Download To Announce Headliner Soon?

download_90Big things are afoot in the Download camp.

Anyone who’s a dedicated follower of Hammer knows that we like to keep a very keen eye on everything that’s going on regarding festival announcements. Well, things seem to be heating up to the point of getting red-hot around the 2010 Download bill.

Traditionally, the festival’s headliners usually get announced around February for the Donington metal-fest but it seems as though there may be announcement coming VERY soon from the Download camp. How do we know this? How does anybody know anything these days – it’s on Twitter.

Yesterday, Download festival supremo Andy Copping posted: “Things are starting to hot up on the Download 2010 front! News coming really soon…watch this space!!!”. With this little outburst, we thought we’d keep our ear to the ground.

This morning, Copping has Tweeted: “Hang on to your (cowboy) hats peeps…all will be revealed, it’s super exciting though & we’re in for a treat…roll on June!” and followed that up with “Steady on folks…don’t bully me! I’m getting to close to letting you know who I’ve bagged & I’ve been fishing real hard…it’s exciting!!”.

Last but far from least, Copping replied to someone to confirm that it’s going to be a big name, saying: “@fallen013 Nowt wrong with Kid Rock, we’re all at peace with that now but I’m talking bigger fish baby!!”

Who’s it going to be? We’ll get our thinking caps on and get back to you.

PLEASE LET IT BE METALLICA!!!

Sam Ellis - Thompson

Deicide mainstage headliner?

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN TO HEADLINE!!!

I’d love Maiden to be there.
But Big acts?
Cowboy Hats?
Could this be some form of Pantera get together?

terrybezer

In 2008, the only 2 bands I wanted to see were Kiss and Dillinger and they played at the same time. FAIL-load.

AC/DC, Van Halen???

shake & bake

maybe Skynard

AC/DC, Metalica, areosmith???? there my guesses.

king of heavy metal

hoping for ac/dc, rammstein and iron maiden

Burnside

I think it’ll be Foo Fighters, Rammstein and Bon Jovi

Pantera reunion? and who exacty is going to play guitar? there’s only one dimebag and it simply wouldn’t be the same, it would just be a ‘lets cash in’ thing.

Personally if anyone headlines I hope Download finally gets ACDC and Rammstein and to befair that would be the only two that would make me go back, the last two years have had absolutely awful line ups.

Hang on to your (cowboy hats)???

Bet it’s bloody Bon Jovi.

Cowboys hats. Could be Lynyrd Skynyrd

noobpotato

Job for a cowboy? (:D)

In all serious i think headliners would be rammstein,metallica,acdc

Hoping for Rammstein!
As long as they’re a main stage headliner I’m happy, if the other two are good then that’s just cream on top :P
AC/DC would be kickass to see though and/or Van Halen!

Rammstein have gotta be playing this year…maybe not a headliner…although i’d love to see that!

Bee_Gee

Take That with Robbie?

korn or cradle of filth

korn or cradle

ha take that with robbie i would love that….. pantera reunion would be old with a coffin on stage… im thinking lamb of god! although i dont think they wud headline

Well one thing’s for sure.
Steel Pantehr are gonna be playing the Main Stage next year :P

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Download_Festival#Download_2010

AC/DC, Machine Head and Bon Jovi!

please :D

RAMMSTEIN

Following the theme of previous years

Friday:- Bullet for my valentine
Saturday:- Rammstein
Sunday:- IRON MAIDEN

Now we all know Bullet are not the best choice, but lets be realistic, the organisers have to have some to keep the kids happy – so all I can say brace yourself and get horribly drunk so you dont remember the Friday night.

OOOOHHH, I wonder if its Rob Zombie!!!! that would be too fucking cool man!

Itll be Bon jovi

wade666

i have a feeling it could be rob zombie! then hopefully they will add maiden and metallica! i can hope!

Linkin Park

Andy always wears a cowboy hat… that means nothing.
And Beez, 2008 had loads of bands way better than KISS.

Enough with Metallica already!
We’ve had them over here, playing festivals or own shows, for years, it’s tiem for someone different!

I’m all for Rob Zombie playing, but since reunions are hot at the moment, maybe White Zombie are a possibility?…

Moshpitmum

If it doesn’t begin with an “R” and end in “ammstein”, they can piss away off (unless its ZZ Top again – yowza).

metalbeast

Slipknot,Machine Head,Lamb of God,Sylosis

sepultura with the cavaleras please!

SLAYER – anyone?
new album?
loadsa hype about the big 3, and megadeath touring!
I’d put my money on them!
also, Rammstein and Aerosmith would be a great headlining set!

I’m convinced Soundgarden are going to play some reunion shows in the near future so i’m hoping they will fill one of the headline slots.

Michael

I’ll agree with the above. Gotta be Bon Jovi. Won’t be Skynyrd, they’re not big enough to headline at all. As much as I love them. But with the “cowboy hats” hint it probably is Bon Jovi. Time to start saving up!

Robertorock

Bon Jovi would be a good sing along after very many pints…

Bon Jovi.
Rammstein.
Plus someone reforming?
System of a Down?
Pantera?
Soundgarden?

Megasam

Its only (cowboy) hats because copping always wears one. It may not be related to the band ppl.

