I have seen Metallica headline Download in 2004, and I have to assure everyone that they were an amazing headlining act- I definitely believe that they will surpass the flat performances of both Razorlight and RHCP that we had to endure last year. RATM are an incendiary live band and I think 60,000 people singing "Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me" at the end of 'Killing in the Name of' will be the defining moment of the festival season. from the organizers perspective, Killers have to be on the bill to attract a wider audience. But Kings of Leon should be the other headliner in the place of The Killers, especially after last years performance- one of the best live performances i've ever seen.My only concern, looking at the position of bands on the billing, that there will be clashes between some of the best bands. RATM, Babyshambles and These New Puritans, all bands I would like to see play at Reading, look as if they will be onstage all at once.
