Just booked the time off work for next year, I'm inching closer to getting a ticket lol.

After seeing the price of Maiden tickets today I think this will probs be one of the last times I'm gunna see Metallica as I'm not forking out near £100 for one of their own gigs.

Saw The Amazons last night and they’d be a great booking for a tent. Perhaps not your typical Download band but absolutely a band that should be getting booked given how full and heavy they sound live and how stale the lineups have got in recent years.

I agree, there are these type of rock bands who have more indie fanbases but defo have a place at DL.

Amazons, Pale Waves, Kid Kapichi, Cleopatrick, Tigercub and on a bigger level Royal Blood

Early birds ends on 6th November, announcement coming 7th November

Not surprised they've said this, Graspop suddenly become active too and saying they will be 4 days. I think we have an idea where Metallica will be those 2 weekends.

I love them but would have laughed in your face at the thought of them playing Download after the first two albums but this third one defo has some strong pop punk vibes that I think they might not be that out of place at Download.

I went to see Rina Sawayama last night and honestly Download could do a lot worse than booking her, immense show and she does have a couple of songs that lean into heavier music, honestly think she would go down a storm

She’s got that one song that borrows pretty heavily from nu-metal but I think that’s about it, and she’s pretty much abandoned that entirely for her new album which is much more by the numbers pop. Don’t think she’ll be getting booked for Download off the back of one song either way. 

 

As for some of the suggestions above, I agree that Download should branch out a little, but it’s not gonna be with a bunch of indie/pop bands who occasionally have riffs - there needs to be some element of metal/hard rock there .

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
