Download 2009!!

[Rollin]

Motley Crue,Whitesnake,Marilyn Manson,Def Leppard and The Prodigy.

ACDC as a late addition?

Looks good so far

[minimatt1967]

God line up except for 'Def Leppard' I detest that band! Download couldn't come on a worse weekend, Le Mans weekend my Birthday and my son is due all on the same weekend

[Gompo]

ZZ Top are there too.

For an 80's Rock fan the lineup is looking pretty good.

Not really my scene although there are a few bands I'd still be interested in seeing. If I go to any proper festival this year it will probably be Bloodstock though.

[snowy slopes]

Well, take out marilyn manson, and its a half decent line up

[Fabric 2.2]

Hopefully they'll adjust their layout to avoid a 2.5 mile walk to the stage from the camping area this year.

Looks like it's turned into "Monsters of Rock" again. I'm not sure whether this was intentional or because they couldn't get any decent contemporary headliners. I'd be interested in seeing ZZ Top again, as I last saw them at Donington in 1985. The rest of the big names are like a who's who of ageing hair metallers, so on balance I won't be going this year. I'm much more likely to go to Sonisphere at Knebworth.

Sonisphere is looking quite tempting.. Metallica, Mastodon, Machine Head and possibly Nine Inch Nails. Alice in Chains might be interesting, although without Layne would be odd.

WHAT WHAT WHAT !?!?!?!

[andy-xr]

Like the look of this line up, I'll be there

[gbbird]

Faith No More are headlining apparently...

Now that would be worth seeing

[andy-xr]

Last time I saw them they were supporting GnR in Manchester.

Feck, that was 1992!

Yep, the one that was postponed if I remember rightly. Soundgarden, Faith no More then GnR

[ratbane]

FNM. Saw them a few times in early '90s. Cardiff Uni, Bristol Hippo, Brixton Academy with L7 (guy had his throat slashed in the bogs!).

THE best live band I've ever seen!

Is Download being held somewhere else this year? I'd imagine it would be hard to hold it at Donington with all those diggers around?

No, still at Donington. I expect the urine from 100,000 drunken fans helps to soften the ground!
