Your loss. I'll definitely be going if they are.

+1 right here. Metallica and the Foos should help get rid of the irritating crowd element a bit

That link is coming up as a "404 Not Found". Was it a reliable source??
Is this the same place that says Faith No More will be at TITP???

Yup all the picks i had were taking from that

That picture of Metallica wasn't even the current line-up, doubt it's real. Also some FNM fansite have claimed that the band have informed them that it is a hoax.

Edit: just looking on efests and they have said that the metallica rumours are false.

Yeah i read about the Metallica pic, it showed Jason and not Rob. Which is fairly daft TBH. I could see Metallica playin Marley Park or the RDS, but i doubt they would play Oxegen/TITP. As for Faith No More, I found it hard to believe, but ya never know.

Also, aren't Metallica planning a 2011 tour to rival the Pink Floyd "The Wall" tour?? This would lead me back to my point above about them headlining there own gig in Ireland.

bit of a ridiculous statement there. You wont go to a festival because of ONE band?

Yeah that's just silly. I remember 2008 when RATM were playing. The crowd around that weekend (especially on the Sunday) was amazing. There was a great atmosphere as there seemed to be more actual music fans there, that scummer-trouble makers.

The likes of Foos & Metallica would greatly help bring back this type of atmosphere.

Unfortunately there's bound to be at least one rap/hip hop artist that'll massively attract scummers :mad:

I don't mind having a couple of Hip-Hop acts.......it's like anything. If i dont like it, i wont go see it. But i must admit, i did relaly enjoy Eminem, Faithless and Dizzee Rascal this year.

But, just have a Hip-hop/R'n'B themed stage for them!!!

Nice generalisation. I'd like to see a few Hip hop artists there and I'm not a 'scummer'.

Did he say all Hip-Hop fans were scummers?
I like Hip-Hop and I'm not a scummer, but I know a lot of scummers who would go to Oxegen just to see Jay-Z, Eminem or B.o.B, all of whom I'd love to see.
I hope to God Metallica play, I don't particularly like them, I'd probably have a quick look at them, but it'd definately stop some knackers from going.

Metallica don't intend on touring much next year as they have an album to write, i wouldn't mind them headlining. Foo fighters won't attract a great atmosphere, but there music is certainly much more 'Mr and Misses Ford mondeo' which will be a much more pleasent crowd than the one the Enimen pulled. It was a shame watching Faithless and people just standing there kicking mud at eachother, waiting for insomnia.

From what i've been hearing, it's the total opposite. They are apparently planning a Huge tour next year that is supposed to rival the Pink Floyd - The Wall Tour. Nothing definate yet, but they are gonna do the usual Summer Festival circuit anyway, if that will include Oxegen is yet to be seen.

MCD or whoevers in charge could really take a page out of TITP's book by announcing a big act or 2 before the Pre-sale Xmas tickets go on sale.

There is only going to be 10 dates in the whole world of this tour. The only other gig confirmed so far is Rock in Rio.

I think people understand that not everyone who listens to Rap/Hip-hip is a scummer or just out ot cause trouble. But there is no denying, when bands like Rage, Foo fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, etc. are playing, the atmosphere is a lot more relaxed.

Nothing generalising at all about my post. I never said all hip hop fans are scum, i'm a fan myself, but guaranteed if Eminem and Jay-Z weren't on the bill last year then there would have been half the amount of skangers at oxegen.

Sonisphere UK is set to announce it's first "mind blowing headline act" at 11am today. The announcement will also proceed ticket sales which are expected to be on sale at 9am on Monday.

Sonisphere UK have confirmed they will be adopting a deposit scheme on tickets for the 3rd year running.

The headliners for the festival were expected to be announced at 6pm on Monday, but this has been pushed forward, possibly due to T In The Park rumours....we don't know! Find out at 9am and 11am
