Have to say IMO no replacement for Motorhead is a cop out, you could do a tribute for Lemmy on the video screen before the headliners, sometimes its a hours wait, but that would cut into advertising time, so lets cut a replacement act, save us some money and do it then, when people will be walking around doing something else more likely. 

I wonder if they are still going to pay Motorhead their fee out of respect? 

More people would see the tribute if it was before the headline act and they know it, Im all for honouring Lemmy but there's ways of doing it. If they do have some kind of onstage musical tribute with a musicians then its a different story but if they just show a video then its bollocks.

I reckon there will be some acts involved. I can imagine Corey Taylor being involved somehow given how often both of them have played.

Well they reckon they're talking to Motorhead's management about a tribute, so that should entail something where the surviving Motorhead musicians are involved. No idea how well that'll work if Mikkey Dee is touring with Thin Lizzy but you get the feeling that Download don't particularly know what they're gonna do with it either so we'll see.

Andy has just tweeted that Maiden and Janes addiction DONT clash.

Great news for me

Couldn't see it somehow. JA will play the same slot that Shikari did pretty much. I'm hoping top 3 stagger so that Billy T don't clash with Nightwish but if so then it's Billy. An hour away so reckon I'll go.

Has he? I've seen him tweet saxon and maiden wouldn't clash (which i expected) but i didnt see that.

Guess it'll be the same sinario as yellowcard then shikari then kiss all staggered like last year then.

Anyone else think there is some odd placings this year? Breaking Benjamin seem really low, I'm not a massive fan but would've thought they'd be higher than that

same slot as 3 days grace. It will be a mental crush in there

They're not really that big. They'll get some extra interest since they don't do shows here, but they're not exactly megastars. I'd say their placing is fair enough.

I'm really considering a Saturday day ticket. Deftones, Atreyu, Beartooth, NOFX, Architects, Bury Tomorrow, Neck Deep, Anti-Flag, Black Peaks and SHVPES is a great lot of bands for me. 

Not in for the weekend then Andre? May turn up about 3pm on Sunday, Friday as lucky said is weak and shite and I didn't really expect anything to be added to Saturday for me anyway.

Probably right here tbf. The worrying positioning for a band in NOFX, closing 2nd is really bad, they are not a 3rd on main stage band.

My thoughts exactly. That added with the last 30mins or so of sabbath just so i can say I've seen them and I'd say that's  £80 well spent.

Plus there's still another 15 bands left to add to that day yet. That makes 3 excellent saturdays 3 years in a row now for me.

NOFX do seem like a small band for that spot. I thought they'd headline 3rd if they played. Plus, they'll probably clash with Deftones at least a bit, which is a bit disappointing. Not TOO disappointing, since Deftones is an easy choice having seen NOFX not long ago.

Not at the moment, I'm afraid! On the Friday I would want to see Heck, Killswitch, KoRn and Rammstein. The Saturday is absolutely stacked as I've already said, and on the Sunday I would only want to see Frank Carter, Don Broco and Billy Talent, so the whole weekend isn't looking like an option for me right now.

If it works out like last time and the staging isn't staggeres then Skindred are full on clashing with Deftones with NOFX starting between the finish of Deftones and the 1st half hour of Sabbath.

Yeah you're only really going to have clash free KSE Friday. Sunday for me is easily the best day, that being said I wouldn't actually bother attending Saturday until about 7pm lol or Friday at all, but that's just me.

Going by the early clash finder....i am fucked.

It won't go like that, look at the Download 2013 clash finder for Sunday and replace the bands on there with this year.

I'm not so sure that Sabbath withh avoid clashes as I think when Andy said Jane's wouldn't clash with Maiden, he'd have problem said all 2nd stage headers will finish before main stage headers. I'd use Sabbaths day in 2012 as an accurate enough guide.

    • 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
