Jericode Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Panic are absolutely bigger than FOB now, Brendon Urie's killing it. I'd argue they'd do a way better headline set than FOB at Download too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Panic looked outstanding at Reading this year on the BBC coverage. I can't see them or FOB playing at DL though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Panic won’t play Download. Their older material fit just fine but they only play one song from that era and the rest is pure pop tunes. Not a chance at DL I don’t think.

rivalschools.price Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I was at Reading this year and FOB had a tiny crowd. Didnt watch them but took this photo from the bar on the left hand side as you look at the main stage This was about halfway through their set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffy had more than that in 2016 against The 1975 and FOB had more than Biffy as their nominal co-headliner that year. Oooof. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Their crowd was about the same at Leeds. I walked right to the front barrier mid way through their set like I was watching a band at 2pm. They were really good, though. I was surprised by the setlist. Lots of older material so I had a good time. Edited October 16, 2018 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radi0Head Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Just checked in here for this first time. I like what I’m seeing. Seems we already have a good pool of potentials many of which I’d like to see. Quite surprised FOB didn’t draw a bigger crowd at R/L didn’t thing the clashes would be too popular though the other acts on (wolf alice and Annie mac) did lean toward a younger crowd. I myself was at wolf Alice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was FOB's second headline slot in a fairly short space of time, and so was the Biffy one you've just mentioned. I don't doubt that this played a part.

Red Day Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) That's the tickets off sale now. Hopefully get an announcement soon . Think first announcement last year was a week after the early birds came off sale Edited October 16, 2018 by Red Day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Believe this is Download weekend. New festival in Spain. According to the announcement it is one of only four festivals that Rainbow are doing, so it might work out for Download - I recall they were trying to get them in the bag at one point a couple of years back. Also Opeth I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Day Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Didn't Copping get a bit pissed off with Blackmore when he tried to book him a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't heard as much but it sounds about right. At a guess, Blackmore is probably all about the headline slots and is more willing to turn up at Rock the Coast, Stone Free, Stone Rock, Free the Coast and other smaller affairs than play second fiddle at Download/Hellfest. Kinda talked myself out of that suggestion now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radi0Head Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 New Slipknot album out next year + world tour. Surely they'll be stopping off at Donnington for a slot? Not sure if this is new or old news but I'm pretty excited about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RarerThanDandyB Posted October 17, 2018 Report Share Posted October 17, 2018 My prediction for Download 2019: Def Leppard (Hysteria) Slipknot Muse Def Leppard would be the slightly weaker booking but playing hits would make it a great set. Slipknot potentially doing a world tour next year feels to me like a Download booking and would put on a great show and finally Muse, I feel the stadium tour and a few festivals will mean they come to Download. I think they will play TRNSMT and an English festival. Leeds has been done too soon, likewise Glastonbury. Download was 2014 last time they played so 4 years ago and would put on a show. Could see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
