They had a reunion last year, this'll be their first time playing the UK in however many years that's why it's a big deal. Apparently.

I can't believe the amount of young 'uns saying they've never heard of Coal Chamber - makes me feel so old!

You know the place will go mad when they play 'Loco' though :pac:

I'd prefer Devildriver myself, but they're playing Bloodstock so you can't have all

Snap! Had my fellow Downloader over for a cup of tea last night. We listened to them and were both a bit at the addition.

More announcements to come sure

Reiketsu

There's loads more bands to come, law of averages would dictate most people will be pleased in the end :P.

I haven't even thought about flights yet. I'm doing the deposit scheme for a 5 day camping ticket. Have my final exam that Wednesday so it'll probably be the Thursday before I head over. Think ill fly from Derry to Birmingham and get the train to Derby....and send my friends ahead with the tent :P

I second this but in fairness they are prob better off would go see them for the laugh if nothing better was on, At one stage Sharon Osbourne used to be their manager and Ozzy even featured on this horrendous cover song...

I agree. I'll go see them for old time's sake . Excited though all the same, nice to have the chance to see them.

Happy about that. It makes the Saturday main stage awfully tasty and means the 3rd and 4th from top spots on the Friday are still free

Next announcement is mid January.

Yeah they also toured the second album here too when they attempted Download Ireland that was 6 years ago though.

Just Like Heaven

Looking like Scorpions have leaked. Lot of people getting excited

Will know in a week or so anyway.

I think they said its on their wishlist for this year, didnt seem much of a confirmation. Although I do think itll happen.

Wasn't trying to be smart Sarnie, just letting you know they played around Ireland also. Possibly Cork too. Pity more don't do it.
