Holy fudge what a shocker!

Would have preferred PJ but at least I can con a few more mates to go now.

What other festivals if any do vodaphone sponsor?

I reckon that if they are involved with another big fest PJ could be at that one.

Felt like the Pearl Jam set would have felt refreshing at Download, a new face in the revolving door of headliners at the fest but nope. Pretty disappointed. This means my streak probably breaks this year at a lowly 3 Downloads. Enjoyed them all immensely however!

Fingers crossed for a great undercard! I just can't justify the money when I could see Rammstein at another european fest.

I stand by what I've said previously, unless there's new material, Slipknot are a poor booking. Nothing new released since their last appearance, so will end up being the same set.

Was hoping for Pearl Jam, not because I'm a big fan, but because its something different.

Slipknot are a step down for me but I'll still be delighted to see them. I haven't before. PJ are on my must see list and may well influence which other festival I go to this year. Any one think that Copping might have been playing with the sneaks and leakers, possibly even targeting efests? Thought you were clever leaking Maiden huh? Well have some of this wrong stuff plastered proudly all over your website! :)

Can't believe people are being so negative here. Ok Slipknot haven't had a new album in quite sometime, but their stage show and performance is fantastic. Put that alongside Maiden doing a classic(and different set) and the masters of a live show Rammstein.....it'll be amazing. My only problem may be is if they put Tool headlining the second stage. Would be a disaster!!

    • Me too.  Reckon they must have more this year.   Not bad is it - ended up paying same price as this year.  It still represents great value for me.  Well, until I check my bank account the Monday after the weekend.
    • Well mayors have more powers to do that sh*t...but they have to make the numbers add up.
    • We'll see. Bristol and Leeds are both massively overdue big public transport investment - 2 of the cities with the worst transport infrastructure per capita in Western Europe. If this works to help support investment projects great and fair play to Burnham.
    • The Bródy Day was his idea because Sziget has always been late when it comes to this kind of concert. They would only organize farewell performances or tribute shows after an artist had passed away. Since Bródy is one of the country's greatest singer-songwriters, they wanted to honor him while he is still alive. (He didn't say it exactly like that, but the man is 80 and has just stopped playing large concerts.) He never understood why anyone would focus exclusively on one generation, especially Gen Z, who have less disposable income, drink less, and are, in his words, "afraid of partying." He explained that in the past, people loved festivals because of the nonstop partying, whereas many younger people today find that experience overwhelming or exhausting. That's one of the reasons why Sziget will introduce more chill zones and sensory-friendly spaces. They also want to attract older generations, who are generally more willing and able to spend money. The Sziget Icons days are aimed at this audience, and in the future they hope to create a more balanced lineup that appeals to people over 35 as well.   It was a long interview. If anything else comes to mind, I'll share it.
