So they chose to do their own thing. This is the main reason they’ve probably not done it. They want to come here and do a string of shows. Not one night in download.

In 2008 when Foo Fighters were playing their first stadium shows it might have been a frightening prospect but every tour since I'm sure it wouldn't have been an issue. I think the next tour will either be stadiums then Download in two years or stadiums and Download in one. There are no other festivals apparent for them to play next time they're here.

Eh!? if the foos are coming here they are doing stadiums. Download won’t let them do stadiums and download in the same summer. Or... if instead of not letting them, they just won’t book them. Huge risk of them not selling as many tickets as their fans will just go to the stadium shows. Edited June 25, 2020 by Matt42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think it's got to the point now where Download would be dumb as hell to enforce such a policy on acts like Foo Fighters. Regardless of their own shows, they'd be a huge ticket seller. But like dental says, if they want to do stadiums then Download is the logical next stop for them on the UK festival scene the following year what with there no longer being a breadth of options and them not long having done both R/L and Glastonbury. New album + stadiums next year - Download 2022 would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason why Foo's couldn't do stadiums in London & Edinburgh for example and still headline Download on the same run. But if it was a full UK stadium run then I can't see it.

They normally do a mixture across a two-year cycle though. So the full UK stadium tour could happen one year and Download could happen next. Or Download could happen with some other stadium shows and then more stadium shows the next. I really think they'd be willing to be flexible with the Foo Fighters though. They top the community poll ever year, right? It's not about selling day tickets to Foo Fighters fans, it's about drawing weekend sales from lapsed Download-goers or activating interest from folk who've always been curious about the fest but it's always been a bit too metal or something. It's the same with Reading and Leeds; I remember there used to be a thing about stadium shows meaning no R+L but - despite it being true of most headliners - they're willing to bend the rule when there' a big enough name.

I wasn't impressed with this year's lineup, either. The Sunday was the only day that really appealed to me, although there were a couple of good bands sprinkled on the other days. Much as I like SOAD, I think they are a boring booking however. Would still like to see them one day. The main change will be who replaces Maiden. A really good one could convince me to go for the weekend (Foo Fighters/BMTH/Biffy). But agreed, I thought this years lineup was disappointing (saying that, I personally thought 2019 was a poor lineup too, which is a shame, because I thought 2018 was unreal).

Spiral_Low Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 Don't 100% rule out Iron Maiden. Like yeah they said they couldn't reschedule festival dates. But they have left Download weekend free...could be the exception to the rule as would be odd of them to do a European tour and no UK date. Unless anyone has seen anywhere where they or Download specifically said no Download? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
