I'm sure you like silly music too but is it because it's not a Download traditional type act it gets looked down on? Rock am Ring booked them, and they sell every year so don't actually need to
Andy going and being replaced is the best thing that could have happened to Download, someone fresh to mix it up a bit rather than just a complete rotation. The only reason Andy booked ST in ti headline too was because he loves them and he was going on to manage them.
Nah, Andy booked FOB in a year where over 20 acts were asked, I'll guarantee if they get Blink and having had Green Day they did not need 20 bands to come to those. FOB are also not one that have been booked in Europe to headline by anyone other than Reading as co-headliner as far as I can see. They weren't a ooh god yes they've booked FOB.
I think it's just a slight shift in target audience of the festival, Andy also booked FOB
A lot of young people (me included) are nostalgic for the 2000's pop punk and nu metal rather than the 80's legacy bands
It's just the festival moving with the times I think Andy would of done the same
Although they are still booking some legacy acts like GNR but that doesn't seem to have gone well ticket sales wise
Trent said he’s working on new Nine Inch Nails musicnand that Coachella was the farewell show for Nine Inch Noize.
Would be over the moon to have any of the options at Prima 2027, though
