The first acts for download 2010 have been announced. The festival will take place 11th-13th June. Specifics for what day each band will play havn't been announced yet but I'll update this list accordingly as more information and bands are announced. Headliners: AC/DC (friday) Rage Against The Machine (saturday) Aerosmith (sunday) Full lineup here
AC/DC is the only band I'd really like to see in that list, and I'd have to be heavily drunk to get maximum enjoyment out of that.
my mate is mad keen on most of those bands. so it almost ideal for him. for me though.. I'm not that fussed
The artist choice is somewhat eclectic. A couple make sense performing together but it's mostly a wtf?
I like all of those bands except for Volbeat who i have never heard of. Of course it doesn't compare to Sonisphere. There's no way to get bigger than the Big Four.
Wow. Normally Download has some amazing lineups, but so far this is looking pretty crap, in my opinion.
The lineup isn't very relevant. You'd think they'd get some newer bands that people haven't seen two trillion times before. The only new band is a supergroup...
Rage Against The Machine and Aerosmith confirmed as other headliners. 5 more bands to be announced a little bit later. EDIT: Those 5 bands have been announced as 30 Seconds To Mars, Lamb Of God, Stone Sour, Billy Idol and Five Finger Death Punch.
