i'd be astounded if nin didn't headline, download is their target audience, and whilst they are a "cult" band, they can shift tickets pretty damn quick lol. Also tool headlined and i'd say they're around the same size in this country. Anyone know when the aussie dates are, i'm off that way at the start of next year and would love to see nin again.

As per an interview wih the band in this weeks Kerrang, Download have offered a headline slot to Slipknot though they are considering other offers at the moment including Leeds/Reading after missing out last year.

They do say that UK Festivals will see quite a bit of them next year.

Slipknot would be a great choice especially with the choice of supports on the tour machine head and bodum.Don`t really know how much impact headliners have on the bill but hopefully with Slipknot headlining it would be a good one. :rolleyes:

I know its a long shot, but seeing as the band seems kind of split on whether to do reading or download, do you reckon theres a chance they'll do both? maybe headline download but make sure they're not exclusive to the one festival? it would still be a good decision on download's part considering the headliners they've had in recent times.

I would. I would be very surprised. Neither have much chance of headlining Download. Neither have enough mainstream appeal. Machine Head have an outside chance of fitting into a Tool style "cult" headlining spot. But Trivium are just a metal band for people who don't actually listen to alot of heavy music, and therefore can't see how poor they are.

Im suprised no one has said Guns n roses for headliner really, i saw em play in 2006, and although many people were pissed that they didnt see the original line-up it was never going to happen, and in my opinion Axl Rose is the best front man that has ever lived, and as he has FINALLY released chinese democracy i believe he will hit up download, and if he does, if anyone can get 2 backstage passes lol, i will pay up to a grand for em both

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
