It's not about how heavy a band is, it's about how they perceive themselves. For example I think kiss and def leppard are about as middle of the road pop rock you can get but they got booked. Because they are perceived to rock or metal. KOL might be heavier than them live but are perceived as Indie. Besides I think KOL have enough festival saturation this year with Reading and T not to meantion i think KOL would be too high profile for DL.

Just looking at whos touring in the Summer, and its Thunder's farewell tour, do we think they could play Download as part of it?

Also New Found Glory looking very likely, playing 2 UK dates end of May then over to Germany start of June, so I guess they will then come back over for Download?

Bayside are supporting them, the whole of their US tour, the UK dates and the Geramn dates, so I guess they might be at Download too

Did they actually say they were playing in the UK? Do they live in the UK or in the States now cus they could just have meant back to the UK cus they live there?

But if so they meant play and if Friday is

Iron Maiden

Nickelback

Chris Cornell

Then that would be pretty damn good and would work too I think

Theres plenty of reasons you could suggest for various bands not playing, but unless there is a cast iron reason why they won't be there, they are in with a shout.

Really, i could think of a fairly logical reason why any band anyone cares to name won't be headlining, but at this stage no-one seems to have the faintest idea who it is. Two weeks ago people thought it was Crue/Slipknot/Prodigy headlining, and Wes Borland was doing interviews saying he'd never play with Limp Bizkit ever again.

Keep an open mind, is what i'm saying.

      Primavera Sound 2026

      By homesick · Posted

      Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.

      Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
