The Wonder Years as the final avalanche headliner? Would make sense then being held back and announced after their tour finishes.

Hmm. They’re on a co-headline tour with Mayday and they only subbed when they played the Avalanche last year so I’m not sure that TWY would headline. 

I’m going to guess Deaf Havana. They have a tour that wraps up the tail end of March so would make sense being held back.

Oh didn’t realise that about Deaf Havana, yeah that makes more sense. Slam Dunk for both of them then? That lineup doesn’t have much in the way of modern pop punk yet.

I reckon Wonder Years might be at 2000 trees. Loved it last time they played and Trees are putting on their Bristol gig for the 2nd tour in a row.

I don't think they'll be back in the UK Until 2020 - The singer is having a baby in late march.

Any ideas on who might get added on Monday? Seems to only be about 20 or so slots left to fill. 

I reckon Vein will be, but that’s not much of a big deal. Maybe one of the Good Charlotte supports? 

I’m hoping for Fucked Up, they’ve finished their tour now and are around at the time, but I doubt I’ll get them.

EDIT: Killswitch on Saturday main?

Arch Enemy have some days free in their tour schedule so can see them doing Download and maybe a couple UK/Ireland dates alongside it.  Currently have dates up until 9th June then from 29th June onwards. Would guess 2nd stage lowish down. But other than that any US band at Nova Rock that weekend is a decent shout. Testament and Ministry I think are a maybe for the fri or sat. As currently they both start their European tour dates on the sun at nova rock. Logically you'd think they'd come a day or 2 earlier to do Download first.

I actually think that the lineup is quite weak lower down this year. Yeah, the top is great with Slipknot, Trivium, Tool, LoG, Pumpkins, Slayer etc but lower down there’s a real dearth of quality for me. 

It's looked so much better in some previous years imo, 4/5 acts on the poster I'd bother with. I know it's not hugely my scene but i still had about 10 in 2016, less so last year.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
