Figure I'll get in on the Download line up arguments...

I'm not sure about the Download line up this year either tbh, I guess I'm just too young for alot of it. Most of the bands were past it when I started listening to rock music, it amazes me so many of them can still get a top 3 slot at a festival the size of Download but that's just a testament to the state of rock and metal at the moment in the mainstream I guess.

Even Slipknot seems an odd choice for headliner, I swear they were far more relevent when they were second headliners the past few times they did Download?

But yeah, there are bands I want to see but so far nothing has blown me away and there's no one making me want to instantly book my ticket tommorow. I'd imagine the depth will come through in the end, should be the lower stages I find the most value anyway, and I doubt we've got many bands for those.

yeah i love my metal, but the times ive been to download ive ended up chuckling not at the emo kids, but the metal heads, most of them are just super nerds who go on about how metal they are. black leather and studs doesnt make you metal, just a bit camp and funny to look at

Going further off topic

Does anyone have a map of the campsite?

The first time i went to T i knew the camp mapsite off by heart and what there was to do xD but so far no idea what there is to do in the campsite at Download

Download is more tolerant I'd say. You could wear what the f**k you want and nobody would bat an eyelid. There's hundereds to do in the campsite Wed and Thurs and Fri Sat Sun nights with Burlesque, comedians, guitar hero comps, rock karaoke, huge fair ground and cinema, etc. Download has a better vibe I'd say as it is bigger but still feels relaxed.

    • Think Pulp are optimistic, not in terms of size but just that they've been on the road (albeit not intensively) for 3 years in a row and it feels like EotR is the deliberate end of the cycle.   Would be fairly surprised if they're active next year.
    • 👍 plus they brought their own screens 📺 either side of the stage.
    • Production was the only thing that could even explain why she would back out. Like they had sorted out the financials and she was fine with it and then a production meeting happened. It all fell apart. It was very clear that she was not going to compromise her show one bit and then that show in Brazil pretty much confirmed it. There was like one element they couldnt pull off outdoors, but it was negligible since the rest was a carbon copy of the tour she had been on. Glasto is not willing to make any bold changes on the Pyramid stage so then theyre kinda stuck in terms of what some acts want/demand. I think the easiest solution to that is putting her on Friday. You deal with the changes for one night and then re configure for the rest of the weekend. In 24 they were fortunate to have had Dua and Coldplay on Fri and Sat so they could both use the b stage. But I think it was removed for Sunday?     I saw a random rag article earlier that said Olivia Dean turned down Glasto BECAUSE her ex ( not even confirmed dating ) Harry Styles was playing the fest. hahahaha
    • No argument that he’s bigger than ever, I just have no enthusiasm for it.
    • Keep in mind those crowds were full of teenagers. Glasto aint full of teenagers. Theres no way she could demand headline and get it because they got other acts to give the slot to who deserve it with a bigger catalog. Reading/Leeds would headline her cause its still LN.  If the fest was struggling its Other headline. But a 3rd down Pyramid is likely the landing spot. Itll go down like the Camila Cabello performance pretty much.
