I think they will start to branch out to Hip-Hop as well as dance. Someone said the other day that the organiser was bigging up Jay-Z on Twitter or something. I could see Eminem headlining Download at some point. If they paid him enough ofc.

Gary Numan definitely would fit in at Download though, he heavies the older more synth-pop songs up these days, and his newer stuff is very gothy/industrial influenced, very close to Nine Inch Nails so don't see why he'd be out of place at Download. Depeche mode as well I'd have thought would be a great crossover act to have headline to be honest.

No problem in principal with Dancey/Electronic acts. But not at the expense of a big rock name I'd say.

But people like:

Alec Empire/Atari Teenage Riot

Justice

Skrillex

Apollo 440

would work in lower slots I'd say. How about a "Dance" tent instead of the 3rd stage for one day? Headlined by someone like Gary Numan with ATR, Justice, Skrillex etc etc in it. Maybe some more hip-hop type peeps too? Could a "dance" tent start at say 6pm and run till 2-3am (like how Bohemia did at Soni...) or is there a specific licensing issue there? If you're having something like that why not go the whole hog and have something like "Arcadia" come?

Obviously make sure the DJ's playing more sort of crossover stuff, or DnB/Dubstep stuff anyway...

I was at T seen a bit of Calvin Harris , Nero and Swedish house mafia I'm sorry but they are dj's and I don't get it .... They belong in clubs whether they are mixing live or not,festivals should be about live music.

To be fair dizzy rascal is good live and he has been infulanced by grunge/rock

    • 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
