Lineup 2015

[Hart Attack]

I thought I would have a lil go:

The Pretty Reckless are too low... their last tour was same size venues as the Don Broco-headlined Kerrang Tour - and since that's a package tour you could argue Pretty Reckless would be above Broco. Would certainly be at least higher than Pierce The Veil I reckon. The Gaslight Anthem might be up a bit too, they did Alexandra Palace a few months back so probably above The Cribs at this point I think.

Amazing Saturday main (plus Frank Turner), definite day ticket at least for that. Only Gaslight and Marmozets for me on the other two days though, so I'd need a very, very good selection of bands from the NME/R1 undercard and on the Pit and FR stages.

Anyone know if Marilyn Manson is exclusive at Download, or is there some unspoken rule that Download acts don't play Reading? There's a few I'd like to see added

As a rule of thumb they didn't used to have acts playing bother their main stages - Billy Talent did Download's main and Reading's second in 2012, You Me At Six on Reading's main and Download's second also in 2012, Faith No More on Download's main and Reading's second in 2009, for example - but then Crossfaith main staged both last year, so I guess that rule's gone out the window now if it ever really existed to begin with.

As far as I know Manson's not exclusive though, so he isn't ruled out.

Well Manson aren't on the Main Stage anyway at Download.

Another great poster. However I cant see Temples/Drenge/Wolf Alice/Cribs/JAWS doing mainstage (As much as I would love them all to) Few other placings I'd suffle round a bit (Enemy/Pretty Reckless especially). But this line up would be excellent, let's hope! Edited February 7, 2015 by DGrant261

I believe he IS exclusive at Download guys.

BTW, if BMTH sub Reading this year and then headline Download the following year which is a rumour going around, that would be the other way round of Biffy subbing Metallica at Download 2012 then headlining Reading the following year.

Just a thought that came into my head...

Gnarwolves did so I don't see why they can't

I had this thought too actually but it is depending on if BMTH actually sub though so I just forgot about it until now

[dentalplan]

I would've thought both the thirds we know and Jamie T are bigger than BMTH are currently and a new album doesn't seem close. Doing all that a year later would make a bit more sense if their album comes out in autumn/winter.

I don't think BMTH will sub personally, their fanbase isn't broad enough

What? I'd say that they got a broad fan base but it isn't big enough for them to sub

BMTH are very popular but only among their own fans

not many people would go and see BMTH ''to see what they're like'' or because ''they're someone to watch''

- their crowd would look very thin as a sub

unlike someone like Frank Turner whose fanbase is broader - he would attract (and I hate to slump people into these categories) NME readers, kerrang readers and maybe even those 'pillz 'n' house muzic' folk

this is the worst post i've read all year

[DomDom1984]

Deadmau5 wouldn't just close. Surely big enough headline that stage outright.

What are you on about? BMTH have a broader fan base than Frank Turner, and when they played 5th down in 2013 they got a got a big crowd (larger than Deftones and NIN combined that year) and they've only gotten bigger with more mainstream attention and if we're gonna use those categorise I say BMTH fit into more and that is only helped by the mainstream attention they're getting and they'll easily be a sub when the new album comes out

[conroy17]

ok, ok, ok

still don't think BMTH are big enough to sub though

[nickybu]

BMTH are big enough to sub if Jake Bugg is. We just don't want BMTH to sub.

[Andre91]

Don Broco pretty much confirmed they are going to be doing R&L this year tonight on the Kerrang! Tour in Leeds. Rob said, "We will see you again soon, we may be playing a festival in August in Leeds... That's all we can say for now". So I'm happy with that

It may look like that I'm making the argument that BMTH are big enough to sub, but I don't think big enough either (well until 2016)

[dentalplan]

That mouldy chestnut.

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Almost forget Jake Bugg subbed sometimes, rarely comes up

JAKE BUGG PLAYED R&L LAST YEAR?!?!?

[Gucci Piggy]

If Jake Bugg can sub then surely Bring Me the Horizon can hehe
