Do day tickets go on sale at the same time as the weekends? My head's telling me they go on slightly after but maybe I'm misremembering 

Generally it’s a bit later. In fact it was 29 March this year before they went on sale

Doubt Offspring/Billy Talent/Bowling For Soup will be there cos of Slam Dunk, but the rest is pretty believable

Is there some substance behind the Prodigy Sunday slot or are these just guesses at the moment?

Just that they are touring.

There was something awhile back about Corey Taylor going to see them and raving about them too.

And one of the Download's in the past clashed Slipknot with Prodigy so having Prodigy then Slipknot is the kinda big deal that would fit a 20th anniversary.

Ah, I thought as much. I hope it transpires, I can only make Sunday this year and that would be about as good as a 1-2 as it gets for me

As good as it sounds, I’m worried The Prodigy would have to play in the daylight. Surely that takes the edge off their live shows a bit.

Saw them at T in 2015.

 

can confirm they need darkness

Including TOUCHE AMORE. Christ. Get them at Download, PLEASE. If Turnstile are there too.. this could be an unbelievable lineup. 

Yeah I was just thinking that, looking around at what’s available this could very well be a vintage year and I could definitely be tempted back to Download. I would rather 4 different headliners but if we’re potentially looking at some combo of Metallica (x2), BMTH, Slipknot, The Prodigy, Ghost, Evanescence, Placebo, Alter Bridge, Disturbed, Pantera, Halestorm, Turnstile and many more it could be very very good and a bit more than just the same old that Download usually offers

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
    • Blink-182 / Avril Lavigne / Good Charlotte / Neck Deep    Lamb of God / Malevolence      System Of A Down / Five Finger Death Punch / Skindred / Godsmack   Motionless In White / Poppy      Deftones / Gojira / Knocked Loose / President    Sabaton / Amon Amarth
