Download was officially launched last night, with a raft of names revealed as playing the festival.

The biggest news is that the festival is to be expanded to three days; starting on Friday 10th June and finishing on Sunday 12th. Previously the festival has been a two-day weekend affair.

The Friday will be some sort of 'indie' day with Feeder headlining and support from Garbage, The Prodigy, Billy Idol and Weezer.

Saturday is set to be a mini-Ozzfest day, with Sabbath, Velvet Revolver and HIM confirmed, whilst Sunday will be all about the metal, with System Of A Down, Slipknot and Slayer plying their bloody wares.

Tickets are on sale now from the usual sources, expect to shell out £112 or so for the privilege. Additionally, the Download official site, www.downloadfestival.co.uk has a myriad of other ticketing options that include hotels and all in one tent-included camping packages.

Billy Idol could be special.
After Weezer too.
But not sure it has that three day appeal.

On a more anal note, you've spelt privilege wrong.

Billy Idol is a misundertood genius, a scrawny, chipped nail varnish finger raised at all that is twee and tasteful.

Sabbath are boss, too. The only dino band that can still hack it.

What about AC/DC?

Mmm I 'spose...but AC/DC never split up and have loads of non-original members, Sabbath is fat old men reforming to make money, which is usually crap, but in their case rocks like the big swinging dick of Satan.

How can Feeder headline above Weezer?

It's a shame the drummer didn't shoot the other two eegits first before he killed himself.

Harsh, but true.

Sorry.

Feeder haven't sold more records than any of those bands - Prodigy, Garbage or Weezer.

Good odds then, on Feeder to be Download 2005's 'Linkin Park'. Taste those plastic bottles!

i think they shouldve kept download as a 2day "heavy" festival and let reading/leeds/v etc cater for the more "indie" inclined

also, jesus_quintana ...fuck off saying stuff like that about feeder and their drummer

The peroxided king of perv-rock will kick Weezer and Feeder's dreary half-arsed mockrock schtik back into the collegiate gutter where it belongs.

i wonder if theres anyway I can get in and out of there (see weezer) and not be exposed to any of the other bands or the fools who would want to see them.

I think this one is normally the second worst festival after V. This year is a minor improvement with the "indie" day but it still looks shite.

The most recent Prodigy album bombed. Feeder have almost certaintly sold more records *here* that Garbage or Weezer, at least, again, in recent years.

Ozzy is a uh-wuuh-wuuh-wuh-SHAROOOON!-uh-wu-wuh-wanker, and should stay in the U.S. with all that Ozzfest bollocks. Having Sabbath play this year gives MegaGloboOsbourne Corp. the licence to ruin this festival for many years to come.

Donington is all about Maiden, and Maiden aren't playing.

=> Load of gash.

Feeder are worse, fair enough. But Weezer aren't much cop either ('cept for Buddy Holly and Hashpipe, oh and Surf Wax America, that was alright...Ok, they've got a few good songs, but a lot of their stuff's dross...matter of opinion...matter of opinion, I know, but I'm right and you're all wrong.

Billy f*ckin' Idol, man!

They don't have any dudes who didn't play on Back in Black though. And the singer died! And the bassist was just a bassist and he was booted out after the second record I think. So a fairly long time ago.

Mike...what..the hell? Seriously. Don't make me doubt everything I respect about you at this point...'Pinkerton' rocks. Just plain rocks.

Feeder: Were once mildly enjoyable, are now dad-rock.
Weezer: Are still pop-rockin' genius.

jesus mike. Pinkerton is absolute genius. New album should be interesting, saying they're goin back to the pinkerton sound. that usually spells cack, but fingers crossed eh?

yeah, i'll continue the mike-bashing. Pinkerton is genius. the sound is so much darker to the first album, so fucking random. Weezer are one of my favourite bands. ever. and at last i will see them.
