Nice to Michu Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) I hope Rise Against aint a second stage headliner. Edited November 28, 2017 by Swansea93 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericode Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 As good as the announcement is, I'm more than likely doing Reading instead, so I'm annoyed a few of them probably won't be there now. But yeah, that's a very good start for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justanothername Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) Meh. Kind of impartial. Quite a few of bands I'd see but none I'd go out of my way to see though reckon it'll be enough for my mates to consider going so I guess that also means that there is enough for me to consider going Out of those I'd probably see Parkway, Rise Against, Alexisonfire, Neck Deep, The Hives and WSTR. I might also see Babymetal, BFMV and Mayday depending on what my mates do Though where the hell are Converge Edited November 28, 2017 by justanothername Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc0v Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Loads of good fun bands but the only one that really excites me is Parkway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reece1617 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 I think that's a very solid announcement. I assume that means we're still yet to hear who the 3rd main stage sub is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the announcement. Will have to listen to Alexisonfire as I don't think I've ever listened to them somehow. Everyone seems to be raving about them the most. Surprised at the lack of Babymeatl reaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised at the lack of Babymeatl reaction. Think a lot of people expected Babymetal's return, but Alexisonfire have come out of nowhere as they haven't toured much at all over here since their reunion (just Reading and Leeds two years ago now) so it's a pretty sweet booking. Wonder if this means there's new material coming. Edited November 28, 2017 by FloorFiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1000 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Still seem to be targeting the youngens. Hardly anything for the oldies there minus the headliners. Anyone know what the twitter reactions like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"This is absolute fucking shite not even joking steaming shite" "Here we go, one ok band and a shit load of filler. Please please please go back to just having 6 or 7 decent bands on one day than 200 plus bands most of which are shite over 3 days" "Christ not Babymetal! Would rather watch Boris Johnson playing spoons than watch them" It has actually been largely positive tho.

Been going since 2011 and there hasn't been a single year without someone saying "Download is finished", "Off to Bloodstock then", and "Give us some REAL bands". You could have nothing but classic/death metal bands and you'd more or less get the same comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got Ozzy and GnR to headline but no other legacy acts ATM. I'm hoping it'll change but right now it looks like they got those to only because "that's what all the other festivals are doing". 10 minutes ago, dannymichaels said: Been going since 2011 and there hasn't been a single year without someone saying "Download is finished", "Off to Bloodstock then", and "Give us some REAL bands".

IDK about the past years since I didn't go, but with the exception of 2011 and 2014, the last 7 years looked pretty good for old school fans. This year, at least IMO is really shitty at the moment. Just compare it to DL Madrid and Paris, both look better to me, not to even mention other festivals across europe. Hope to see some better bands on the bill, but it's a real dissapointment for now.

DownboundTrain52 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 At a glance, kind of assuming BFMV and Manson to headline second stage - but also feel Parkway would be prime for that spot. Manson could sub still, with a Wembley Arena show to reaffirm credentials - feel BFMV higher than third on main is making an almighty push on a dying horse in a sense. Babymetal fourth down main - though curveball could be a second stage headline option versus Ozzy, if they were to tour with full production. Probably got enough staying power and fun time appeal to beef up a 65-minute set at a push. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 (edited) A guy on the Download forum who posted the bands announced tonight over an hour before the announcement has said that Parkway Drive are headlining second with Babymetal subbing them on one of the days, assumed to be the Sunday. Bullet and Manson must be subs. Edited November 28, 2017 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Just now, devilman said: It was a day before the announcement. He stated Parkway, BM, Asking and Bodycount yesterday but posted the full list of band being announced an hour before tonight, if I’m not mistaken?

Download always falls the weekend of my girlfriend's birthday and after showing her the line-up she doesn't seem keen, so I'll be doing something with her instead. It's a great inconvenience on my life. I have fully converted her on Reading Festival though after taking her in 2016 so I'm just hoping the line-up is solid this year!

DomDom1984 Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 I don't see Marilyn Manson being third down. Either subbing or second stage headline. I'd go for the former option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is subbing he's above 2nd stage headliner, it's not an equalled spot. 3rd down these days is 2nd stage headliner.....unless he gives bands higher because he booked GNR....probably, happened others like Korn but no one has pulled out of this.
