Download 2015

[sjseabass]

I've fancied going to Download for a while, and nearly ended up volunteering this year (despite the crap - for me - lineup), but things have never fallen into place for me.

Slipknot and Muse (and Shikari to watch opposite Kiss) will get me there next year I think . Nice work Copping, fair play.

Would deaf havana really be so low down?

[lightning1000]

5th down on 2nd? Seems about right, if anything they might be a bit lower

[Babyquack]

I had the pleasure of seeing FFDP support A7X last year and I must admit, I was totally blown away. During one of the songs they literally had everyone shining their phone lights or lighters - the entirety of Wembley Arena all lit up with no stage lights for a support act is unheard of for me. They too were bloody excellent sounding.

I went in with low expectations, came out of it as a fan of the band for sure. I'd definitely recommend catching them al DL next year guys if there's no a band on anywhere else you're not dying to see.

[Moey]

Has anyone heard anything on Black Stone Cherry playing DL next year ? They appeared on quite a few peoples rumours / suggestions for the main stage, but nothing since.

If they did play, and didn't headline the 2nd as they did a couple of years back, then I would expect them to be fairly high up the bill on the main stage.

[lightning1000]

If they're playing, the only place I can think for them is 4th down on main for the Sunday. Can't see them fitting anywhere else

[lightning1000]

Ok so copping has announced an announcement for Monday.

That's Friday's bands. Saturday is on Tuesday and Sunday is on Wednesday.

Looking forward to finding out who else is playing

[Moey]

awesome.

Tickets back on sale on Friday then ??

[Andre91]

I don't think BSC would play any lower than 3rd down main, and with those filled I've taken that as they won't be appearing this year. Coming back in 2016 to sub is probably the next logical step, Copping loves them.

Everyone seems to have taken that these bands are actually playing. I only know of 3 that are almost certain to play, the subbing slots and other stages are purely speculation. Aren't they?

I also do think that Motley Crue will sub KISS, should they be announced. ;-)

Nope.

[Sparticus]

Nope.

Lucky, have you posted what you know yet? If not, drop me a pm. After being right about soni/leeds last year you're clearly talking to the right people!

[rockdave73]

Is there any possibility that it could be a Kiss/Def Leppard co-headliner?. The Leps are doing fests in Europe around that time.

[Andre91]

No.

I hope not.

It was posted yesterday, but it is was a post by lightning1000 but Lucky confirmed it

I'd roughly say -78%

Yes they are. Andy confirmed it on his Twitter

[cravenbang]

So I are the bands that are playing third down definately right? I only ask because They are probably the three bands I want to see the most. although there are others.

Oh right, cheers lightning.

[luckysalt]

Interesting one here, some people are moaning about the repeat booking of slipknot 2 years later, not as much as expected but it's there.

Do we think Andy could have booked them as headliner to protect their headline status, let's face it there isn't many modern metal headliners, he wasn't very happy when System chose to play Reading as sub the other year, do we think Slipknot may have been offered the same deal had they not got the download gig, thus weakening their status.

I also wonder would Andy reinstate System to headliner have they release a new album and download was the first UK show to hear it.

Just something I was thinking about on train whilst listening to slipknot and system

[Matt42]

Nah Slipknot are much bigger than system, just how I see it.

No way System could sell out the tour Slipknot are doing and play download same year.

Slipknot were booked again as a safe booking solid booking, no other way about it really.

[Andre91]

And it's one less potential headliner for Soni.
