Nothing there for me either I'm afraid. I wouldn't mind seeing Judas Priest if I had to. But I wouldn't go out of my way to see them tbh.
Why don't they just rename it to 'Emo'load. I thought they learnt their lesson last year when Chemical Romance got bombared almost to death.

It doesn't look good does it. But I suppose that's just a reflection of the state of current metal...or my age. I am so glad I grew up when I did - 1984 was a peach for Monsters of Rock and it was still going good up to the early 90s. Anyway, the only thing that would get me to Donington would be AC/DC [there is a persistant rumour that it could happen this year] 'cos my son's never seen them and I doubt they'll do a full UK tour ever again.

Looks like we're getting an 80's revival night with Kiss, Judas priest and motorhead on the same bill, are they playing the same day???
Have to say it's not looking good, i think Rock am ring would be a better bet at this rate.

I mean I love Priest, they were ace live, but that was nearly twenty years ago!  As for Kiss............... 
At least Motorhead have still got it, as Lemmy is pretty ageless. I mean who can tell whether his voice is shot or not? Even more, who'd have the balls to tell him?

Think I might go this year to see Kiss and in the vague hope that AC/DC will be the special guests.

Huge rock / metal fan me, but here's my take on it;
Headliners
The Offspring - Meh, take em or leave em - not what I'd class as a headline act mind...
Kiss - Top Draw! Thats what I'm talking about!!!!
Lostprophets - See Offspring comment
Others
HIM - errr, just no.....
Motorhead - Should be headlining, not playing second fiddle!
Judas Priest - Great band in their day, bit old hat now IMO
Rise Against - Who?
