Whats everyone hopes that they throw into their setlist?

Obviously the last album the setlist was the same for like 3 years solid and it sucked, they didn't change it around at all, and people who saw them in this period, you're weren't getting them on form, it was like a computer programme being loaded to the audience same every night.

I actually thought their performance at Download 2009 was pretty average, I think the best I saw them was during 2005's greatest hits tour, at V that year and on their own shows they owned. And at TITP and V in 2008 they were good but just ok, 2009 on tour prior to Download I thought they were very good, but Download was the start of going through the motions.

Now they've had a break from touring flat out and festivals and been working on some new material, this headline show at Download is a big deal, their last headline show on main stage at a rock festival was Reading 2002, I was there, it was a mess. This was during Baby's Got A Temper, a song they hate and an album they scrapped.

I hope they're refreshed and break out some classics, they've left the classics out for a long time and I think the audience they're gunna get at Download a lot of people will want the classics, stuff from Music For The Jilted Generation would go down a treat, Im not expected Experience stuff, but Jilted Generation stuff is quite rocky, Their Law, Break and Enter both of those are musts for me.

I dunno if people have seen Break and Enter live back in the day but I want to see Keith in the ball rolling around then breaking out then the bottles getting smashed on his head. Freaking awesome and I think they should do it.

Watch this video Glasto 95 and tell me this wouldn't own at Download this year?

I would like to give useful input to this but I can't. I saw them at T in the Park in 2010 and from what I can remember it was amazing. I jumped in a circle pit, pwned it and then found myself at the barrier. I got pick pocketed and would never have realised if my pal hadn't stood on my wallet. It was, and they were great but this was at the end of a 2 day boozy session like you wouldn't believe so I didn't exactly have my clipboard out making objective notes. Fond memories but I'm still going to see Slash instead.

I'd say they'll play:

breathe

Thunder

Firestarter

Warriors dance

Smack my bitch up

Omen

Poison

Voodoo people

Invaders must die

Run with the wolves

Their law

Out of space

+ 3/4 new songs

Im personally travelling up from Berkshire just to see The Prodigy on the Friday night - cant wait!

Hands-up, I'm not a big fan. But last time I saw 'em was a few years back at Leeds Fest and the set consisted of some bloke marching around the stage on one long (very long!) foul mouthed tirade at the audience. I'm not being a prude, it was just plain tedious and boring.

Anyway, I'll be watching Slash . . . .

Where does one get a curry at that time? :)

If the last 2 Fridays at Download are anything to go by, after Slash I shall be on auto pilot back to my tent and not remember getting there although the campers around will all talk to me the next day as I obviously made friends and drank with them! Thing is I'm the sober one out of our gang, others have missed the Fri night headliner every year.

Seen the Liam interview with NME.

Says new album will probably be called 'How To Steal A Jet Fighter'

It will be a darker and harder album and less of a party album like Invaders must Die

Maxim and Keith have been working on it with him a few days a week, they've been included in the process more than ever before.

May play one new song at Download if he feels like it would work at the time

Is coming to Download to play their set and then leaving again, isn't staying to watch anyone else.

Came across as a bit of a dick, but we knew that already.

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
