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

But they did look v smug and said they would be back in the Uk after they finished touring (which is april) and that people should come and see em....so maybe Iron Maiden...come on 1 British headliner...please?

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.

    • 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...
