Andy might clear this up tonight I imagine.

Is there anyone who clearly looks big enough to play third?

[Red Day]

Doesn't sound that exciting. Any classic bands being announced . Take it the bands are lesser lights making up lower stages ??

It sounds like the bands are Rammstein, Sabbath and Maiden cost a packet!

Of course they did! 

As I said though I think the line up is great. All about taste and also not being unrealistic.

That's got from pretty strong evened out to great quite quickly ;P. All I want is another band or two for Sunday and I'm sorted. See if I can round 3/4 people up to make that disgustingly pricey parking ticket for a day cheap as well.

While we're being realistic though, there is only a smaller portion usually at this fest that interests me and while I've been twice for a weekend, there was probably too many 'sit through' at the side gaps as it's not exactly the quickest turn around job from arena to tent and back to arena (especially if you don't pay extra for 5 days).

2 Second Stage headliners tonight, Sat and Sundays.

And none of the three you suggested Andre.

The announcement I think tonight seems weak, but when you see the line up on a whole afterwards I think it evens out as pretty strong. Of course everyone wont be happy.

Friday on a whole is still pretty weak however in my eyes, across the stages. Needs beefing up for sure.

Ooh that's got me very intrigued now! I'm assuming that none of them have been announced so far? So bands like Skindred and Billy Talent won't be confirmed as Second headliners tonight?

Pretty Strong is what I think people will see the download line up on a whole as

Great is MY personal opinion.

Jesus you're hard work.

[DomDom1984]

That wasn't ever likely I don't think.

[DomDom1984]

Oh, and imagine having to explain that you're posting your opinion. That's a full blown red face for whoever can't work it out for themselves.

To be fair you didn't give a direct view of what you thought until a 2nd post, only towards what you feel others will think which is why I jokingly said that's gone from pretty strong to great. There wasn't anything bad or anything etc meant with the comment so not sure how you get that, but either way, we shall see.

[Red Day]

Who ?? Dpc went thru that pretty quickly

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I'm guessing NOFX are a 2nd stage headliner? Not a fan myself

[Red Day]

Never really listened to them but that song was generic pop punk

It wasn't generic pop-punk when they released it though

[Red Day]

Fair enough. Janes addiction , nice one

Cheers for heads up. Agreed it's not a particulaly exciting announcement. Some good stuff but a lot of filler

[she bangs the drums]

Janes Addiction is a good booking for Download, was gutted when they pulled out of Leeds a few years back. 

[thegremlin_1999]

Janes, Amon Amarth, Graveyard.  Hope they're all there on the Sunday (just have a day ticket).

Few other fun bits too!

[Moey]

AAF, crikey.

 

Headlining 2nd?

No. I'd have thought headlining 3rd more likely.

[JSmurphy]

How are Alien Ant Farm still a thing in 2016??

[luckysalt]

Multi quote isn't an option anymore so.

Janes and AA are Sun, Gremlin Fri

AAF are main stage. Friday.

[Moey]

Who are the 2 headliners then, as per lucky ?

[luckysalt]

NOFX and Janes

[SOAD]

Assuming Jane's headlining second Sunday. If so would they clash with Maiden or Nightwish? Any news if second isnt clashing with main headliner again? Would rather JA clash with Maiden than Nightwish tbh as don't want to miss Jane's or Nightwish
