I'm sure those bands (Korn, Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Marylin Manson) will apeal to a lot of the audience, but to me those bands represent what was a very dry period for music, and whilst I wouldn't mind say one of those headlining, I think 3 of those headlining would be a very negative, backwards statement.

provided no theatrics from mr durst i reckon limp bizkit could still go down well, they're in no way relevant but everyone knows the tunes (it would be hard not to, kerrang still has them on heavy rotation), would be good in a bouncy way, same as manson was when i saw him at leeds few years back, no new songs just hit after hit and it was brilliant lol.

and i must be the only one who thought that "imagine accepting the truth" song was pretty damn good lol, didn't get the ep when it came out though.

Anybody else worried about the lack of information we've been recieving as of late?

Makes me think Download organisers have taken a massive risk and its gone tits up :lol:

I reckon we'll either get an announcement tonight, or in a few days an announcement saying there's going to be an announcement for next week. If that makes sense.

Don't know if they've already been mentioned, but Juliette And The Licks and The Gaslight Anthem are both playing Rock Am Ring in June, so they are quite likely for Download too.

Shin is happy... NFG now Strong Rumour :lol::lol:

I'm going and so far they are the only rumoured band I like (maybe "like" is understating my devotion to them... but everyone knows that anyway)

I would guess that only one of those bands you mentioned would "headline"! Of course, I suppose it all depends on who else confirms, if indeed those four all do confirm.

For me personally, those four bands totally remind me of great times that I was having back in the day!! Limp Bizkit's "Rollin" makes me smile everytime!!!

I still think some of the bands in that American Festival could play at Download. I'd be really happy if Yeah Yeah Yeahs played :)

Surely theres a chance of Juilette Lewis at Download if shes in Europe at the time?

Im not so hopeful on Yeah Yeah Yeahs though bud, I hope they don't play Reading again, would be nice if V tried to book them, obviously for me!

They booked Sonic Youth before, who by the way have said they hope to play a couple of UK festivals this year...

    • 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
