Rumours are circulating that two of the biggest rock festivals have already decided on their headliners for next summers shows.
Download festival is rumoured to have AC/DC, Metallica and Green Day.
AC/DC have said they would love to play at donnington park for what could prove to be their last ever tour. They would fit in well with the classic rock day that was such a huge success this year when Def Leppard headlined.
Metallica are ALWAYS at a UK festival, they have played every year since 2003 and last appeared at download in 2006 when they played their epic album Master of Puppets in its entirity. They are hugely popular and like AC/DC would go down a storm.
Green Day havent played a UK festival since Reading and Leeds in 2004 and with stadium dates in June, it seems very likely that they will play. Perhaps they will headline the Friday with punk rock being the theme of the main stage, other bands such as Blink 182, could also play under them.
Sonisphere Festival plan to announce their headliners before christmas and they have apparently got German metal band Rammstein and legends Iron Maiden.
Rammstein have been rumoured for festivals in the UK for a long time and were due to play Download last year before pulling out and causing a last minute booking of the offspring. However, i dont think they will draw a big crowd considering that they are a German singing band, it would alienate some people. Not a brilliant choice in my opinion.
Iron Maiden are quite simply the biggest metal band in the world. Fact.
They rarely play festivals and their announcement would cause the sunday to sell out in minutes. If this rumour is true, i predict a brilliant show.

Modern Warfare 2 Review
It’s here. The game that is going to suck up hours of millions of people’s lives and create a bigger impact in sick days than the swine flu virus. Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) is quite simply one of the best games of all time.
Developers Infinity Ward have really excelled themselves. The realism is phenomenal, no longer do the enemies shoot at you as soon as you move into their “area” they have to actually spot you and they don’t know where you are if you manage to find a safe hiding spot. SAS hero Andy Mcnabb has critically acclaimed the soldier’s movement, claiming it to be “perfect”.
MW2 has three main modes to play, Campaign, multiplayer and special ops. The special ops is a new feature implemented into the game which will keep die-hard fan’s playing to get hundred percent on the challenging missions. The campaign mode sees you playing as both a US elite ranger and a British SAS member. The plot is typically ridiculous but it moves at a lightning fast pace that keeps the player glued to the screen. There are more explosions and action pieces than every other shooter put together and they look utterly incredible.
The critically acclaimed multiplayer mode has undergone minor changes and is still as addictive as ever. Perhaps the best new feature is that if the host loses connection or quits in a strop because he is losing, the game will find the best suitable host and restart the game after a short pause. Player’s now have the ability to alter their “kill streaks.” You can now unlock streaks up to 25 kills, if you are skilled enough to reach that.
All told, this game offers it all. High adrenaline action. A gripping plot and unrivalled multiplayer brilliance. Modern Warfare 2 has impacted on the gaming world like an explosion from a harrier airstrike. It is the game of the year and probably, the greatest game ever made.
