dentalplan Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 To be fair, Melvin Benn would probably say something similar to what Andy said. They'd currently require a more prominent slot from these festivals than the booker would be wise to give out, hence "I don't feel we have a suitable slot for them now".

polythene_girl Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 It was me that asked the Manics question and TBF i did mean this year specifically. I was typing quickly and shouldn't really have put the word ever in. He's already said he'd consider them if it was a heavy set like Holy Bible. I'm assuming (reading between the lines here) that they were never supposed to be still playing those shows come June since they've only just added the new dates and now that they are willing to continue there aren't any slots they could play in - lets face it they'd have to be top 3 on main or top 2 on 2nd really.

Moey Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 So - any thoughts on who will be announced ?? Should we be worried that it's on R1, in that the bands might be more R1 friendly than say somewhere like Planet Rock ? I'd like Alice Cooper ZZ Top Royal Blood Thunder Skunk Anansie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to lurk a fair bit on the DL boards. Really appreciate everything you do on there Although I was getting a bit of stick for leaking the first announcements on there haha.

It will be a typical download announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like Alice Cooper ZZ Top Royal Blood Thunder Skunk Anansie Royal blood would be good but Id imagine they would want to have a pretty high position now. Could sub the second stage I suppose. Quick question. How quickly do tickets sell out (if they ever do). Probably not going to buy a ticket until late Jan early Feb and I dont want to see them all sell out during the next announcement.

dentalplan Posted December 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I imagine Alice Cooper and ZZ Top would be too big for remaining slots now as well. Still loads of good stuff that could be announced though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF its a headliner then Zane Lowe normally gets it. If its not then its Dan Carter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not going to buy a ticket until late Jan early Feb and I dont want to see them all sell out during the next announcement. Earliest its ever sold out was March and even then they found more camping tix by renting more fields. I think you'll be fine, but keep an eye on the forums and Andy's Twitter as they normally give us warnings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rivalschools.price Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 Aaaaagggghhh!!!!!!!! Just realised that Wales are playing Belgium on the Friday of Download. I know you England fans are used to this sort of thing but I thought that being welsh meant you avoided silly things like World cups and Euro championships that clash with Festivals. I've got tickets to both,been to Donnington 11 times and haven't missed a Wales home qualifier for 21 years. Something's gonna give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will probably head up to Download from Cardiff on the Friday night.My decision has been made slightly easier by the whole Slipknot/black stone cherry repeat from last year. Not sure how easy it will be to get a Cardiff to derby train in a Friday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how easy it will be to get a Cardiff to derby train in a Friday night. the last train from Cardiff that would be able to connect with a train to derby leaves at around quarter past 8 so I'd say impossible to do that night. The following morning will be fine though :L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
