Prodigy, sabbath, and metallica playing the whole black album doesn't do it for you?! guess your hard to please then  :grin:

I hear Ugly Kid Joe are playing!!!  :cool: :cool:

They sure are, announced so far are

Chase and Status, Biffy Clyro, Soundgarden, Tenacious D, You Me At Six, Machine Head, Trivium, Lamb of God, Anthrax, DevilDriver, Devin Townsend Project, Little Angels, Ugly Kid Joe and August Burns Red

looks a pretty good lineup to me :P

yeah the download facebook page has loads of people complaining about non rock bands at a rock festival, I'll probably just go to another stage when there playing but I don't think I'd like to be in their shoes when all the bottles start flying and they get booed off :P

To be honest, I'm not sure If I can go to another festival again after the expectation is have after the download where ACDC brought there own stage, Rage against the machine absolutely blew the place appart (having to stop a fair few times due to crowd surges) and Aerosmith who were amaizing (i wasnt even a fan)  :smiley:

10th :huh: black album was out in the early 90's

I saw Metallica at download in 03 when they walk on stage in the small tent completely unannounced, just happened to be in the right place at the right time :cool:

And rage at reading 08 was awesome

20th sorry, yeah 2002 doesn't sound right :P the 10th anniversary is of the download festival :) so they are playing the full black album for the 20th anniversary (though technically its 21) and to honour 10 years of download
