As predicted, Skindred have replaced FFDP

[binge.to.bopo]

Not like Benji hinted at this ages ago 🤣 so we all knew it was coming, we just didn't wanna believe it ha 

[TKOCF]

It’s uninspired but I’ve never not had a good time at a Skindred festival set.

Will probably be at Mom Jeans/Perturbator instead though.

Sunday now marked as "pissing it down dusk til dawn" on BBC 🤣

Wouldn't even bother looking at a forecast until Weds minimum honestly but pack for rain and shine! 

[49Lawson]

Timetable now live on the app. I’ve had a glance and I think it’s all come up fairly solid for me. Cannot wait for next Wednesday now! 

[kjvffm]

Whoever decided to overlap Electric Callboy with Slipknot so heavily is a big old muppet

[Alex Winstone]

If you have a day ticket for one of the days can you still enter District X?

No because it's in the camping area. I mean you could try sneak in, wouldn't have been difficult last year as barely anyone checked wristbands on the way back in to camp.

[nc90]

😩 anyone not got there mobile ticket from Ticketmaster yet?I'm stressing now

[Paul ™]

Onsite tomorrow, looking forward to it 🙂

Evanescence and VV clashing is shocking.

I'm just glad I got to see VV earlier in the year!

Alexisonfire clashing with Three Days Graces makes me grateful I saw Alexisonfire last year at Slammy D

It’s a bit annoying yeah, but I’ve wanted to see Evanescence since I first heard Fallen and I’ve never had the chance so I wasn’t missing them for anything. 

(With the way that day has ended up it also means I can probably tick Carpenter Brut off the list on the Friday night so I am delighted)

Like a few on here the Disturbed/Simple Plan and Alexisonfire/Three Days Grace clashes that are causing our group the most headaches 

[Andre91]

So BMTH played a whole new 16 songs setlist in Budapest last night to what they’ve been playing over the last couple of years. Here’s my guess at what their DL set will be like a week today (ONE WEEK!) with a few extras chucked in: 

1. Amen 

2. Teardrops

3. House Of Wolves

4. Mantra

5. Happy Song 

6. Dear Diary

7. Parasite Eve

8. Shadow Moses

9. 1X1 (w/ Nova Twins) 

10. Lost

11. Butterflies… (w/ Amy Lee) 

12. Nihilist Blues (w/ Amy Lee) 

13. Diamonds Aren’t Forever 

14. The Sadness Will Never End (w/ Sam Carter) 

15. Die4u

16. Kingslayer

17. Drown

 

18. Pray For Plagues 

19. Throne

20. Can You Feel My Heart

Yeah I wish I had but I wasn't really around and free etc. Just hoping he does some future dates.

I mean I knew they were likely to overlap a bit but that's crazy that much. Honestly don't see the point of totally having clash free headliners every night apart from the dogtooth. It's kinda what annoys me with Reading now where there is virtually no alternative.

I even look into going to Europe to see Evanescence but financially just can't do it so made the decision to see Evanescence here purely as they coat much more usually to see. Can't afford to do Rock AM Ring but nearly went for that to tick it and other bands off. Interestingly though, I spoke to guy at Slam Dunk with a RAR tee from last year and he said he had a great time but once you're in the arena you're in for the day. You got to turn up to this sites to camp very early to even have a chance at just a 30 minute arena walk, he said you're looking closer to 45 minutes plus which really puts me off as I like to return to the tent if I have a gap, chill with a couple of drinks.

For those in Camping Plus 

[FloorFiller]

That new BMTH song is great. Wasn’t expecting them to go so heavy again after the last couple, the chorus is catchy as hell, and the features are the most weirdly odd pairing. 

[FeverDream]

Talking of clashes the Architects and Empire State Bastard clash is a ball ache for myself. 

[LazyDavid]

Pendulum vs The Blackout, Alexisonfire vs Bob Vylan, Placebo vs Creeper (if their rumoured headline on Sunday Dogtooth happens), Skindred vs State Champs

Those are my main clashes

[49Lawson]

Creeper just been added, headlining DogTooth on the Saturday night

[BenG92]

"final, final we promise" set times out, Friday Dogtooth pushed back an hour and BMTH now unopposed like Metallica and Slipknot.

Pendulum now clashing Empire State Bastard.

[FloorFiller]

Said it before and I’ll say it again: if Metallica don’t play at least one St Anger song over their two sets with it being so close to the twentieth anniversary then what the f**k are we even doing here?! 

[ace56blaa]

Does anyone need a ticket. 5 day camping weqll under face value

[FloorFiller]

Looks like Shaun/Clown is gonna be missing from some Slipknot dates (which I’m assuming will include Download) as he’s had to go home for his sick wife.
