    Certainly not an ideal location for PJ but Iron Maiden and Rammstein as the other headliners would seal the deal for us for sure!! I can see Maiden being true as they are on the Maiden England tour in the US just now and widely tipped for festivals and winter arena gigs next year... :? Never been to Download before but there's a first time for everything! ;)
    Like a book among the many on a shelf...

    Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
    Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12

    If true, the festivals continue.
    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Remind me again how PJ playing ANY show would be "awful" :?

    That aside a show in the UK (speaking personally) would be great and I think in particular they would be great at Download (or even better Glastonbury, but that's another topic).

    Also gigs at Hyde Park are becoming a bit of joke what with strictly enforced curfews and volume constraints.

    Hyde Park was the one show that I have attended that really doesn't count. I was down the front from the gates opening and was the last of the early arrivers to say "fuck this I'm off" - over 30 of the people at least there early went over the barrier or just retreated because of the drunken mob that rushed to the front and ruined it. Expect the same mob at Download. I have travelled the world to see this band but would never ever go to Download to see them.

    Sorry to hear about your experience at Hyde Park. I heard that a lot of the "PJ family" down the front that day had a bad time with some drunken idiots. Your post makes sense now!

    It's not a given that this would be repeated at Download though. I went to Sonisphere last year (a very "Metal" crowd) and had a brilliant time. Everyone I saw over that weekend was there to watch great music and have a good time.

    Indoor headline shows still win hands down for me (O2 in London again please!) - but a couple of festival slots would also be fine.

    Well Iron Maiden have been officially announced as the first headliner tonight, so there would appear to be some legs on this rumour! Second announcement is coming tomorrow night, not sure if it'll be another headliner but it'd make sense. I hope that poster with the line up is fake as the supporting bands are awful. Going on previous years i think it likely is fake as there's always fake posters doing the rounds.

    It'll happen. Just like this rumor that has been spreading many weeks ago.

    Where ever there's a festival shindig happening, especially in Europe, Pearl Jam will be there!!!

    I really hope they don't play Download, they really wouldn't fit in with the kind of bands that are usually there. I know they played after Slayer and Bullet For My Valentine at Reading in 06 but a metal festival would be weird for them.

    I was at Hyde Park & i agree totally that some of the crowd there carried like right idiots from charging to front with no care for anyone else to throwing full bottles(luckily plastic) of beer or whatever they put in it. Meanwhile Ed is asking us all to look after each other & take two steps back. It only takes a few people to go down & set off a chain reaction & we all know how that can end up!! Over outdoor shows & just want to see their own shows indoors from now on.

    Indeed it has, hence my post in this thread. I've not seen them mentioned for Sonisphere festival though as per the link you posted. That defo seems a fake though as Download and Sonisphere are two different festivals and Iron Maiden have been confirmed for Download and since the festivals are around the same time I can't see them playing both.

    Rammstein have been officially confirmed as the 2nd headliner, so that's 2 out of the 3 rumoured headliners confirmed! It's looking pretty good for PJ to be the 3rd!! I guess it's possible as the new album should be out by then?!

    would rather PJ didn't play download but if they do then at least it would mean other euro dates
