Rock am Ring are yet to announce the headliner there. Might be wrong though... Unless you're a die hard Metallica fan, so far (for me) RaR probably looks a bit better than Download even with all German bands I don't care about. This is of course at the moment and things will change with the next announcement. Still, I think this year Download have a real chance to have the second best metal line up in Europe (Hellfest) which would be a big thing. It would've been too easy to "open the old dusty closet" and add the Motley Crew/Def Leppard combo present at Copenhell, GMM etc. but for the first time in years they didn't which is very refreshing. Looking forward the next announcement and the day separation. Could come as early as next week though the following is more likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea on the mah they use? Between the wife and I, we need at least one fully charged phone in case any issues back home with kids. I do have a handful of chargers but nothing great. Seems better idea than locker maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Refresh retreat locker's only £2 more to not carry around a 2nd phone and power bank all day every day, worth looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewayiam Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 A week tomorrow and I think we will have the next announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 Malevolence should be on the Main Stage. They spanked Manchester last night on the Trivium tour. There are very few bands who can go on after them and do it justice. Heaven Shall Burn were blown off the stage. I’d love to see Trivium open the Main Stage with a special one hour slot as a nod to their legendary 2005 performance. Would be a cool way of acknowledging such a massive moment in DL’s 20 year history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to sweeten the deal…maybe a whole run through of ascendency? it’s 55 minutes long, could easily be done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can have Frank Carter open Reading main stage you can have Trivium open Download's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but I think they would be regarded as a big enough draw to try and get in the second one. Plus I suspect Jinjer and maybe BFMV will be on the bill and their tour is end of Feb/early March and then Lamb Of God is March. Can see those bands being in a final announcement. So would make sense to have one end of Feb first with Gojira and Halestorm and Alter Bridge and then a final one with Jinjer and Lamb Of God.

theesundayroast Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Just had an email to say that my Ice Nine Kills date (10th March) has been pushed to the 1st June although it doesn't seem to have been announced on socials yet. May be way off the mark but can only assume they've signed on for a few EU festival dates possibly including Download so pushing pack their tour to align with them.

justanothername Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 Gojira are playing in Sweden on the Thursday and Poland on the Saturday that weekend. Could either so Friday or Sunday.

If they are having a day space between Sweden and Poland then no chance of Download a day before or after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
