Download 2012 - Lineup

tlrBeta · 11 Nov 2011 at 12:03

Well, I didn't see anyone else posting this so I thought why not

Firstly, Metallica confirmed and possibly after their worst album / collaboration ever, they are playing The Black Album. Probably a wise choice to keep people interested.

Anyone going? I am a Metallica fan, I saw them at Sonisphere last year and had already decided Download would be my choice this year, so I guess I will be seeing them again

Great news! ill be there.

Seen Metallica more times than i can remember since the 80's, they are a great live band but are a shadow of themselves in their heyday...James' voice is

Might as well make it 22nd time at the 10th Download anniversary

Went to the 1st in the dim and distant past...

I'm going, already bought my RIP tickets! Can't wait!

So Sabbath and Metallica are headlining, who thinking Trivium or BFMV or MCR will be drafted in just to widen the spectrum away from metal heads

Yeah we said that about Leeds Festival 2011, but they managed to headline.

They won't get Iron Maiden, when they've already got Metallica and Sabbath, they need to get someone like the Foo Fighters, Feeder, Kasabian or Biffy Clyro to appeal to everyone instead of just making it attrictive to metal heads

I will be extremely disappointed if it's Biffy.

In my opinion they are not big enough for this event, the same stands for when they played Sonisphere on the Saturday last year (which I attended)

Jay794 · 16 Nov 2011 at 09:34

I saw them at Leeds and they were very heavy compared to their albums

J1nxy · 17 Nov 2011 at 18:26

Prodigy just confirmed for Friday!! looks like Download this year rather than sonisphere

Mucky_Pup · 17 Nov 2011 at 18:29

I'll probabley be going again.

Hotel booked, tickets tomorrow morning
