ROYAL BLOOD!!! Yaaaasss! And Wildhearts! And Lawnmower Deth! Kewl.

Royal Blood were one of the reasons I was considering Leeds this year, no need now

[cornucopia]

ORANGE GOBLIN. 'Nuff said!!!!!! Quality addition.

[lightning1000]

I've never seen so many cancellations and day switches at a festival before. Hopefully now that day tickets go on sale this will stop.

Really happy with the announcement, royal blood, against me! The wildhearts and orange goblin are all great additions.

The line up really has changed around A LOT this year, main stage has changed too much apart from Joe B and Bury Tomorrow being bumped to main stage.

Royal Blood only got announced last week via Classic Rock poster on 4th stage and now this week they've been bumped up to third stage. Crazy.

Still all in all with all this that Andy has had to deal with I think we've been left with a really good line up. There's so much on the line up that I've never seen before. Its only really main stage with acts that I've seen.

On Second stage across the whole weekend all I've seen before is Offspring, Trivium and Pretty Reckless [i may have seen The Answer too]

Third stage only Letlive and Arcane Roots

And Fourth stage only Heart in Hand

So Im gunna see a bunch of new acts this year

[atomised]

More announcements due at 6 today. Not sure what to expect

[lightning1000]

Drenge, baby Godzilla, turbowolf and Richie sambora suits me just fine. Hopefully no horrible clashes

[lightning1000]

Oh and skid row have been moved back to Saturday ffs. Hope they didn't factor into anyone buying a Sunday ticket. Oh and danger danger have pulled out haha

Missed drenge last year at reading, so might check them at download and I'll watch Sambora

[justanothername]

Baby Godzilla and Drenge! I think Download have some great smaller bands this year! I haven't seen Baby G yet (plan on changing that soon) but I do recommend Drenge as they were brilliant when I saw them in March

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

The Offspring are playing Smash in full.

[luckysalt]

Saw Copping confirm this earlier, great news, hope they play it at the start of their set.

[DomDom1984]

Cracking album that. Kinda jealous now. "Smash" and "Hybrid Theory" on one festival bill. Think it's underwhelming top to bottom but that sort of makes it more appealing.

[Gucci Piggy]

Maybe if Hybrid Theory wasn't so shit.

[2rare2die]

Kinda gutted now as I'll probably be watching A7X.

[luckysalt]

[thegremlin_1999]

The problem with comparison tho is clashes.

There's about 8-9 bands on download Friday I'd like to see but only 2-3 I'd be ABLE to see...

[justanothername]

I prefer Downloads line up this year. Even though the headliners aren't great (would still happily go and see them mind you) but the smaller bands this year are incredible! There is more I want to see at Download than Sonisphere as well

[lightning1000]

Loads of clashes for me. flogging Molly, let live. and baby Godzilla is a nightmare clash.

Also drenge, royal blood.

Skindred, the answer.

Avenged, the offspring

Bad religion, Rob zombie

Lonely the brave, coldrain

Marmozets, skid row

Joe bonamassa, sepultura

Seether, against me!

Yup, it's clashfest 2014 for me

[justanothername]

Drenge and Royal Blood would be bad for me and so would Baby Godzilla and letlive. but I'm planning on not going that day so it doesn't affect me.

[Moey]

So, everyone has to get their first one out of way, right?

I was wondering what people's view were on any remaining slots, and who they would like to see in there.

For me, I'm well happy with the likes of the temperance movement and bonamassa. Although I'm not sure how well his blues style will go down on the main stage (could have been better higher up the 2nd) I'd be happy for something like skunk anansie on the Friday as it's looking pretty thin for me.

[scrubbertheman]

Skunk Anansie would be a great addition. I've never been able to catch them live before
