"I'd love to get them [Van Halen], but who knows when? Maybe one year we can get them to come over and it'll happen, I live in hope," he said. "You can't rule any bands at that level out: Led Zeppelin, the original lineup of Guns N' Roses, I'd love to get them, hopefully it'll happen one day."
Copping also confirmed that the negotiation with some of the top acts for Download 2014 are well under way, without revealing specific names. "I'm at the tail end of my negotiations with the headliners," he said.
Finally, when asked on whether Paramore and Avenged Sevenfold are what he considers bill topping material, the organizer responded: "There are no rules in regard to headliners, I look at who's out there, who's selling tickets, who can put on a good show, you can't rule anyone out."
