Download Festival 2010: Who Could Headline?


Download Festival 2010: Who Could Headline?

download_90It’s festival season so we’re getting our speculation-o-meter out and giving you the list of bands we reckon could headline next year’s Download festival. Have we missed anyone out? Anyone who you’d like to see headline? Anyone on this list you really, REALLY wouldn’t want to see headline? Let us know in the comments section!

Rammstein
Well, they’re rumoured every year, aren’t they? They’ve got a kick-ass new album coming out, they’ve already grabbed your attention with THAT tits and jizz covered video and they’ve got a stage-show big enough to fill any venue. Donington wouldn’t know what had hit it.

AC/DC
Speaking of rumoured every year, Acca Dacca are extending their tour. What price an appearance at Castle Donington?

Bullet For My Valentine
They’re returning next year and they are, by all intents and purposes, massive. The down-side? They ‘split opinions’ to say the least and it could be a repeat of the My Chemical Romance incident that’s best left unmentioned.

My Chemical Romance
Did we not just tell you to never mention them at Download ever again?! Fuck. Off.

The Big Four
You read it here first. We would quite literally jizz ourselves if this was to happen and Download could well be the stage for this to come to fruition. Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax on the same night. Yes, yes, yes, YES, YES!!!!!!

Iron Maiden
Is an album due next Summer? Check. Would they be able to pack Donington Park from front to back? Check. Would we absolutely fucking love it? You bet your ass, we would!

Green Day
They’ve sold a squillion, trillion, gazillion albums. The Offspring have done it and they’re infinitely better than them. We’re just saying it could happen! Don’t shoot the messenger!

Red Hot Chili Peppers
See above.

Ozzy Osbourne
He’s due one final hurrah, could he enjoy a final UK show at Donington? There has to be touring plans as he’s put together a touring line-up. Would he be able to put on a show that would fill Download?

Soundgarden
On the list of ‘likely reunions for 2010’, this is top by a clear mile. We’d prefer Sepultura but this would rule all the same. Well, as long as Chris Cornell didn’t rock up in a Fubu tracksuit and a doo-rag around his bonce, boyee.

Foo Fighters
Grohl and his warriors will have had their ‘Greatest Hits’ album out for a while and there’s a real chance that they could bring that show to Download.

Bon Jovi
It’d rule. If you watched Def Leppard this year, you’ll know that all-out, throat-shredding rock anthems are the perfect way to end a Download weekend. Bon Jovi could do this better than just about anyone.

Van Halen
If the price is right, it’d be a hell of a night. The problem being that the price would be…ONE MILLION DOLLARS! (and quite a substantial bit more, we would wager).

Aerosmith
If we were the betting types at Metal Hammer, we’d have a cheeky punt on this one.