Russell

My guess is Soundgarden or Rammstein

But if it was Led Zeppelin I would run down my street naked screaming “WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

krasherr

van halen/bon jovi – sunday
ac/dc – i reckon they’re on a for a festival tour
iron maiden – although hopefully not so they can go for a proper tour again

theoutlawtorn

In an ideal world:

Friday – Soundgarden
Saturday – AC/DC
Sunday – Metallica

It’s gonna be Bon Jovi, but would love to see Metallica and Rammstein headlining too

Eddie Maiden

J, please, if your going to insult Megadeth at least spell their name right.
And a Big 4 Stage and bands like Testament, Sylosis etc would be cool.

THE GINGER ONE

Lamb of God???? anyone???

thank fuck it isn’t that joke of a performer Kid Rock

I’m thinking more Skynird than Pantera or Bon Jovi.
Maybe Garth Brooks?

Job for a Cowboy? Haha, not headliners yet me thinks. I’ve seen Metallica headline at Sonisphere, not that I wouldn’t like to see them again. Hope it’s a band such as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, AC/DC, Soundgarden, Iron Maiden, Lamb of God, Van Halen. and I’m sorry, but I pray to god it’s not Aerosmith, I detest them.

Azalama

i hope Lamb of God headline this year. was gutted last year when they weren’t on the bill.

slipknot again, PLEASE!!!!! :D

im sensing a System of a Down reunion….

I seriosuly doubt the ‘Knot will headline again, at least not a second year in a row.
I mean apart from Ozzfest, how many festivals do you know that have headliners from the year directly before headlining again the following year?
Just trying to be logical.
It honestly wouldn’t surpirse me if Bullet headlined a day at Donny, there’s usually at least one modern day band headlining, plus one or two ‘classic’ or less recent bands headlining.

im confused, why it is taking so long for my comment to get moderated…
#incase it was just that first one, ill say what i said in the 1st place.

im sensing a System of a Down reunion

please no metallica again.

Cradle of Filth, Megadeth, Korn
METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!

I think it’s Rob Zombie. Think about it. “Keep your (cowboy) hats on.” Rob is the COWBOY from hell. AND he’s making a comeback. ;) So yeah.

Mark Pritchard

Metallica or Iron Maiden Please Please Please Please !

COME ON RAMMSTEIN!!!

Well Kim, Ben and Chris form Soundgarden all recently showed up to an awards ceremony or something together recently, where Matt already was with Pearl Jam, Plus Pearl Jam said they wouldnt be back for a long time and Cornell’s been routing for a reunion for years. I think them.

Mark Pritchard

By the way the Pantera rumour is them with Zakk Wlydde as he is a friend of the bad and was close friends with Dimebag.

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE PLEEEEASE. And Terror, they’re pretty huge in my opinion

Pantera would be awesome. Cant See it happening though. me thinks Rob Zombie:) White Zombie Reunion would be killer too doah

JACKKKK

IT COULD BE FUCKING U2 BONO WHERES A FUCKING COWBOY HAT

Ppl it really is Bon Jovi, on a steel horse i ride i’m wanted, dead or alive. Cr wait to belt out Livin on a prayer agen! :)

CountYourBlessings

I’d love to see Maiden there at 2010, they could probably headline with Bullet or Rammstein.

Avenged Sevenfold should be there too.

Yeah ok connor, im pretty sure that pantera were the cowboys from hell, but i hope they do a special pantera guest guitist thing and have like zakk wilde and kerry king etc. And the cowboy hat thing well im hoping its david hasslehoff

Why bloody Ramsteiin? They are shit ! ! !they are not a headliner band ! ! ! Pantera reforming yh ook but no Dimebag y do it!?! Down again ! ! !
You need a band like Hatebreed ! ! ! Or parkway drive ! ! !

SYSTEM FOR FUCK SAKE!
SYSTEM OF A DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!
WHY WONT YOU HAVE SEX WITH ME?!

Gordon Brown

Job for a Cowboy.

AC/DC METALICA AEROSMITH

ramstein just before metalica or something

and no matter how much i love bullet for my valentine i would be gutted if they headlined maby they could headline 2nd stage

I think we all want to see the cowboys from hell once again. I think a reunion of S.O.A.D would be great too :)

I bet it’s nickelback chad wears a cowboy hat

laythistorest

Going on new albums since past download performances i’d definately suggest lamb of god in a high place on the main stage.
personally ac/dc are my favourite band and ’cause they got soooo big on playing donnington all those years ago it’s be a great way show they’re back in action !
skynyrd i dunno didn’t alot of them die in a crash of some sort ?
but high hopes for AC/DC, Lamb of God, Rise Against and it’s be awesome if billy talent came back again

I Think That

Blink 182 May Headline ( Reunion Tour)
AC/DC May Extend The Black Ice Tour
Iron Maiden May Extend The Flight 666 Tour
Bon Jovi May Do The Circle Tour
Metallica May Extend There World Magnet Tour
Rammstein May Play
Black Sabbath May Play
Soundgarden May Play
Slayer Could Play With There New Album

But I Want RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE PLEASE!!!!!!!

Friday night – Metallica headline with big 4
Saturday night – Pantera reformed (awesome)
Sunday night – ACDC

That would make my cock tingle!

OMG please please please ask slipknot to come and i bet u they will come unless they’re bussy man download is their show they always ALWAYS bring the place down so please get tem to come! :’-(
