Since been deleted but their official FB page posted an event.

Do day tickets go on sale at the same time as the weekends? My head's telling me they go on slightly after but maybe I'm misremembering

Generally it’s a bit later. In fact it was 29 March this year before they went on sale

Is there some substance behind the Prodigy Sunday slot or are these just guesses at the moment?

We know they're touring next summer but that's it

Just that they are touring.

There was something awhile back about Corey Taylor going to see them and raving about them too.

And one of the Download's in the past clashed Slipknot with Prodigy so having Prodigy then Slipknot is the kinda big deal that would fit a 20th anniversary.

Ah, I thought as much. I hope it transpires, I can only make Sunday this year and that would be about as good as a 1-2 as it gets for me

[TKOCF]

As good as it sounds, I’m worried The Prodigy would have to play in the daylight. Surely that takes the edge off their live shows a bit.

Including TOUCHE AMORE. Christ. Get them at Download, PLEASE. If Turnstile are there too.. this could be an unbelievable lineup.

Yeah I was just thinking that, looking around at what’s available this could very well be a vintage year and I could definitely be tempted back to Download. I would rather 4 different headliners but if we’re potentially looking at some combo of Metallica (x2), BMTH, Slipknot, The Prodigy, Ghost, Evanescence, Placebo, Alter Bridge, Disturbed, Pantera, Halestorm, Turnstile and many more it could be very very good and a bit more than just the same old that Download usually offers
