Anyone else reckon ADTR will do a secret slot as they are in London for Kerrang awards show on the Thursday? 

[DomDom1984]

Speaking of which, has anyone actually heard anything about secret acts this year?

If you mean Afraid of Heights the it's shite by their standards and Billy Talent III was fair poor. Not a scratch on 1 and 2. They wey went too cheesy and it didn't work.

See im another Billy Talent fan of a different opinion, for me III was their best work, followed by II then I, I absolutely HATED the last album apart from the lead single. The new track I've only listened to once and I thought it was poor on first listen. 

Everyone has their own opinions though eh?

Ah yes III was okay I guess in parts but Dead Silence was rubbish.

They do, I agree.

I felt they were trying to hard to be like Muse. I REALLY hated it.

[DomDom1984]

Dead Silence has it's fair duds, but there's stuff I love on there. Stand Up and Run will always be a favourite song of mines from them.

On another note, I've only just listened to Skinny Lister. They suddenly have become a priority.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Final acts just added. InMe the biggest name on it.

[luckysalt]

They also announced the comedy line up pretty much all the village entertainment and  hinted that NXT Takeover will be shown live on the Wednesday in the village and announced new Download exclusive beer.

They'd have made a cracking early main stage act for me. Disappointed that they're high on 4th.

Is it too early to talk about the weather??

Apparently Copping has said there are a few more bands coming but no secret sets.

Hey, what about a last ever,ever, EVER, Funeral for a Friend show.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I'd hope not to be honest, Saturday night was so special,not sure it could be topped.

Not that I disagree... But would it not ruin the secret if he did say?

[deadash321]

A down vote just for suggesting a band might play? What a cruel world we live in! I also think Lonely the Brave may be added. New album last week, finishing off a UK tour at the moment, Andy seems to love them and they're playing a small East Midlands festival on the Sunday of Download. 

[DomDom1984]

Lonely the Brave would be a fine addition but would add another headache probably. Mixed feelings about that as a potential addition.

Yeah but this is the festival that last year announced its secret acts in advance!

[luckysalt]

Difference is last year sales were lower, so saying there's some secret acts leads to interest.

This year, sales are way up, have you not noticed that they haven't really given a shit promoting for months, because sales were already that high. there's no need for cheap promotion and teasing and hinting at something that won't come to pass this year. The only thing has been the Motorhead slot and even then, months in advance they've said no replacement and its a 20 min video. Other years they would have said undecided right up until the event and then said no replacement OR there would have been a replacement.

If there's going to be a secret act its cus they've reached out to Download and asked to do it, otherwise why bother. 

Sales are that strong this year.

Savage Messiah and Moses just added

Here's an up vote for you as they apparently aren't completely meaningless to you
