It was the way he seemed to refer to one of the greatest bands as something merely for a singalong

Not at all, I'm not a huge fan and have seen them but while I have a day ticket there is worse I could do that watch them. That PR thing must have been wrong on Kerrang as I doubt there is a place to book them, unless they are Sunday 2nd stage headers. What makes me question if KE are a 2nd stage sub is that TA would do the same slot, so KE are either heading it or same spot on main again.

I think if you've seen Maiden before, and are maybe looking for something else, then for a singalong is probably as good a reason as any. Certainly, I probably won't go see them if there's something really good to be had that night, having seen them do a wonderful set on the Death on the Road tour.

Not too bad of an announcement. Really like the additions of Frank Carter, Neck Deep, Ho99o9 (who I missed for Foals at Leeds and are playing the same day as The Story So Far in Manchester) and Architects. Would also probably see Twin Atlantic, Milk Teeth, Skindred and Don Broco if I went.

Tempted by the day ticket for Saturday but I wish Frank Cart and Ho99o9 were playing that day but oh well. Will have to wait for stage splits though to see how bad the clashes are

are Architects a sub for second stage? They mentioned in the Radio 1 interview that they were really happy in their slot and it was a big thing for them to be playing "that high". 
 

They didn't confirm a position but I think they could do it. It's either sub or 3rd down, I think.

I would imagine lower as Skindred can do that slot too. At least 2 of the additiona could be 2nd stage headers.

I'm really hoping Parkway Drive are second stage headliners on the Saturday. A run of Architects > Skindred > Parkway Drive would be real nice.

I could go and catch Deftones whilst Skindred are on :ninja: 

Also, I read on the DL forums that Rancid and Dropkick Murphy's are going to be playing too? Has anyone (luckysalt) heard anything about that?

are architects clashing with Deftones then?

Sam said on the Rock Show on Sunday when they got announced that they are playing the second stage, and also something along the lines of them being glad that they are getting to play "later on when everyone has had a few beers" so I'm assuming that they will be either third down or subbing second.

Luckysalt said a while ago they Rancid wasn't happening, although I'd admit they are maybe the only band I'd make a decent effort to be there Saturday for.

Saxon headlining third on Sunday, just before Maiden so no alternative from that stage that night at least.

That makes sense really; serves as a warm up for the old school metal fans as opposed to Nightwish and stuff but I don't think they'll knock both 2nd and 3rd stages on the head before 9pm.

Hm both are bad tbh :/ See my fav band or a band I haven't seen yet

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury
