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.

      Iran are winning. If US aren't going to do the full invasion thing, then they may as well admit defeat and do what is needed to get the strait opened. Iran obviously have decided they can take any pain and stick it out as they have all the cards with this Hormuz thing. But obviously Trump can't admit defeat, and Israel just want this to keep going...and maybe it will carry on like this till after elections in both US and Israel towards the end of this year. God knows how the global economy will be by then.

      All kicking off in N Ireland, all aided and abetted on videos that get circulated on social media and Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson telling people to take to the streets. Social media needs regulating same as publishers, if they have algorithms that push whatever to people then they are effectively publishers anyway. The problem is just going to get worse and worse.
