I still think Evanescence could be a shout. 

Why?

Who is everyone expecting for second stage headliners then? I'm going for Bullet For My Valentine, All Time Low and Volbeat. 

 

I think it could be Alice Cooper against Rammstein. Bullet against Deftones. All Time Low/ Dropkick Murphys against Nightwish.

I think volbeat, within temptation and BFMV, although killswitch have a new album next year so they'll be somewhere. I think either them, volbeat or BFMV will be the final BOA headliner. 

 

Don't Volbeat already have 3 festivals that weekend?

If anyone else wants upvotes just call gazza a fucking imbecile.

Yes but one of them is Thursday night. They are free Sunday after playing Paris on sat.

Would it be likely that they play 4 festivals in 4 different countries in a row.

Of course not as I didn't call you a fucking imbecile, I was just merely telling people they should but you have multiple accounts though so what do you spend all of your votes on?

As you said in your post, they subbed the second stage a few years ago so they're hardly the unknown band you're making them out to be.

I know, I just find it odd that I haven't heard of them before. Also I saw some girl wearing a Nightwish hoodie yesterday so I guess that is a sign telling me that they're big enough.

Erm... Guns N' Roses rumoured for Isle of Wight? Are you sure efests? Surely Download would pay Live Nation's budget for the next 30 years to secure them... if the reunion ever happened!

There are going to be a lot of angry Download ticket holders if this is true! Same weekend!

Paris to donnington is a pretty short commute. If they were playing somewhere like Poland on the Saturday I'd say it was less likely.

They're looking to be playing shows in 2016.

But a spot for them is taken.

[lightning1000]

They could easily headline 2nd although I personally don't think they will.

Please not Cooper against Rammstein ! I'm relying on him being against maiden or Sabbath so I have something decent to watch.

 

Would happily give volbeat a go though.

[Andburn]

Alice Cooper is UK Exclusive at the new O2 Festival the weekend after.

No it isn't. Unless you know that a spot was set aside and someone else took it.

Not like you to talk utter shite though.

They are an arena band, they would not have played below sub, they could just tour instead. The only reason I think ATL would still only head 2nd is being booked before the whole tour.

[dentalplan]

Slash played arenas and third down this year so get your stipulations outta here.

Do agree that Evanescence would get a higher slot than 2nd headline though. And it's alright that they're looking to play shows and all that but they haven't got any scheduled so far and the festivals that would have 'em around Download would've announced them by now.

I don't think Disturbed should sub but they have at least done a arena tour previous, but no they aren't that big. 

 

[mrtourette]

Predicted response  - Disturbed may have done an arena tour but they are not an arena band, so they can play below sub. Evanescence are an arena band therefore they would not play below sub

 

[Gucci Piggy]

You need to mix a few of the words around and add a few 'lmao's in there.

Something like - Disturbed may done an arena tour but not an arena band they are LMAO, so the can play below sub but probably not but maybe and Evanescence are an arena band but wouldn't play below sub but Andy will only book same metal bands as every other time haha lmao!

On a current bill that has Korn and Nighwish as subs, Evanescence would not play below. It was a much strong set of subs this year, it's not even worth debating. I'm not see subs on that Friday and Sunday especially look as weak.

Based on as luckysalt recently said that 2nd header is these days now acts that are closer to 3rd/4th place then yes I do agree. I'm unsure of their size outside of the UK much to be honest and there are a couple like RAR for eg that still announce larger bands later on but I think at least one had they been doing early summer probably would have.

[dentalplan]

This is how it's gonna go for the rest of the year:

1. Gazza 'sprouts' some bullshit
2. Someone/everyone else calls him out
3. Gazza distances himself from his bullshit and reiterates that Nightwish and Korn are weak
