I think all those acts could play even if that image is a fake.

Andy has said the 3rd headliner will be soon, not long to wait at all actually.

Which makes me think its this week probably Thursday the day before tickets go back onsale.

Running it through 'shop reveals a few weird anomalies - the star behind it isn't correctly overlaid on the left of the image and goes into some weird repeat behind the Download logo - something not ususal on the posters of previous years, the angles of the spikes also don't match on this 'second wave'

The over shadowing on the main logo - bottom left at the D and the overly red flames top right - aren't repeated on the rest of the images on the left and right of the page - where orange is orange and not red. I concede it's possible the camera angle and whatever screen it's being displayed on may cause some weird colouring effects - but the fact the blinds in the image (right) and the thumb and live nation logo are clear - suggest the image blur is on the image being projected. However the skulls, and flowers on the left aren't blurred.

Talking of which it seems the Pearl Jam logo has an under image ghost - the other two Rammstein and Maiden are above - as are Download logo and the dates. Also weirdly Stone Sour has absolutely no ghosting and QOTSA far less - I don't know how a camera would out the focus on only the top half of the screen without motion blur. And blur the middle of the image not the edges.

The on sale image to is too over burnt left and right - way above anything' when the image contrast is fiddled with - suggesting this has been edited - perhaps it actually said 'Headlining' a ghost of the 'H' under 'On suggests it's been 'shopped.

The clincher though is the totally focused and colour correct bottom of the Lotus Flower (from last year's poster) top centre - a direct repeat of last year's image - yet bizarrely showing scan lines and completely 'off image'.

I'm pretty sure this isn't a real image, and the poster has been put together and then displayed for the purpose of this photo. I'd suggest the Live Nation header to give it authenticity actually gives it less so - why would a letter head prove the image (on screen) real? It's not like it would have been posted.

A good and original effort.

I would have to get at least a day ticket if TOOL headline the Friday, though with that god awful under card I'd be turning up as they arrive on stage. Machine Head, subbing, really? They played last year a slot lower & have done little to nothing to warrant a return, never mind a return in a slot higher.

I find Machine Fucking Head really really boring. I've seen them 3 times now and they've never impressed me.

*is really inviting a lot of abuse*

I think they do a lot for charity, as they proved by giving the proceeds from the Christmas No1 and doing a free gig afterwards.

I assume any 'leaked posters' are fake these days. I know just how easy it is to make them, and how would anyone have gotten a hold of the actual poster anyway? If there's a leak, it's generally just a list of bands from either an inside source or Kerrang or someone announcing early.

This is one I made the other day and stuck on Facebook, just to see if anyone would buy it:

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
