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.

    • I agree that we’ll never really know up until the concert happens (and even then we still may not know) but I think promoters are having to come up with new tactics to combat ‘blue dot fever’ (already hating that phrase!) and trying to imply that concerts are selling better than they actually are / available tickets are in short supply is definitely one of them.    To add though, it is quite common at the O2 Arena for the rear blocks to not go on sale (and then remain closed for the concert and covered over to hide the empty seats). And equally common for standing to sell out first, then side/lower tier seating next and rear/upper tier seating last.    Jungle’s two concerts at the O2 are a good comparison for this - for their 1st (announced) date, all blocks are on sale and seats in all sections remain unsold, whereas for their 2nd date, the rear blocks are greyed out (more so than for Muse) and equally lots of seats remain unsold in the blue blocks. Standing for both concerts are showing as sold out.
    • MGK can and should headline. I was at one of his shows earlier in the year as a very casual fan, and there were a lot of alt people there. The show was actually class and he completely won me over. Anyone who opposes him headlining is just a gatekeeper imo, we need to move with the times.
    • Ultimately Glasto is just part of the festival circuit, however special we may think it is. The vast majority of its headliners have done many others
    • From Magyar’s FB:   ”Our country's energy and water supply is stable. As of today, voluntary consumption reduction is no longer necessary. The turbine at the Paks power plant is generating stably. Thanks to precipitation in Austria, the water level of the Danube will temporarily rise by 20–30 centimeters. Thank you, Hungary, for the unprecedented national unity shown in recent days! We have much to be proud of, and much to carry forward into the period ahead.”
    • I hope it stays under £400.  A lot of us aren't flush with cash.  Charities are great but do they need £1 mil (I jest)
