Guy on the DL forums who claims to have inside info is giving cryptic clues. He's confirmed Parkway headlining second stage, and has posted a picture of the Lipton logo which surely means Body Count ft Ice T. Also posted a man giving a woman flowers saying it's a second stage sub - no idea what it is. Whether he's full of shit I don't know

Forgot to mention the second stage sub was giving chocolate aswell as flowers - presumably down to this banger

I think the guys full of shit though - have no idea how these things work but I'd expect if you had a source they'd give you more than 4 completely random bands.

Not like predicting Parkway Drive to headline 2nd is putting your neck on the line is it?. Youd be pretty foolish to bet against them being booked in that slot at this point given their definitely around and the bands headlining. Predicting IceT and BabyMetal to play is pretty safe too. I dont blame the guy for trying it to be honest, hes probably got most of them eating out of the palm of his hand. There always going mad for the slightest bit of information over there.

Could Parkway possibly get a biggish main stage slot rather than a second stage headline one? I'd be interested to see how that'd go.

Yeah, they could play third down. With the production they have now, though, I think headlining second would suit them a little more.

It is exactly what this threads about - no idea why anyone took offence

Dunno about taking offence but when I read it it was a bit demanding and abrupt, borderline rude. There are ways of asking for things and that probably wasn't the best. Dealing with Germans can be a bit like this, you get used to it but don't expect it from Brits.

In other news Parkway Drive heading 2nd is good for them but not for me as I'll take all the headliners before them.

Ah, okay. Personally I didn't get that but not something worth dwelling on. 

Also in other news, I'd have thought BabyMetal would be too big for that slot. Didn't realise they sold out Wembley Arena

The kids that filled wembley arena mostly will still be at school for Download. It's still a climb up the card compared to their previous festival billings in the UK. Now most of us have seen them once and the novelty has worn off, hopefully people will lose interest. Especially if they are up against decent bands. That said, I'm not ruling out watching them this year but I'm thinking the main stage subs against them will be pretty strong.

That's what's weird about it imo. Every time they've played the UK it's earlier in the day on the main stage as just a bit of a spectacle for casuals. Plonking them on second stage against massive established rock bands is a move that suggests there'll be a lot of proper fans in attendance. I don't believe it.

Let's not forget that AC never wanted them at Download so I wouldn't put it past him deliberately engineering a humiliating crash and burn for them. Or maybe there are strange people who would rather go watch that over real music. Don't forget, people voted for Trump :)
