Fully expected them to be £350. This lineup is stacked for England.

Papa Roach too I reckon.

Yeah me and my group have just been saying, I would argue it’s the closest any UK festival outside of Glasto has got to matching a European line up standard. If they’ve kept back Pantera, Hailstorm, possibly Alter Bridge etc to be added later this line up will be huge

Soul Glo! Didn't expect that but that's awesome.

I was thinking it could happen after seeing them announced for roskilde but wasnt the most confident, very excited for them again

Am I right in thinking you brought us the news of the headliners first Andre? If so, is this a prediction or have you got it on reasonably good authority because Pantera and Turnstile getting added to this would be insane!

I posted them after a guy on the DL forums said them months ago, yeah. Another guy who corroborated them a while back who also provided a load of names last week that are on this leak (more obscure names like Placebo, Evanescence) said that Pantera and LOG are there too. Turnstile is just festival maths because they’re in Europe at the time and they aren’t at Slam Dunk. 
 

They will be keeping back some heavyweights for later announcements for sure.

Ah that’s brilliant, thanks for the response! I must admit the more obscure names like Placebo, Evanescence etc were the ones I was hoping for so to see them now is great. Pantera etc being added later on is just the cherry on top

The guy mentioned yesterday that a big band has dropped out which a lot of us have taken as Nightwish because they’re in Europe at the time but their singer has had a cancer diagnosis, unfortunately.

Yup agreed. Maybe Amon Amarth too? And maybe Gojira *if* they aren't doing Bloodstock.

Agreed.

That's me going to my first proper Download based off that, love it

[Andre91]

I’ve just had a listen through a whole bunch of names on the lineup that I’ve never heard of and, I’ve got to say, many of them are not your typical Download bands/artists. It’s really cool IMO. There’s loads of awesome, smaller acts on there doing some really different and exciting stuff. I’m not sure how the denim and leather lot will feel but it’s definitely like they’ve listened to some of the criticism after the Pilot was so fresh and booked a whole load of exciting, not traditionally DL acts. There’s stuff there from post-punk, to hardcore, to hyper pop to trap. I love it.

thats exactly the reason why i am loving this lineup!!!

. I am a metalcore fan, but do like a lot of other variations of music, and DL has always been quite straight with what they booked. So hyped!!!! I will soon be doing a playlist of the bands I am planning on see it. Will share it through so you can all get small snippets if you want 🙂

Mate said that tickets for the previous early bird were 270 and they're not 310 so them going to 350+ sounds about right

Suspect your bang on with most of that. I think they are holding back some of the bigger names for next announcement (obvs some that can't be announced till tours are over). 

[Xeph1995]

For me the only bands I'd be interested in would be Slipknot, Ghost, Pendulum, Behemoth and Alexisonfire.

They seemed to have really catered to a specific audience this time round, feels like with BMTH getting the bump it's a lot of that type of metal which isn't really my thing, lack of decent rock too. 

Will probably end up going to Arctangent.

Hmmm as Andre pointed out in his guess the stage post, alot of this is probably Avalanche stage and I suspect it's being announced now to try to draw in the BMTH crowd. But expect a hell of alot more to be announced, with an extra day this is like a quarter of the line up? 

[Aech2ElectricBoogaloo]

Will be my first solo camping fest that lineup is incredible too good to pass up.

[Nice to Michu]

 No room for MGK now on the lineup providing this is correct?

[Lee Underwood]

I had a strong feeling AC/DC would be headlining.

I mean I hope he isn't there, but anyway it only has 16 logo bands. Across 4 full days there will be 27. Presuming the Thurs really is a full day that's 11 missing. 

(Ok technically 28 but Metallica twice so 27).

Stunning. Although I think that if Asking Alexandria and GWAR were headlining those stages they’d have been a logo too like VV, Simple Plan and I Prevail.
