Music Festival Headliners?

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.
