Steve1000 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) 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 Edited November 27, 2017 by Steve1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Parkway headlining second is perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1000 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 (edited) 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.

Pop Punk Sucks Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1000 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 I think Parkway will close second early sat. A pop punker vs Ozzy. Not sure about Avenged but someone older and not-so-metal would work best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Alice In Chains opposite A7X The Offspring opposite GNR (finishing early) Parkway closing out the weekend opposite Ozzy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chavmeisterdeluxe Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 Other one was Asking Alexandria. Again a pretty safe bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also in other news, I'd have thought BabyMetal would be too big for that slot. Didn't realise they sold out Wembley Arena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

devilman Posted November 27, 2017 Report Share Posted November 27, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashfromlondon Posted November 28, 2017 Report Share Posted November 28, 2017 Can I throw in a wild card here? Scorpions, subbing Ozzy... thet have a strong connection with Donington having appeared at the first Monsters of Rock and they're slowly being added to some festivals around the world including Stone Free in London, a week after Download...
