If we can salvage Django,Kendrick, Kanye, RTJ, D'Angelo, Jungle, and move JAMC..... add a sprinkling of SFA, a shake of Jamie T and a soupcon of Teenage Fanclub.... I'll be happy with that. You can put whatever you want on for the rest of it.

It's not a bad attempt. Top two Friday is ace, I think Iggy is more likely to sub Other if he plays Friday. James Bay for me rings of the Jake Bugg slot on Pyramid a couple of years back, maybe I'm wrong there.

CFATB there would be perfect.

Great Effort, not sure I can see Rita Ora being that high ( maybe the jessie j slot of a few years back?)

That Blur Chems clash would be horrid (Blur would normally take it hands down but hot chip into chems certainly changes things)

Then could see any of the headliners on the sunday

I'd take that in a heartbeat. Although the Kanye/Alt-J/B&S three way clash would be a toughie.

lol, but interesting

also no tay tay?

Nah. Would be mildly amusing if Kanye, Taylor and Beck were on the same bill but I really don't think Taylor will be there with it being four days in a row.

Great Effort, not sure I can see Rita Ora being that high ( maybe the jessie j slot of a few years back?)

That Blur Chems clash would be horrid (Blur would normally take it hands down but hot chip into chems certainly changes things)

Yeah the Other/Pyramid clashes aren't great as they're the ones that I think might have the most crossover each time but alt-j can only do Sunday and if they headline Other then Chems can only do Saturday in the same slot so it all forces itself into place.

Rita Ora had a slot about 4th down Pyramid two years ago so I reckon subbing Other would be fine.

Needs more Ride and Patti Smith

I tried to fit either in but couldn't so kicked them out. I wonder if Patti could do the Acoustic stage or if she's too big a deal.

    • I think this is the most likely scenario, an extension to their off-site offering in some form.
    • It's been pointed out to me that Just Mustard have issued a new graphic with all their summer dates including the Saturday of EOTR, where I had them down for Friday. I can see AdP subbing or third down Woods in that case, but then (and remembering we lost one potential name in Lucinda Williams) that leaves a gap for a good Garden headliner...
    • My daughter had a really disappointing arrival experience at Download Festival 2026. After arriving by coach, she waited hours for transport, she was taken to the wrong place twice, then left waiting again because shuttles refused her without wristbands, even though she hadn’t been taken to the wristband point. Staff seemed unprepared and unhelpful, and the delay caused a serious pain flare-up for her and meant refrigerated medication could no longer be used. The tent is now leaking too due to someone breaking it. We’ve emailed a complaint and are asking Download to acknowledge what happened and make it right.
    • That said they're playing the festival on the Friday and need to play Manchester Psych Fest the next day.    Could they play late at night and still make it comfortably in time...hmmm
    • Any thoughts or theories on the secret set. I’m hoping for Dillinger.
