The S is just for Slam Dunk Headliner which is what's in the app

I think it's going to be a bit bigger than Sum 41, I can see them on the 2nd biggest stage. The Jagermeister Stage will surely be bigger this year if the Fireball is returning.

From Twitter:

Don Broco headlining with 10 others - State Champs, The Wonder Years, Mayday Parade, Motion City Soundtrack, Four Year Strong, Knuckle Puck, Ice Nine Kills, Bayside, Issues and Hand Like Houses. 

Love Don Broco and know some of Four Year Strong, any other recommendations as don't really know the rest?

^there's not much to get me excited from that announcement.

[Jericode]

Holy shit that's a great first announcement for me.

Motion City Soundtrack are amazing!

Take Don Broco out of the announcement and that would be a class first announcement.

Yeah that's a shit 1st announcement for me, 1 band I'm bothered about now in all of that.

Was a little lacklustre for the first headliner, fingers crossed for all the other stage headliners!
Rest of the line up they've killed it though!

I'm the same - reckon that they are trying to hook the younger tastes first with that set of bands.  Looks like a lot of decent medium sized names, but none to appeal to the PiD crowd.  Hoping they have something up their sleeve.

They nearly always announce the Fireball-esque stage on it's own don't they? There wasn't likely to be anything in the first announcement for the stage.

Aye, usually Impericon and Fireball stage get announced in full as their own announcements.

Quite like that announcement. Huge Broco fan, state champs were great at download this year. Wonder Years and Four year strong put on good shows and Hands Like Houses have some catchy tunes

[Fleetwood_Mac_And_Cheese]

This might be the dullest Slamdunk first announcement I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure half of the roster played in either '17 or '16? The only temptation so far is Motion City Soundtrack at a push.

Also please tell me prices aren't going to be staying the same as they were this year with Don Broco headlining?

the first "early bird" tickets are the same price as last year - the rest will be more expensive.

Happy with knuckle puck and The wonder years but that’s about it. 

[she bangs the drums]

Hopefully the next announcement is better as not a fan of Don Broco, and can take or leave the rest of the band. I guess there is a long way but very underwhelming.

Who are we thinking for second headliner? Sum 41/Shikari/Architects perhaps?

I think it’ll be someone headlining the heavier stage that BFMV headlined last year. I would love it to be The Ghost Inside but I’m going for WSS being announced after their Brixton show.

Brian Fallon has just announced a UK tour for the end of May...

 

 

EDIT: he’s playing in London on Saturday 23rd so it looks unlikely. (Could still do just the Hatfield date though)

I'm just happy with The Wonder Years and FYS and Knuckle Puck are decent for me as well. Wouldn't mind seeing State Champs or Broadside either if nothing else was on.

Two people have posted on the Download forums that they’ve heard some rumours about the lineup: 

1. The Wonder Years doing The Upsides in full 

It hasn't been confirmed yet but that's the logo for the upsides isn't it...

WSS and Beartooth to do the Jagermeister would be mental.

Can see main stage looking like:

Don Broco / Frank Carter / Bowling For Soup / State Champs

Don't tease me like this, The Upsides in full would be just perfect!

Are we thinking Creeper for this as it looks like they're making a comeback so assume an album will be coming.

Tickets go up in price after this weekend so thinking another announcement could be on the horizon soon
