Download Festival 2013

charlietheminxx

Getting underway early this year....

The first headliner is announced at 6 this evening - but it's been leaked.

RAMMSTEIN!

Mushy

Will be immense if its them...or Maiden. Get deftones and Clutch and I'll be happy. Oh and Pearl Jam.

charlietheminxx

Maiden are heavily rumoured too....It's a bit Sonisphere 2010 if it happens, but that was epic so I'm not complaining

Furious-Red

Mushy

Lol thanks rammstein.

Just Like Heaven

Apparently Rammstein are headlining the Sunday?

Anyho, I'll be there next June.

Furious-Red

Dont rule Rammstein out yet

Download Festival

Ahh no I'd say we can rule them out. Everybody knows Download only has one headliner each year :rolleyes:

D.Q

****ing hell, im off to America at the start of June this year, pity. If rammstein get announced i'll go mad.

Download 2012 was all kinds of good.

This is a savage start. And yeah, that is a lot of festivals to headline :eek:

lord lucan

Maiden & Rammstein,cracking start to next years line-up. The 2 headliners alone make me consider Donnington for next year.

The guy who runs Download FM has allegedly hinted on Twitter that the third headliner will be FF GD or PJ.

So Foo Fighters I would say are out, I think they're on a break from touring right now.

My money is on Green Day or Pearl Jam, though I have heard Slipknot rumoured elsewhere.

Furious-Red

Sweden Rock announce more acts (Rush already announced)

Status Quo
Krokus
Demon
Amaranthe
Axxis
Witchcraft
Huntress

Yea Foo's are ruled out due to finishing touring till the next record , Green Day would'nt really suit DL so Probably TITP and Reading/Leeds (although with them doing the stadium show it might rule them out of Reading/Leeds) .Yea out of all of them PJ are the best bet hopeully it will mean a dublin show

Hopefully they'll be announced as headliners for Rock Am Ring as well soon, since I'm planning a trip there next year.

Very strong start from Download though. I wonder if Sonisphere is going to try and match that or if there will even be one in England next year.

I'm hoping there will be, it was always a great festival and I like the way Soni is planned out in comparison Download e.g. distance between campsite and arena, the fact that attractions are part of the arena rather than a separate village, the way they run the bands in flip-flop format.

Plenty of headliners Soni could get though, just off the top of my head the likes of SOAD, Rush (touring lots next year, would go down well with the older crowd), RATM, Pearl Jam (if they don't do Download), Slipknot (might be a bit soon again though).... the list could go on.

I would like if they at least confirmed whether or not they intend for it to go ahead though.

Yeah, I was just looking at some of their tour dates afterwards and it looks like it would be very difficult to try and fit in both RAR and RIP, but I can always hope.

Maybe there might even be another Rammstein here before Download, or even a Maiden date.

Catari Jaguar

Deftones have an album coming out, and Stone Sour & Down are touring in winter so maybe them? Hopefully! Pearl Jam would be great. I'll be going no matter who's playing because RIP is just so fekn great

Just Like Heaven

Would be surprised if Sonisphere didn't go ahead this year, the 2010 and 2011 festivals were really successful.

Sarnie

Fingers crossed for Slipknot as the third headliner. It is a bit early to be getting excited about Download, but I cannot wait!!!

I hope Soni goes ahead this year. Only been there once, had a brilliant time. I do think the layout is a better than Download. I'd say they will announce some amazing acts to try and make up for cancelling last year.

If anyone here's any rumours, I want to know!!

seachto7

Soundgarden?

Mushy

Doubt they'd repeat.

So that's PJ confirmed, will go for Maiden, tempted by Rammstein and other half may want to see PJ so will have to see what the she wants to do.

Hey guys,

I know this might seems a silly question but would this be worth going to? I'm asking because this would be my first festival and I'm really tempted to go because of the headliners.
