From that graspop lineup, id love to see Blind Guardian added, would be awesome low on the main stage.

And yes ... Just cross anything that can be crossed for Anthrax!!!

Ah right i didn't know download had got itself another outdoor stage, didn't know anyone that went to 08 lol, althought my mate said the crush for korn in 07 was pretty brutal what with mcr not going down well.

I'd say the point still stands though, the prodigy should be headlining the main stage if they play. I'd argue they were bigger than tool when they headlined amongst others (And i'm a massive tool fan lol, it's too easy to take a swipe at lostprophets though as they're the smallest headliner download has had by a country mile).

Some scary stuff printed in this months metal hammer, apparently Machine Head, Ac/Dc and Lamb of God are a no.

But what scares me the most was an interview conducted with Bullet For My Valentine asking them whether they think they are "worthy enough to headline download?" to which they replied "We'll have to wait and see if the offer comes in"...................

Btw metal hammer's website says LOG are heavily rumoured so that would be more up to date than the magazine!

As for BFMV, well Opeth have said headlining hammerfest means they can't to Download, so I think that would apply to them as well.

lucky you, i can't afford it :'(

lucking forward to seeing LoG again though, even if i am seeing them at defenders of the faith too :lol:

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
