHTWISH,
MUSE,
LADY GAGA (HAHA OJ)
MACHINE FUKIN HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i do also enjoy the idea of seein van halen
Just get the big four to do the whole weekend, over and over again!!!
ffs!! stop with all this paramore shit. for starters this is a metal festival and second a metal website.
we need!!!;;
-Machine head
-Lamb of god
-Slayer
-Slipknot
-AC/DC
-Metallica
-Rammstein
-Ozzy
-MAIDEN!!!
(Please a return from SOAD, they are too awesome!)
Tool and Muse would be mental! :0
UHM…AEROsmith…please people, rock legends!!!
Unfortunately, I think Bon Jovi is playing thier O2 gigs that weekend
I might piss a few pple off here, but I think Muse should never play @ Download…there appalling: more of a Reading fest band(?)…oh and Tenacious D are a waste of time too..(Im sure ive made some enemies on here now, haha).
However, AC/DC, RATM would be ammaaazingg..doubtful, but still!
I saw B4MV @ Sonasphere, they were OK,dnt think they would headline….Killswitch &/or Lamb of God either headline second stage or v.high up on main stage.
Bon Jovi are playing at the 02 on 11th and 13th, meaning they could play Saturday
Did i read right or i read Paramore?
WTF…are u kidding?
it’d be awesome if BFMV’ll headline
And i think it’s gonna be unforgettable if AC/DC, Aerosmith and Foo Fighters will headline (;
avenged sevenfold, metallica, HIM, rammstein
korn, atreyu, SOAD, billy talent
fri- Hellyeah
sat- Machinehead
sun- Satyricon
or
fri- megadeth
sat-slayer
sun- Anthrax
Let real metal reign
I was there in 09 and i would love it if slipknot were there again because they were amazing! Also love it if Machine Head, BFMV, 5FDP, Metallica and AC/DC were there (guess i’m asking a bit much, a girl can dream though) And if paramore was there i wouldn’t be (well i would be i’d be moshing and hurting all the pop freaks)
slipknot deffinatly said they would come back next year fear factory might come as they are abck together but not with the orignal line up
ffdp i would like to see on main satge
oh also in flames would be aswome
how about sabbath and priest headling, the original metal heads
What is everyones problem with BFMV? I agree they are not big enough to headline mainstage but i think there a fairly good band…..
I would love a SOAD reunion, that would headline for sure, also big for would be immense but Slayer and Anthrax have already announced for Sonisphere. Rage Against The Machine to headline and AC/DC.
I’d like 36 Crazyfists to play as they are one of my favourites but they not big enough to headline. Rammstein and Maiden also playing Sonisphere 2010. So yeah i think
friday ……………….RATM
saturday …………..SOAD
sunday …………….AC/DC
I`m sure TOOL should be on festival too.
Maiden and Rammstein have announced that their only shows this summer will be at Sonisphere …
Lamb of God
Machine Head
BFMV
should NOT be the headliners … i like them, but theres much bigger bands that could potentially headline!
on a side note Young Guns should DEFINATELY play somewhere on the stage (obviously not headlining cause that would just be fucking stupid xD), i saw them at sonisphere last year and they were the best band there (along with Architects & Cancer Bats)
Wee NEED :
Machine head
Megadeth
Slayer
Maiden
(Ozzy)
i feel as if W.A.S.P could play or headline the 2nd stage. if not i hope they play Bloodstock. even if the line-up is incredible @ download, id rather go Bloodstock. Download’s not comercial for me.
anybody for steel panther in 2010, they fucking rule and it might even turn into a massive orgie/mosh mix up fuuuuuck yeaaaaa
all the major festivals have already announced there headliners apart from Download why is there no official headliner???
i have been for five years in a row and i love it but we all want headlinders!
THE BIG 4!!
DEVILDRIVER
BLINK 182
AVENGED SEVENFOLD
RATM!
AC/DC
ANVIL
TRIVIUM
EVILE
TESTAMENT
MASTADON
MACHINE HEAD
MUNICIPAL WASTE
LAMB OF GOD
HATE BREED
BLACK TIDE
all these bands should go. Emagine the big four!!
oh yeah i forgot STEEL PANTHER!!!
bring ROB ZOMBIE!! it ill be so sic!
i had a bet wiv my mate whilst watchin def leppard last year that green day, metallica n aerosmith wud headline this year, bur tylers gone to rehab so probs acdc instead of them?
my 3 headliners would be iron maiden, judas priest & guns and roses
well some of the facts that we no are that there keeping the theem of old school rock night on sunday next year wich would explain the roumer of van halen playing. anouthere fact is that there getting 4 bands back together to play now rage agenst the machine wining christmas number one and anouncing they will do a free gig… this year i recon they will play systum of a down thel get back together and the only outhere bands i can think of is deep perple and black sabbth now i dont no about you but that would be 4 EPIC bands to get back to gether!!!!!!!
Metallica wont headline download for they own 30% of sonisphere, so they will be help recuriting people to play at their festival.
Rammstein & Maiden are at sonisphere already, and they are planning to annouce a 3rd day & Headliner, u didnt hear that from me
!!
If BFMV did headline this festival would be going downhill like Reading so please dont let me see this happen !
Why does anybody care what happens at download? Any metalhead worth their salt boycotted download years ago it’s all about bloodstock theese days!
wat the fuck happened to slipknot!!!
hey hey hey hang on a minuet slipknot tore down the stage last year and they DEFFINATLEY should headline again maaaan!!!
only 1 name the wildhearts!!!!
Four year strong
Mudvayne
Atreyu

So there it is my Downlooad
I can just about grasp Aerosmith on the Classic Rock stage but Van Halen & Bon Jovi?? NO NO NO!!! Its not the Classic’s of ‘Suck’ stage!!!
Judas Priest for that stage!
sorry to dissapoint
but anyone who headlines/tours sonisphere festival usually doesn’t tour download festival
which is sad, because I wanted Motley Crue and Alice Cooper to do Download again
=x!
Some awesum bands for headlining:
Tool
Mastodon
Opeth
In Flames
SOAD reunion (looking forward to that!)
H&H or Sabbath reunion
Rammstein
Dream Theater
TENACIOUS D! (could be fuckin’ awesome)
And would love to see Eluveitie playing too!
and Anvil would be cool too
one problem with some of these is that
1. Rammstein won’t be there due to them headlining sonisphere this year.
2. Avenged Sevenfold are unlikely to do anything soon with Rev dying and all.
3. Iron Maiden won’t be for same reason as Rammstein.
4. Paramore won’t be there because i’m going to murder them all for making music
whoever headlines Donington it’s not maiden or rammstein. Download have let us down these few years, well done to Bloodstock and Sonishere
why doesnt any one want paramore to go? i hope they do!! and bullet for my valentine
i think
muse
rhcp
green day
pendulum (on lower stage)

i could see pearl jam playing, they play london like a week-ish after, plus with stone temple pilots confirmed and soundgarden rumoured……all you need is Pj + alice in chains and could have like a little (or rather BIG) 90’s grunge reunion, i’d love it.
Whoever for friday, grunge sat and finish off with legends like AC/DC and Motorhead on sunday…..
any takers????
