Download festival 2006

[Swafe]

It will be

[Knoxville]

Tommorow's Kerrang confirms Gun's n Roses as a headliner unless i'm extremely mistaken.

[Spud1]

you may be right I don't know, but i'll believe it when i see it in june Still doubt it can happen..aerosmith are more likely imho

[Knoxville]

I am right I've seen the cover They're booked to play a couple of other big festivals aswell (Rock in Rio and one in austria) It'll be interesting to see if Axl actually makes it out onto the stage tbh he was notorious for being a primadonna back in the day and he can't have gotten much better over the years.

[Spud1]

yup your right i've managed to confirm it...I don't think axel will show but who knows maybe the restraining order doesnt apply in the uk(?) or he's turned over a new leaf

edit and now its on the official website too

[Spud1]

and it just gets better and better lol, guess who confirmed now


TOOL

[Knoxville]

they've been tbc for a while now, thought they'd do reading instead tbh, should be cool though, whaddya reckon they big enough to headline the friday?

[Spud1]

Nah download is a more likely place for tool I think, not poppy enough for reading/leeds.

I think they will headline friday yeah, although can't be 100% certain. If not headlining then I think they will be pretty close to the top of the bill..

that said AC/DC are looking more and more likely to play too, after Axl was quoted as having said he's looking forward to playing with AC/DC and Metallica...Normally I wouldn't believe such a thing, but after GnR confirming i'm ready to believe anything lol

[nvening]

Shall i go or not, hmmmmmmmmm, weekend or day, hmmmmmmmmmm

[Knoxville]

I think motley crue may well be playing.....

[luap.h]

[vincent]

Cristina Scabbia [drool]

Yes- Guns n Roses are confirmed its up on the download site
their frontlining Sunday -While Metallica Frontline Saturday

wish i coudl go but- i'd rather save up for hol to florida cos ive never been to the US and its gonna be fun goin with me best mates

[TiMeZeRo]

\m/ o yes order ticket a few mins ago Wooooooooooooooooooooooo \m/ ROCK ON

btw aint it HEADlining not FRONTlinin

[hitman67]

If Axl shows then that will be the show of the century, no one can rock like Guns N Roses did, and I doubt it'll happen, but hey, we can all dream of GnR re-united.

[Knoxville]
