    Any chance of 30 seconds to Mars? 

    I think 30 Seconds To Mars will call it a day sooner rather than later to be honest. While I dislike Jared Leto, This Is War is a fantastic album, and I really like some of their earlier stuff. I wish they would return to that style. Might be for the best they call it quits though. I saw them a couple of years ago and while it was okay, it did feel like the Jared Leto show. They are borderline cultish now.

    They would accept no less than headline, and I don't think R+L would ever give them that platform.

    Really stating to get into a day to remember love their new stuff 

    Their new stuff is good. Homesick as someone mentioned already is fantastic. You should definitely check out What Separates Me From You as well.

    Would love to see ADTR make a return to R+L, don't think it will be for a little while again though.

  3. Just finished listening to the new Biffy album, unreal. Wasn't an album I was particularly excited for, but wow, really good stuff. Wasn't sold on 'Instant History' the first time I heard it, but have to say it's my favourite off the new album. 'Tiny Indoor Firework', 'Cop Syrup', 'Space' and 'North Of No South' are standouts as well, glad I didn't listen to any of the singles apart from 'Instant History' in the buildup to the album so I could hear them as part of the album experience for the first time.

    Not buying into this nonsense that they've past their prime, they would absolutely smash another headline set at R+L, some of those songs would go off. Make it happen in 2022 Festival Republic.

  4. Amazing what a couple of additions and removals did for my opinion on the lineup. ADTR, Biffy and Rise Against are fantastic inclusions, and a weekend ticket may have to be considered (although I may likely just opt for a Sunday day ticket).

    Frank Carter > ADTR will be great, was cool at Leeds last year.

  5. Honestly think Rage are more likely than Guns N' Roses to be honest. Wouldn't mind seeing GNR purely to say I've seen them, plus the fact that it's the 'classic' lineup. But it seems completely random what GNR are going to turn up. Heard they were good at Download, but really poor last time they did R+L (which admittedly, was a while ago.

    Ik I bought this up already but hopefully some of you have seen the stuff about SWMRS

    Its absolutely disgusting and I applaud Lydia for coming out and saying all this, but the two statements the band have put out and disgraceful and quite honestly pathetic.

    I absolutely loved them, but quite honestly I couldn’t give two shits anymore unless a proper and thoroughly meant statement comes out and even then I might struggle 

    Yeah man, that first statement was an absolute disgrace. I won't even bother to look at the second statement (didn't know there was one until you mentioned it). They were on such a high horse in that first statement trying to be high and mighty, and the comment section (rightly) ripped them apart.

    It's such a shame to see this happening in more and more bands, but don't get me wrong, I'm glad it's all coming out. The bassist of Simple Plan left last week as well due to similar allegations, and the former bassist of Black Veil Brides (a band I loved in my high school emo phase) has also been accused by numerous girls regarding sexual abuse. It's sickening this is going on.

    Courteeners couldn't sell out PRYZM in Kingston! I understand the joke element of it but do people genuinely believe Courteeners have a remote chance of co-headlining? I just cannot see it at all.

    Jokes aside, truth be told, I can't see it ever happening myself. Absolutely no chance they deserve to either in my honest opinion. There is always a slight worry in the back of my mind that FR might give them the chance however.....

    According to Ticketmaster Poland RATM are postponing their September 2020 headine shows to „fall 2021“. Dates tba.

    Makes them unlikely for this.

    Does that not make them more likely? Finishing off their US tour on the 20th August, before coming over for R+L, and then moving onto Europe for September dates sounds like it could work.

    I will hold onto the hope they will be there until that damn 2021 poster with the Courteeners headlining appears, I swear to God.

    Great to see both headliners back, good start. Not sure whether I should get tickets now as I returned mine as I couldn’t attend the September dates but now it’s bank on the bank holiday. 

    I'm very reserved about buying any gig/festival tickets for next year at the moment truth be told. Definitely want to go to as many as I can, just really unsure when is the right time to start sinking money into them again.

    Any chance of black veil brides? 

    Can't see it, far more likely to do Download instead (they were booked for that this year, can see them being booked next year). First band I ever saw actually (not counting supports), way back in 2011.

  11. Main Stage: Fall Out Boy (2018)/Foo Fighters (2019)
    Honourable Mentions: A Day To Remember (2019), Panic! At The Disco (2018), Billie Eilish (2019)

    NME/Radio 1: Bring Me The Horizon (2018)
    Honourable Mentions: Don Broco (2018)

    The Pit/Lock-Up: Papa Roach (2018)
    Honourable Mentions: Bowling For Soup (2019)

    Dance Stage: -

    Festival Republic: -

    1xtra: ---

    Introducing: -

    I'm far from a Leeds Festival veteran, but I've had a blast both times I've went, and most of my time has been spent at the main stage. Had a feeling Rage would have been one of the best things I'd ever witnessed this year! Fingers crossed for next year though.

    Dance Stage and the 1xtra Stage just aren't my thing, although I could see myself possibly checking out the Introducing or the FR Stage at some point.

    If we get an announcement soon the majority of the lineup will probably be 2020 bands.

    I wasn't impressed with this year's lineup, either.

    The Sunday was the only day that really appealed to me, although there were a couple of good bands sprinkled on the other days. Much as I like SOAD, I think they are a boring booking however. Would still like to see them one day.

    The main change will be who replaces Maiden. A really good one could convince me to go for the weekend (Foo Fighters/BMTH/Biffy).

    But agreed, I thought this years lineup was disappointing (saying that, I personally thought 2019 was a poor lineup too, which is a shame, because I thought 2018 was unreal).

    Sorry just catching up but 21P have played Download already. I remember watching them quite early on a Friday on 2nd stage. Was quite nice weather so probably 13 or 14.

    Ah yeah, should have been more clear sorry, I meant headlining the thing. It was 2014 (my favourite ever Download lineup actually!).

    Yeah fair point that - its just all the years since i've been interested in the festival - it wasn't on purpose haha. But i think you'd agree they aren't exactly the level of the last 4.

    Question for everyone: if you got your 3 most wanted acts and the rest of the lineup was almost all courteeners/crap you don't like would you care?

    Echoing what other people have said, get me Rage and I will be there for the day. They were literally the only reason I bought a Friday ticket this year.

    Other good headliners and acts would be a massive bonus and might sway me into a weekend ticket, but Rage are just one of those bands I have to see no matter what.

  15. I seem to recall Simon Neil saying that Biffy Clyro would jump at the chance to support the Foo Fighters a while back mind. Is it completely out of the question that they might accept a sub role to the Foo's, if Foo's were to headline? Biffy > Foo's would be magnificent like.

    In a funny contrast, Foo Fighters’ set at Leeds last year was the second worst headline slot I’ve seen in 10 years of going to festivals. Bloated, self-indulgent and duller than dishwater. They’d fit in perfectly headlining Download’s Main Stage. 

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Nah, fair enough, although I must say I'm surprised. It was the first time I've ever seen them, so that might have been a factor too.

    Have you seen them before out of curiosity, and do you think it is just a case of you've seen them too many times, if you will?
