Download 2023

[49Lawson]

A Few bands I’d have at Download from there; I’d love them to continue booking bands outside of the “normal” Download sphere like they have with Placebo, Barns Courtney from there would be a welcome addition. On a related note, not that this would ever happen but I’m having a look at Primavera and I would love it if they went for My Morning Jacket. Can’t really think of anywhere else they would fit in the UK and a band I would love to see

[JSmurphy]

Sum 41 would be great but idk if there's space for them. Wolfmother would be neat.

Turnstile have to be thrown in the mix for this. Would love for them to appear, they were so good at Outbreak fest.

Turnstile were thrown into the mix a few weeks ago when they were announced Rock Am Ring. Also I could be wrong but I swear that one of the Download leakers said, or at the very least hinted that, Turnstile were booked for Download.

This is what I hope from Download every year but it never happens. Maybe that means Download isn’t the festival for me, and maybe that’s why next year will be my first time. But I can’t help but look at festivals across Europe that have Download headliners and a substantial Download undercard but book acts that R&L have started to neglect and Download have never booked.

Well, after Resurrection Festival announcement today, I think we can count on Pantera as well at DL.

Do you guys reckon that The Ghost Inside could be a possibility? Or is more a chance for them to be at Slam Dunk? I have been wanting to see them for so long...

I know they're much later on in the year but End of the Road and Green Man would be the kind of festivals that would go for My Morning Jacket.

The Ghost Inside played Download this year so quite unlikely to return next year.

Within Temptation won't play below though, one is going to be 3rd with the other second stage. Really Evanescence should be subbing.

Pretty sure Jinjer will be Slipknot day. Papa Roach are most likely for Sunday given they are doing Friday at Nova Rock. Pretty much rules out Thursday and Saturday.

I would be on Placebo and Disturbed switching. Papa Roach under Ghost.

Proving their global appeal, the HU have sold out venues across the world in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, with scheduled festival appearances at Coachella, Lollapalooza, Download Festival, and more, creating a community of fans from all walks of life.

Missed these in 2019 so hoping to catch them this time.

Saw them last night at Stylus. I actually went to see King Nun support them (weird choice of support, kinda an indie band and it seemed no one enjoyed them except us). The HU were okay, definitely unique. Wouldn't go back to see them though as the songs were all quite similar.

Sorry if I've missed it but have Ghost been confirmed for a specific day yet?

Legit leaker on the official forums said he had heard headlining 2nd stage on Sunday before Slipknot, but that it's always subject to change until they drop the day splits next year

Helloween has been announced to play Bloodstock 2023. Do you think they could still play Download as well, or this is a hard no?

[lexiins]

Was listening to Falling in Reverse. 

Is there any chances they could be @Download ?

I’m sure Ronnie is allowed in the UK now, whoever bags them will have to give them a fairly decent slot.

We all know Ronnie's a twat but I'd still go out of my way to see them. They've got so many bangers.

Spiritbox UK tour in July so they must be out of the running.

Turnstile surely a shout at Download, doing Brixton on 30th May, not at Slam Dunk, currently free on the Friday, Saturday & Sunday of Download I believe, I'm just hoping my wishes turn it into actuality

Pretty sure somone confirmed them, but said they'd be announced later
