  7. frankie says:

    Machine Head, they’re heavily rumoured lately. They’re on tour with Slipknot in the States, and supporting Metallica for some of the Euro shows, and obviously Tallica and Slipknot are playing leeds, so it sounds reliable
    Anyone got any info to back it up?

  8. anonymous says:

    GET THE BLACKOUT ON HERE….. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE…..

  9. christian says:

  16. christian says:

    i will never trust ebay again
    i got two tickets in 2005 and got ripped off tickets were not sent to me and the guy did a runner with all the money letting lots of people down and i never saw my money again which was 440 quid for two tickets

    id be careful and make sure they can back the ticket up

    in the end i had to go on a last minute ticket site and pay a further 400 quid for 2 tickets…was the most expensive festival ever lol but was worth it as it was my 1st time
    been going back ever since

  17. zanna says:

    the blackout shud play :D

  18. bloodboy says:

    yay!
    took me 3 hours to get through, just to be told they had sold out, lol, i got 3 off ebay for £50 more in the end, lol
    i went crazy when i saw the headliners man, AND SLIPKNOT!!!!!! hell ye, wish machine head were playing thopugh, saw them at the black crusade, f’kin amazing man. of course, stoked that metallica and rage are playing man, cant f’kin wait :)

  19. mike danton says:

    There is a vicious rumour that on the unsigned tent/mini stage Led Zeppelin will make an apperance. Aparently its to boost people watching the unsigned acts.

  20. davelms says:

    Not sure there is a difference, they sound like the same thing to me.

  21. POPPY! says:

    what is the difference between a day pass and a day ticket? does one allow access to all stages and the other doesnt?

  22. POPPY! says:

  30. anonymous says:

  31. slash says:

    deffo more bands to be announced yet…its an awesome line up, best one this year, deffo one of the best leeds in a long time anyway.
    ive heard alot of people were struggling to get tickets, i managed to get mine as soon as they went onsale, and about 10 minutes later they were sold out. and i agree, ebay is ridiculous, ruins it when pricks like buy tickets then dont go and make a profit.
    anyone know of any other bands that may be on the bill??

  32. davelms says:

    There will be many more. There are whole stages yet to be announced. And the Radio One / NME Stage has yet to be announced other than headliners. Expect further line up announcements throughout the summer in the lead up to the festival.

  33. anonymous says:

    do u reckon these are all the bands or are there gonna be more added?

  34. danni k says:

    okey great lineup but I thought POWDERFINGER was coming to europe…… but rage will have to do for now……
