The only thing that makes me think it isn’t real is I would have bet my next mortgage payment Avril Lavigne was there. Think it’s fairly solid if not spectacular though 

[Marka23]

Very happy with this, especially with Pantera. Seems to be real as the Download Facebook group is suspending people that post it 

[Spiral_Low]

It's the same graphic design as this year right? That's a bit odd they normally change it a bit. 

Also odd order for the logo bands. This year was alphabetical.

She still could be, just announced at a later date.

Except some bands are not in order

Hoobastank -> Holding Absence

Karnivool -> Kelsy Karter -> Imminence

That could be just so people don’t get the wrong information on who’s playing and then buy a ticket for it to be completely different.

There were errors on the 2023 official poster, both the real one and the leaked draft one. Looks like a draft.

This is very true 

[Gingerfish79]

If that’s the lineup it’s very weak.

She's in Austria smack bang in the middle of it. Unlikely to come all that way to play consecutive nights with nothing in-between, would look very odd. I think there's other EU fests announcing tomorrow that might lend a clue.

Yes but this looks like someone has just copy and pasted over the 2023 poster. If it's legit then it's very lazy.

.... That's the official branding, it's all over their socials.

Obviously the closer we get to the festival the better the predictions get, but that looks almost too much like a roundup of the better predictions and then a bunch of other sh*t thrown at the end. All the subs being exactly what people on here have been saying for a while Is a little suspect imo, but again, that could just be because people on here are good at narrowing that sh*t down.

Brother, you seen Download festival? 🤣

Don't really think it's that different from most festival branding year in year out is it?

They're leaving the fanmade ones alone

Fair enough, probably real unfortunately then.

[Spiral_Low]

If it's correct it's every single logo band right? That's very unusual. Though given how weak the headliners are maybe they feel they have to.

Do you think they’ll do a full tour over here or a one off London date? Seems that Paris show is an arena and sold out.

Reckon Wembley Arena or somewhere like that as a one off.

Yeah me too. Maybe she’ll support BMTH at their own summer show somewhere or do R&L?

What else is announcing tomorrow?

I think most people are denying it because of the sheer number of bands on here, but yeah, given it's the first Download in 14 years with two new headliners it's the right move.

Cannot remember for the life of me now sorry, I'm almost positive I saw someone on the DL forums saying there's a few gearing up. Apologies in advance if wrong.

R&L on the Blink day would be my bet - more fitting there than Download, even if Download is having a ‘softer’ year.
