thewayiam Posted January 23 Report Share Posted January 23 1 hour ago, foolee said: I just think Avril is more in the scene than Busted and McFly so would be a sensible booking. I don’t think her headlining the stages that Sum 41 or Neck Deep are headlining this year would be that strange. Think people would be pretty buzzing about it and she’s more pop punk than pop I’d say. Yeah Busted and McFly are pop bands. Avril very much has the edge of punk pop/alternative and punk rock. I'd probably take her this year over any of the headliners including Sum 41 as recently seen them. She'd have been a faster ticket purchase for me than Rancid was.

jump Posted January 23 Author Report Share Posted January 23 I'd applaud them if Download booked Avril Lavigne but then instantly complain she's shit. lol There's no other festival in need of fresh ideas more so than Download, it just can't double down on boomer metal forever. It's not the creative booking I'd want to see (or could even possibly work) but at least they'd be doing something to address their stagnation.

Andre91 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I’ll be there the vast majority of the day, from KennyHoopla through to TSSF. MCS into TWY into TSSF is going to cause my entire body to prolapse. Followed by Alexisonfire? This day is going to be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyDavid Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 That's a great stage; definitely want to see KennyHoopla, TWY and TSSF there! Depending on what else might see Hot Milk, MCS and Knuckle Puck too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andre91 Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 What are we thinking for other stages? Sum 41 / The Used / Deaf Havana / ??? / MODSUN / ??? / Dream State / The Summer Set / Point North Dropkick Murphys / The Interrupters / The Mighty Mighty Bosstones / Pennywise / Hot Water Music / The Vandals / Spanish Love Songs / The Flatliners / Hot Mulligan Alexisonfire / The Amity Affliction / Eskimo Callboy / Cancer Bats / The Bronx / Silverstein / Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! / ??? / ??? That leaves the following who I would except to play the smallest stage they usually have along with others yet to be announced: As December Unfolds, Yours Truly, Mom Jeans 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 KennyHoopla, Hot Milk and Meet Me @ The Altar from that stage. Will watch Neck Deep depending on who else is on but I’ll probably be at Alexisonfire or SUM 41. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kersh Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 Random one. Is it worth paying for the VIP tickets? I know they have there own bar and toilets but does it add enough value to warrant the extra £40? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam Dunk is a one day event so the toilets aren’t an issue, they stay ok all day in my experience. Bar queues up North aren’t usually too bad at all so I wouldn’t waste your money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have been inclined to agree if it was still the PiD Stage but I can see it being a mixture of that kind of punk and more emo stuff this year.

foolee Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 I’ve just had a thought. If Dropkick Murphy’s are headlining the stage NOFX have done and Neck Deep are doing the Don Broco stage where is the SUM 41 stage going to go? I’m thinking about the South site as never been to north and I can’t see where they’d put it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking about the South site as never been to north and I can’t see where they’d put it. Thinking back to South last year, the RockScene stage was the main stage. Maybe they'll put Sum 41 on what was the NoFX stage, then Alexisonfire go in the Jager tent. That still leave another headline in the Jager tent and the 2 on the Key Club stages. But they all feel too small for the Dropkicks......unless they put another stage in somewhere (they used to have the Marshall tent with 2 stages back in 2019). I guess more announcements will help explain some of the stages a bit more. Still feels like a lot more to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomDom1984 Posted January 29 Report Share Posted January 29 If I hadn't already seen them, I'd be a bit disappointed, but I'm not bothered by this really. Will be interesting to see if they get a replacement or if they just go with what they've got. They're reasonably high on the bill so a replacement isn't out of the question.

foolee Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Bosstones confirmed to be out on the latest statement as the split is with immediate effect. They’ll stay on the artwork until Monday 7th Feb which is when the next announcement is. It may take a few weeks to get the replacement for the Bosstones.

jump Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 That’s sucks about Bosstones. They were a big highlight on the poster for me. They have said they are gonna replace them with another ska punk band so it will probably be Less Than Jake yet again. Although I’d love see them troll people and announce Smash Mouth with the tag line the best 90s ska band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd haved liked to see Bosstones but I'd take LTJ all day over them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Winstone Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 I'd like Imperial Lesuire to be added to the ska punk stage obviously not as big as Bosstones but really good fun live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
