It might be a week away before the official Radio 1 launch of The Carling Weekend but it looks as if the weekend is going to be competing well with the other festivals this summer.

The commonly known headline bands for this summer will be The Foo Fighters, Pixies and Iron Maiden.

Joining Iron Maiden it looks as if Marily Manson will be playing after several other dates this summer and a lack of them on the Download Festival bill.

Self-confirmed are The Tears who have announced their performance on their website.

As a bit of a surprise it appears that Incubus will be also joining the festival on the same day as Iron Maiden.

The official launch of the festival takes place next Monday.
