NME headliners will get 60 mins, except for FNM last year got 75 mins.
-
Surely if they were going to pull out then they would just do it?
-
It's alright, cheers for the help
Does anyone know what the traffic is usually like getting to/into download on the friday?
-
Ah cheers guys
Not a lot of point in me getting there much before 2 then

Hey guys, I have Friday tickets for AC/DC.
It's the first time I've been to download and I was wondering what sort of time I'll need to get there. I know the arena gates open at 2pm and music starts an hour later, but say if I got there at one will I be able to get lunch and any merch I want or will I have to wait in the car park until 2pm?
I guess what I'm saying is as day ticket holders will we have access to the village before the arena opens?
I wanted to get this posted before all you lucky weekend ticketers leave tomorow
Cheers

I was enrolled to work download this year with what I think used to be the better festival group but i think they've changed names now?
Anyway got an email off them a while ago saying they no longer needed volunteers because they didnt get the contract with download or something.
Still, with a lineup like this i'd rather pay and see all the acts i want too
-
All mainstage on Friday, although i might go check out Taylor Hawkins
Then thats it for me, im only going for the day
-
I'm still waiting for my Friday day tickets. I ordered mine off the live nation site. Anyone else order tickets from here and have you got them yet?
-
Where abouts is AC/DC's stage gonna be?
Will it be in the main arena, just to the side of the main stage?
-
Ahh thats a bit of a shame, I was really hoping Taylor Hawkins would get added to the main stage
-
How come they haven't been added to the lineup properly yet? Or am I just being blind? Are they waiting until they can add a few more at the same time?
-
I would've thought there'd be a lot of people doing this of their own accord anyway...
-
This may just be me over thinking it, but does anyone else feel it could be made into another DVD, as like a return to Donington?
It would seem like a reason for the rest of the stages finishing early, so they could have maximum numbers there and less disruption from over stages shown on high shots?
-
Do you need parking passes for day tickets? I can't see them missing a trick like that, but it'd be nice if you didn't.
-
I get the feeling the booking of ACDC is more then just for Download to sell tickets this year, AC touched on this but I think they're hoping it puts Download on the 'map' globally and gives them far more weight in the future when negotiating with bands and stuff, if that makes sense :/. No surprise Friday is going to be making cuts lower down though, is it?
-
Absolute bollocks
a weekend ticket this year is £180 before fees, I know a fair few would have been early bird but lets just say they do sell out the 110,000 they have at £180, thats nearly £20million. Its a Live Nation event this isn't some little shanty festival. They have just as much money as V and Reading and Leeds do through tickets sales, so basically theres no reason to use this excuse. Im sure they've probablly spent £4-5 million tops on this line up
-
I'd love to see him. I'd like him to clash with blink, but i cant really see that happening. Early mainstage would be good as he probably wouldn't clash with anyone I wanna see. Can't see the atmosphere being as good as in the lock up though.
-
I just bought a day ticket for the AC/DC day. I think for AC/DC fans, many wouldn't even care about other bands playing. I mean it'd be great to have a full days music, but its still not terrible value considering id probably pay that just to go see them in their own show
Download never have as much money to spend on acts as others, so to pull out the bag three headliners who are pretty much the biggest acts in their respective fields there had to be sacrifices somewhere. Still, I can see why weekend ticket holders are disappointed. Them crooked vultures are quite a pull as well on that day. Maybe if they had a slightly bigger band than wolfmother bringing up the rearer people wouldnt feel so cheated?

snoop dogg!
what a guy
-
Anyone else think he will be going Orchestral for this "Special Guests" slot....
-
Based on what I'm hearing about ticket sales, i'd be surprised if they even bother with a UK Sonisphere next year. Or if they do (apparently they were booked for three) unless they do something really impressive (would literally have to be Led Zep or someone) that one will be the last one.
-
the only place i could've seen them fitting in would be slotting in above LCD as nme headliners, but now they've announced the full NME bill for that day it's not gonna happen.
nevermind eh, there's always next year.
-
I've never known anyone to have been ID to take beer into the campsite. I used to just stick a crate in a rucksack, I find after a couple of days of little food or water it doesn't take a great deal of beer to get me drunk
I think they're pretty tight on buying alcohol when your there though.

I'd love to swap pendulum with weezer, I'd liked to have seen pendulum and I'll probably be near the front after the limp bizkit/cypress hill run
As it stands I think I'll watch arcade fire over pendulum.
