Andre91 Posted July 1, 2020 Report Share Posted July 1, 2020 I made some comments on here a few weeks ago about how if Download 2021 is going to largely be 2020's lineup, 2022 is the year that they should really start to look towards the future and give lots of bands their first big slots at the festival (whilst having some favourites still), as well as freshening up the Main and Zippo stages with some younger, exciting acts rather than tucking them away on the third and fourth stages all the time. I am assuming that Maiden is the headliner that Andy has verbally secured, so I've included them. Also, it would have been 6 years since Maiden headlined come 2022. I've included both formats as I prefer the second one but i find it much harder to read clearly than the black and grey background, particularly the Dogtooth Stage. Anyway, here's the lineup I would book for 2022 if I was in charge of things: 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, here's the lineup I would book for 2022 if I was in charge of things: I don't think there's any chance of two new headliners like BMTH and FFDP being booked in the same year. Hell, it seems like it's gonna be an uphill struggle just to get one new headliner topping the festival at this stage. I also guarantee that if the usual suspect headliners are touring in 2022 then they'll be booked first above any new headliners who may lessen ticket sales. Looking at who's not been on the road or at Download for a couple of years now, I could easily see Avenged Sevenfold, Rammstein, and even Metallica being on the road to play alongside Iron Maiden. Here's hoping Copping has his hand forced and finally gives somebody a bump up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes please for next year. Their last album was solid. I would guess low down Main or mid Zippo. Edited July 2, 2020 by Andre91 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously we now know Billy Talent are back are SD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll forget that I attended days at Leeds recently and I've attended Slam Dunk. And let's be honest, once you've attended Download for two/three years, you've attended it for the next 10 basically.

Eh? What I’m saying that you haven’t liked any festival lineup enough to camp at it for god knows how long, so you’ll always find fault with lineups.

I'm not always going to 'find faults' with lineups because I haven't camped for ages. I have said that I haven't liked a lineup enough to go for a weekend to two festivals I used to, one being a target audience way below my age which is my choice and I'm not obliged to spend money I don't see the need. If you have a problem with me just liking a particular day enough to go then that's your problem and it can continue being so while I enjoy it. You both called me out when I last camped at a festival last and got shut up as it was only last June. Grow up a little, criticising people who wouldn't go to a weekend of bands you would is pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
