Unless I'm looking at the wrong thing, it says that they aren't decided yet, and only has the headliners in thier slots.

Might be different in the e-mail?

Hayseed Dixie? Turisas? Awesome.

[Liam]

Cheers Keith.

So since I'm not sure exactly what bands you really like out of the line ups, whats the problem with Friday? I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the stuff on it, but I guess Megadeth down so low is a bit of a fucking waste.

I like the look of the Sunday Main personally. Especially if timing wise, you could get to avoid Evanescence and catch some Dream Theater.

[K]

Yeah, I suppose I overreacted a bit.. but Megadeth down so low is an abomination. (See what I did there).

I would have prefered something like

My Chem (Well.. I wouldn't prefer this.. but they're headlining, and thats not going to change)

Megadeth

Velvet Revolver

Dragonforce

Buckcherry

Wolfmother

Hinder

Just some general switching up..

although ideally I would have stuck Buckcherry in one of the more intimate stages.

[Liam]

I'm really surprised that Wolfmother are so high up the stage.

[Bloodbath]

Who the fuck are Wolfmother and how many cocks did they suck to get higher on the bill than Megadeth?!

[MalaCloudy Black]

Rubbish little band of the month type band. Have a few popular songs, aren't really worth much imo.

[Cactus Drags]

I despise Wolfmother. But Reuben mainstaging and Billy Talent playing again is all kinds of excellence.

You guys realize.. there's plenty more bands to be announced, meaning that bands that seem 'so high' may well drop down a place or two. There's usually 9-10 bands on the main stage.

But.. HARDCORE SUPERSTAR. Definately catching them.

[K]

Oh of course, but it's unlikely that bands are going to move *Up*. I mean, It's not so much Wolfmother being high up that dissapoints me.. it's Megadeth being low.

[Farmer Reil]

Sunday's Stage 2 lineup is the most delightfully random thing I've seen for a while ¬_¬

Almost as random as going from Bowling for Soup right into Machine Head on Saturday.

[ZJ Penn]

I'd like to have seen Wolfmother much further down. Not because I dislike them, but because they've got a few popular catchy songs that can get people going on the way to a great set. I definitly wouldn't have Velvet Revolver that high either, unless it's to warm down the crowd before MCR. (Not a big fan of either to be honest). Actually looking at Fridays main stage, I'm not that hot on any of it. Saturday and maybe Sunday are looking like my points of interest.

As others have said, there's still some to be announced, maybe enough to knock Dragonforce off of the bill.

[Farmer Reil]

But then they won't sell any tickets.

I mean, who the fuck are Iron Maiden?

[Hunter Hearst Hetfield]

I Can't wait to see Hardcore Superstar.

I loved we don't celebrate Sunday's

[Cactus Drags]

That's the only song of theirs I've heard. I like it though. They seem a bit of a joke band though :/

[Summers]

They're not. That album is really good, the others not so much, but the latest is amazing.

EWB Rock Out at Hardcore Superstar plz.

[Cactus Drags]

Fair enough.

By the way, if anyone's after a tent, Halfords have a good offer on. £40 for a 2 man tent (only going to comfortably sleep one though), 2 sleeping bags, 2 mat things and a camplight. And it's incredibly easy to put up. I've not tried taking it down though (my Dad did mine when I went back to Uni).
