Maybe so, but it’s fucking great nonetheless.

Clearly a big market for nostalgic rock/metal what with this and When We Were Young sending people across the internet wild. Shame we couldn’t have some kind of mid ground between Download and Slam Dunk or like an old Reading/Leeds like this these days as I’d be all over it.

Book 100 Gecs and Death Grips you cowards

So I’m thinking of taking my younger brother to this (15 turning 16) that’s never been to a festival…or a standing concert. He absolutely loves slipknot and bring me and if this leak is legit then it’s pretty stacked for me too. He can get pretty anxious and everything in crowds, and his eyesight isn’t amazing, but he said he’d absolutely love to go

Think it’ll be alright for him? Never been myself but far as I know this festival isn’t full of dickheads like reading is so…

It’s the perfect first festival for him if he’s into rock and metal. Genuinely lovely crowd and the biggest dick head I've ever seen is myself and I’m not that much of a dick really.

Echo the above, one of the friendliest festivals on earth. If he gets too anxious in a crowd it's pretty easy to get out of at the sides and you can still see fine, coming from someone who's also blind as a bat

4 days in a field will be a lot for someone's first standing concert but take it in moderation and it'll be the time of his life!

Alexisonfire leaked the poster. It's real.

Not like there was ever any doubt on that poster but it's beautiful. I am absolutely stoked to go and it's the first time I'm going to a festival solo, I know so many people going that I'm gonna camp alone and see everyone 😅

[JSmurphy]

Brilliant lineup. Getting tickets as soon as possible. 

[TKOCF]

This rules

[beetchez]

So glad I got early bird tickets

[49Lawson]

Gambled yesterday before they went up, been fraught with anxiety all day. Absolutely over the moon! 

[agiovanni123]

Anyone know the presale code?

[Optix]

stand atlantic stating they will play friday. Other bands might be saying where they are too

[Xeph1995]

I was absolutely praying for Pendulum for the Bring Me day and got it, shame I don't think I'll be able to go.

It never ceases to amaze just how many acts this place gets right every year haha.

That's the best download festival lineup in years and years

[Dukey]

When do day tickets typically go on sale? Bmth and architects on the Friday is too good to turn down

Sam carter confirmed architects are on the Friday on twitter  

[Codhead]

Did anyone else see the list for the Apex stage on the website they appeared for a minute or two then it buggered off. The names I saw were...

Fri - Kiss, A Day to Remember.

Sat - Iron Maiden

Sun - Biffy Clyro, Rise Against.

[2loor2iller]

Who are the subs then? Architects before BMTH obviously, and Parkway Drive another. Pantera seemingly out of the equation now if the info is correct, so possibly two more subs to come or do people think one (or both) are there?

[Andre91]

Ghost are headlining second and finishing before Slipknot according to one of the leakers on the DL forums. 
 

Architects below BMTH and Parkway under Slipknot. 
 

I’m expecting Alter Bridge to sub and think Nightwish would have but they’ve dropped out. I think BFMV will sadly get the call to fill in and sub. 
 

Lamb of God definitely to come too and Halestorm self confirmed. 
 

Praying for Turnstile. 

[BenG92]

Friday is BMTH / Architects on main and Evanescence on second. 

I seriously doubt the last 3 on any night will clash.
