NONE OF THESE ACTS ARE CONFIRMED YET

 

Headliners:

Iron Maiden, why?: When i saw them on the 12th Bruce said the band would take the year off (the crowd booed) but then told the crowd about takking a few thousand fans to a muddy feild in the middle of England (ie Download to which the crowd cheered).

 

Metallica, why?: New album out and they will probably be doing another world tour.

 

Blaack Sabbath (Ronnie James Dio Lineup), why?: New Sabbath greatest hits featuring songs from this lineup, rumour has it they will headline the saturday.

 

Other Bands:

Machine Head, why?: new album comming out, they will be wanting to promote it.

Megadeth, why?: same reason as Machine Head

Slayer, why?: New album out early this year but not early enough for Download '06 might mean they come back for '07.

Trivium, why?: because for some reason they are popular in the UK and will probably want to promote their recent album "The Crusades"

 

 

anyone think of any others?

Deftones - They released an album recently

Korn - They've been out of it for a while and need something big to get them back into people's minds

Slipknot - ditto

Marilyn Manson - Rumours are that he IS actually getting his arse in gear and a new album may be available in '07.... Mind you similar rumours abounded about an album in '06.....

 

And I think I would like to see Nine Inch Nails headline one of the nights actually...

id like to see the hives play, or arnt they really heavy enough??? some of their earlier songs was classed as garage rock

I actually think they played the Kerrang! stage there one year...

i don't think deftones will, they played this year so i would of thought they'd give this year a miss.

 

Korn will want to, espically Jonathan as he missed this years event.

 

i don't think NIN would headline, if they played i rekkon they'd be just before the headlining act on the Saturday.

dante can if its worth it. if its just a gig hell not really bother but if its a radio session he sings very well

i don't think deftones will, they played this year so i would of thought they'd give this year a miss.

i don't think NIN would headline, if they played i rekkon they'd be just before the headlining act on the Saturday.

 

NIN could easily headline a night, they're a huge act in the Alt/Metal scene, every time they play London, they sell out three nights running at venues like Brixton Academy, in the States they play huge amphitheatres and arenas.... They're not really a support act....

 

I doubt Trent's massive ego would even countenance playing second fiddle to anyone... :lol:

i think slipknot will play

i think slipknot will play

 

Hope so.

me to

i don't think deftones will, they played this year so i would of thought they'd give this year a miss.

 

Korn will want to, espically Jonathan as he missed this years event.

 

 

I agree with both of these statements.

 

Plus when Deftones do European festivals they usual plan it around a European tour, but next year they're touring Europe in March & April so i'm assuming they would have moved on by the time Download starts.
