MCR are rubbish and should no way be headlining.  They got a royal bottling at Reading the other year - and deserved too.  I know everyone has a right to like the music they like, and I can appreciate MCR have fans - but giving them a headline slot just smacks of the organisers missing out on the some of the many and better bands that will be playing the Euro festival circuit this year (aerosmith for example.)

VR though - YEAH!  I will be there for that! : ok:

i'm gonna be there? :beer: Was very happy when i saw the Download Ad in college and VR were on it ^.^ since i'd already bought my ticket and was hopeing that some good bands would be playing.

Can't wait.

MCR headling is ridiculas, and linkin park shouldnt be either.

My ideal headliners:
Metallica, Megadeth and Iron Maiden.
Would of been amazing....or aerosmith.

"Disposable BBQ?s are allowed in the campsite only, however, the organiser reserves the right to confiscate any disposable BBQ?s used irresponsibly."

does that mean that you can't take those gas stove things for camping?

Or is it only refering to dsifferent types of BBQ, meaning you cant bring actual BBQ's with you

ahahahaha

The line-up in itself is ok, the headliners OTOH...
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and LINKIN PARK should never be above the likes of VELVET REVOLVER, SLAYER, STONE SOUR, MARILYN MANSON, MEGADETH, M?TLEY CR?E or DREAM THEATER. And I don't even like all of them :)
