I appear to have been blocked and content deleted from the main DL forums for suggesting that Rainbow might appear at Rambling Man Fair in July. I really hope it's true.

looks like it wil be rambling man but I'm crossing fingers and toes for the steelhouse festival to have beaten em to the booking

Lots on there I do want but Refused aren't one. They weren't that great at Leeds. The best bit was standing with We are the Ocean during their set. They seemed to be really into it though.

Did you see them at Download the other year? Refused smashed it then, they were fucking awesome.

Yes I did. Well my pals tell me I was there. I don't remember it. Beer is awesome.

Would love to see Joe Satriani. Not sure it's DL material though - a bit like Bonamassa.

If he's there I'll be watching. You don't often get to see proper real talent. I really enjoyed Bonamassa too.

Really? I thought they killed it at Leeds. Probably my 2nd favourite act of the weekend after American Football

So Rainbow announce one off gig in Birmingham two weeks after Download. So strange he's gone for that.

This reeks of a diva-esque ego digging its feet in. Aye well, I'm out. Too much on June/July to make the trip down again. He's good but it's essentially a tribute band that can't make up its mind which band it's covering. Would have been great for a sing along at a festival but not worth the cost otherwise.

can't ever see biffy headlining download festival . IMO

of course they will. they headlined reading and leeds. and they deserve to. great band, with metal credentials that would put many of the crowd to shame. they were the hardest working band in the country on their way up. I'm not as in love with them as I was on the first few albums, but I would never deny them their success.

    • TVOD are playing Blue Basement in London 2/9 with a complete EOTR/Psych Fest shaped hole before their next gig in Lyon on 8/9. Well received in the Big Top last year, reckon they're nailed on for a secret set in the Tipi.
    • Didn't they widen the entrance last year to enable them to increase the number of pitches or have I imagined this? Perhaps they might return under a different form of glamping? 
    • It should forever be the Tipi.   Just as the news about Geese was shared on Twitter.
    • It really surprised me that Rock AM Ring made Download feel like an extremely well organised festival with good communication in comparison. If we were to ever try either of them again we would go for IM Park and stop in Nuremberg.     Agree that the long thin mainstage isn't great, but where the mainstage is makes it really hard to navigate when it is busy because of that choke point created by the food vendors, bar/lounges with a view of main and where the crowd is coming form second stage. The concrete is hard on the joints. The front standing is a pisstake and the communication from the fest about what is happening on site other than which campsites are filling up leaves a lot to be desired. Car parks being a free for all doesn't help either.   I think it really suffers being so far from anything other than small towns/villages that lack proper public transport and Koblenz being the closest town which you can can use to get public transport to the fest being 60km away.
    • Yeah its absolutely on me that isn't think Shinia Twain was an awful choice- i get that.  Im still of the paul simon, ELO kind of thoughts but I realise things change. Im still intrigued what constitutes legend though. Robert plant played and he wasn't a legend slot- to me that would have fitted. Is it a ' comedy ' ' good time ' slot now? Comedy isn't the right word - guilty pleasure or something like that?
