But you know what this forums like the more people talk about it the more they think it will happen.

Blur for example, people thinking it was going to sell out straight away etc etc. Cant see why people think nin would headline though, they were nowhere near headlining when they split, but saying that pulp were not either. The smiths will never reform, But everyone said that a year or so ago.

They subbed R/L and put on the performance of the weekend. The following year they sold out an arena tour and subbed only Metallica at Soni. On top of that, reunions tend to ramp up excitement and popularity as it's been a lot longer since people had a chance to see them.

And I don't reckon NIN will reform for a few years yet, and the music scene will have changed during that time, and I expect a lot of that will include the decline of popularity of guitar music and festivals.

And the Smiths, thankfully, will never reform.

I honestly don't think guitar music can fall any lower than it is at the minute, I think there will be a resurgence pretty soon.

However I do agree that the fad of festivals will soon wear thin. There are far too many and at a ridiculous price now. I honestly think the reason the fests are struggling is the price now, that people just are not willing to pay so it will soon decline.

New posters - unless I made mistakes, there are no bands at all from either festival's 2012 line-ups included, and no bands from the 2011 line-ups at the same festival. Tried to go with a good mix of genres, with plenty of bands that haven't played for a while/at all.

There are only two nu-metal bands on that day/stage though, Bizkit and Roach... how did you get a 'whole day' from that?

Arch Enemy had the same slot as Architects at Sonisphere last year, I figure that means they're around the same size. Architects would surely fit that slot, so in theory they should too. Based on the same logic, Arch Enemy aren't as big as Opeth are they? They were in a much lower slot at Sonisphere...

I quite like your two posters Hart Attack, especially the first and third days. I agree with the above though the middle day for each is a bit pish. I'm a bit gutted I can't do Download next year but my mates wedding probably has to take precedence the selfish bugger!

Oh ok. Well it seems like it's going well so far, so I think there's a chance of them being around next year.

I've included them in my 2013 prediction. However, they are subbing to YM@6 on the NME, which I know is a massive crime against music, but I'm making entirely unbiased predictions :P

    • Used had one of the biggest crowds in the Wave last year. Not really my thing but enjoyed it and the crowd were bang up for it. Might be too much of a step up on the Main though. 
    • Thing is it depends on what the issues are - building a bigger stage would likely bring the Pyramid up to the relatively standard 20x20 space for "on stage" production which does make it easier for touring setups. But if for example she wants big / complex extensions going out in the field (such as she had in Rio) that would remain just as awkward to achieve without massively disrupting the rest of the day or potentially even weekend.
    • A month or so before any ballot a group of up to six is registered and a lead booker named.  That gives see tickets time to check if any individual’s registration, post code  and details appears more than once on different groups and removed then on ticket allocation day tickets the groups are just randomly balloted.  It’s felt like a ballot in the last few years, just sitting staring at the dreaded two lines, glancing nervously at the clock as time passes. Maybe the f5 refresh gave you the sense that you were actually doing something 😊  
    • or can we just have Metallica back please 😄
    • Feel Stevie Wonder should be in the conversation as a random Michael Eavis headliner ala Neil Young last year.... If we did get a M.E pick for one of the headliner slots, who else would be in the mix do we think? Cher? Rolling Stones? Nicks/Fleetwood?
