Give BMTH the headline slot. Otherwise, it's another missed opportunity in the annals of pushing bands up to headline.

They simply aren't big enough. They appeal to a certain section of the alternative community which they are huge in and that allows them to do big shows.  But outside that section they are actively disliked, they just dont have enough crossover attraction.

Gonna be dead upset if Pumpkins only UK show next year is a sub slot to stinky Tool.

After Slayer, one of Greta VF, Smashing Pumpkins or Slaves and my ticket is purchased.

Not a fan of Tool?

[gabrielomachado]

Pumpkins for Rock Am Ring, i guess we're gonna have them too. Maybe today's announcement will be them and Slayer with their supports (Lamb Of God and Anthrax, maybe Behemoth)

put Die Antwoord on 3rd down and mainstage on sunday is the best place to be in donington in the whole weekend

 

also that sequence: Die Antwoord - Pumpkins - Tool looks a pretty lot like Reading Festival (not complaining, i really loved it)

YOO where?

[gabrielomachado]

Encore stage on sunday must be pretty metal oriented, mainstage will be the most alternative download ever got since that 2005's "indie day"

Loving this line up

[KingPin]

Slayer into Slipknot and Pumpkins into Tool is fricken amazing, very happy with that 

Miles better than last year IMO.

To be honest I loved the line up this year, particularly the 2nd and 4th stages,  but next year is shaping up very nicely.

Zippo Encore was amazing this year, mainstage not. i guess Guns N'Roses drained all the money for great bands on main lol

Oh yeah I thought the other stages was great, but Mainstage was lacking badly imo, and this is already shaping up to be a stronger main.

[Xeph1995]

Smashing Pumkins to Tool is literally a dream for me! take my money

[gabrielomachado]

The worst thing about 2018's lineup it's how many great bands were touring around but did not ended up playing. We had Stone Sour, A Perfect Circle, Alice In Chains, Deftones, Hollywood Vampires, Limp Bizkit, Megadeth and Judas Fucking Priest but none of these played, instead we got Thunder 3rd down on mainstage and Hell Is For Heroes subbing ZE.

Think as you say, that could well have been down to the cost of having GnR there.  I didn't watch a lot on the main this year but thought Zippo was exceptional

[Xeph1995]

Its like this year is making up for last year being terrible 

[Andre91]

Fuck me. FUCK ME. YES. 

[RarerThanDandyB]

I HAVE BOUGHT A TICKET, SEE YOU AT DONINGTONNN.

The Friday is very disappointing so far, but that Fridays and Saturday is one of the best.

[Gucci Piggy]

Give us Tool / Smashing Pumpkins / Die Antwoord / Alice in Chains / Opeth cheers.
