Dont think Download are gunna pull out anything that will make me return next year, I look at that list and its all acts Ive seen or not bothered about.

Wonder if its going to be another rough year for Download to book acts, its not gunna be as strong as this year. Plus Glasto being back on. Think a lot of extra tickets were bought by people who would normally be there, reckon IOW may have lost a bunch of fans this year though because of the weather.

Im not sure who Id want there but I can see Live Nation doing EVERYTHING possible to get one of Foos, Green Day or Muse.

I also believe with the growth of Download they wouldn't book Tool as headliners anymore unless they know they're going to be going for a lower attendence. They won't shift 120k with Tool.

My IOW comments were down to the fact, the punters that I saw in the news and on twitter were upset they hadn't been informed of how bad things were before they crossed on the ferry, a normal 20 minute car journey they said took 18 hours or whatever it was, the fact that they were stuck in traffic waiting to get in whilst Giddings wasn't even mentioning the situation but instead twitting about how good Primal Scream were pissing people off even more [put yourself in their shoes, you'd be pissed off too], also the fact he said you can go home and get your money back then the next day changed his mind and said you can get on site now there's no reason to give your money back I won't be doing it.

It's not down to the weather, its the public relations between festival and attendees that followed it.

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
