Serves Download right for booking a headliner who are on their second consecutive summer of playing festivals, after they didn't even headline R&L where they're a more suitable band. Awful booking from them and I have no sympathy. 

Katy Perry instead of Gaga is pretty disappointing, would be fun but I genuinely enjoyed Lady Gaga's big hits, Katy Perry would just be a laugh if there's nothing else on as I don't particularly like her songs.

I'd say Katy Perry has bigger bangers than Lady Gaga.

Musically, of course.

The Avalanches are Saturday according to their website. 

Yep, they are third from the top on West Holts behind Solange and The Jacksons. Add BadBadNotGood and Toots in there before them also

Yeah tbh Download if they were going to have them should have last year and it's Copping's must have the big big one's regardless of how many times that stops it. I agree that I don't think it's the best choice still and provided they sub at Glasto I'll forego a ticket and miss ADTR and AFI (new stuff is shite) tbh. SOAD appeals more now but only for 3 acts and they probably aren't worth the ticket price.

I'd have rathered Gaga but this is no less interesting to attend. Another that I'll but wouldn't pay for.

Ive not read all though this, stuck at work on this wonderful sunny day! Hey I'm wondering off, please tell me Biffy will be playing the same time as Ed..! No plan on seeing Ed, Biffy will be a fantastic option.

Sorry I didn't mean to be rude. I was just looking at the things in your post and looking at the OP and wondering where they'd all come from.

Okay, sorry for the overreaction.

Moderat will be playing on Sunday as they're in Netherlands and Italy on Friday and Saturday respectively. Not quite sure where they'll be but their live show is superb

[the wonderwhy]

Tah whoever's added Glass Animals on Thursday. I reckon that's just because Thursday is often considered the first day of the festival (as is Wednesday) & a lot of the band listings tend to just put the first day up when it comes to fests. 

Neil's got em down for Other stage anyways.

First Aid Kit have listed themselves for playing the Friday on their site.

Would be a good shout for one of the secret Williams Green Thursday sets too though, surely 

EDIT: if that's still a thing, idk, I wasn't paying much attention last year

Why is there Van Morrison on the Friday? Did I miss anything?

edit:

Also, I think Royal Blood can only do Friday. Since they're playing a UK dates on Thursday, and is also playing two German festivals over the weekend.

Last year's two were smaller, think it was maybe The DMAs and Rat Boy? Either way no one worth bothering about too much. Would be all over Glass Animals doing that slot though.

Flaming Lips are playing the Friday according to their website.

They're probably the two acts least likely to be clashing on the whole poster (aside from the ones where there place has been confirmed).

[Gucci Piggy]

Oi we should know by now that most acts who put festivals on their tour dates before days are confirmed just put the first day of the festival.

So First Aid Kit having Fri down is probs for this reason (they're in Scandinavia on the Wed and Sat so I expect Sun at Glasto).

That Google Doc has Moderat down for Sun cos their tour dates have other fests down for Fri and Sat, but the Fri date is Down the Rabbit Hole and they've probably just got Fri down cos it's the first day.

FAK listing has 21-25 June as the festival dates though so they haven't put the first day of the festival.

Well, first day of music. I assume they're told not to reveal their day or something so put the first day of music as standard or something?
