Download 2018

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The least secret set of secret sets then. The dates are the week after Download.

Hi guys, new member but viewed on and off for a while.

Corey didn't actually confirm Download at Brixton on Monday.

He mentioned "Bouncing like you're at Download 18" in one song and then near the end said "We'll see you sooner than you think"

As with 99% of the crowd, I assumed that was a Download confirmation but obviously not.

[IamGroot]

Shit, I've got to say I was excited about them being in DL. They would really improve the fest, which DOES look pretty crappy in comparison to the other ones in EU this summer.

[Damian46]

I wouldn't rule out a sneaky Corey acoustic show or something similar though, unless he's fallen out with AC lol

Welcome!

Yeah that does seem slightly less of a confirmation. Still a weird thing for him to say.  Quite a shock that they’re around and have had to play their own shows instead of an appearance at essentially Corey’s festival home. Maybe a sign that Copping doesn’t get as much say as in the past.

Thanks!

Yeah, very weird,  everyone definitely left assuming it was essentially a confirmation but he never actually spoke the magic words.

As I've said above, I still wouldn't be surprised if he appears himself but it's a definite shame, they have such a good catalogue to choose from now.

With Stone Sour now looking to be out of the equation, I’m going for: 

A7X / BFMV / Architects 

Alice In Chains 

GNR / BSC / Trivium 

Rise Against 

Ozzy / Manson / Ghost 

Parkway Drive

Yep they confirmed again in Brixton last night.

He was pretty explicit at Cardiff gig last night that they will be at download !!

Got to slot Limp Bizkit in their somewhere. 

[thewayiam]

GNR and RA is enough for a day ticket, likely to be another band on that day I won't mind.

[dentalplan]

I think Parkway Drive are telling the truth on their tour dates about playing Saturday tho. Then the poster would read chronologically and in line with their slots:

[Nice to Michu]

I think Alexisonfire will be a second stage headliner and Rise Against will play 3rd down main Sat or Sun, just my opinion.

I really really hope you're right.

[Andre91]

Volbeat announced as Grasspop headliners. I really hope that they’re at Download and it a great slot like third down Main. 

If Parkway are playing the Saturday then I hope to god that second closes before GNR play.

Looks good. But AIC third?

They played Ally Pally on their last UK tour, and sub-headlined Sonisphere as their most recent festival appearance. Doesn't seem at all unreasonable to me (or are you suggesting they would be higher, not lower?)

[Andre91]

AIC third down seems fine with a new album. I think that’s where they will play if they don’t headline second. 

[Death By Sexy]

Some new names for GMM, possibilities for Download

[Andre91]

Knocked Loose, please. 

[DownboundTrain52]

What's ruled the Hollywood Vampires out BTW? They seem to have vanished from predictions.

Lack of space, I suppose. Plus they're absent at all the other Downloads.

[Andre91]

Rambling Man also lives weekends to accomodate a headliner or something so they could be there? 

There’s loads on that Graspop lineup I’d like to see at DL.

Fair enough then.
