So word from Chinstrap and Lee (he's back!) on official forums is Pantera pulled out to play their own shows. 

[The All Round Ball :|]

Never bee  to download but got my tickets for next year and excited. However I'm worried about clashes. For example, Metallica and Evanescence or with Simple Plan.

Or bring me and Ghost.

As someone who's never been, what are the clashes like? Are you able to see most of the bands you wanna see or is it bad clashes and difficult?

Like R and L with the double stage, there are no clashes and works quite well.

Edit: hoping that the bands I wanna see are main stage together. Like Evanescence to sub etc. Unlikely but yeh

Is the replacement on the leaked lineup or tba?

I’ve heard from a couple of reliable people that the second and main headliner won’t be clashing at all. They didn’t this year so I’m inclined to believe it. Would mean that we could all see Ghost and Bring Me comfortably which is great.

That would be ideal! So many good names I want to see 😄 thanks for the info 🙂

The more i listen to the bottom of this lineup the more i love it. Finally Download are giving a damn about the future of rock and metal

Haven't seen them say that yet.

Edit: said they were meant to be 3rd on Main on Slipknot day.

I hope that is the case, mainly cuz I really don't want Placebo to clash with Metallica or Slipknot!!

I did find it odd that they weren’t on the initial poster after they were announced for RaR on Thursday

But does Ghost clash with Architects? 😐

I believe this year there was about a 10min overlap between Main subs and Second headliners starting 🙂

If it follows the 2022 format, you'll be able to see main sub > second head > main head, as long as you get your running shoes on. Only ADTR had a wee bit of overlap.

How can this be real? It's 4 days next year, this has been done in someone's bedroom

Well Metallica are listed as playing twice, so there’s your fourth day. Not disputing that this could end up being fake, but I think it’s more likely to be real.

Would guess they pulled out before the draft was made?

I mean it adds up with the leaks and with the bands playing other fests that summer (or expected to be playing). Names missing are the ones you'd think would be missing cuz still got UK tour dates to come (like Lamb Of God, Halestorm, Nightwish)

It's very much real, it's just not the complete lineup yet.

Alter Bridge, Lamb Of God, Halestorm as missing logo bands i guess

who could replace Pantera as 3rd down before Parkway and Slipknot? maybe Sabaton?

AB and Halestorm is an odd one. Halestorm are now 2nd stage heads but are supporting AB on tour this year, and with both Ghost and Parkway playing similar slots in 2023, I reckon Alter Bridge are the next bump-up band for 2024 headliners.

Lamb of God is a yes according to the same guy that leaked most of this. Sabaton are too big for third but are doing 4 UK arenas in April anyway, cross them off.

Vocalist has sadly been diagnosed with cancer although it's an optimistic prognosis, so we'll have to wait and see if they manage to do this tour very soon.

If they need to call in a favour, you know Bullet For My Valentine are just a phone call away.

Alter Bridge and Halestorm will both be there this year

Sabaton may be too big for third right now and so are Nightwish
