The Hives opening Other is a great shout.  Beady Eye were predictably a pile of w*nk and left the crowd flat in 2013, but The Hives came on and absolutely smashed it.

I actually thought Razorlight might do it. For them on a comeback it would be ideal for them.

I haven’t been to R&L since I was 16, judging by the lineup poster does it seem like Foals and Fender would be on at the same time on different stages??? Considering a day ticket just for those 2 but I can’t work it out with the whole dual headliner thing they do these days

So you're all saying Bicep acts are shit without a light show?

Like loads of main stage electronic acts - see Chemical Bro's, Prodigy etc.

They had Bru-C at like 3pm this year and it looked like a school disco. Not that Bru-C isn't a school disco regardless, but still

There’s stuff on that R/L lineup that interests me, but annoyingly it’s too spread out across the three days. There isn’t quite enough on any single day to make a ticket worthwhile.

I was just thinking exactly the same thing.  There are are 8 acts I would like to see, but taken as individual days none of them are good enough to convince me

No acts on the two main stages are meant to clash, including headliners. Although for whatever reason this year there was a 5-10 minute overlap between some of them. You can definitely see one act then the other unless you want a decent spot

Thanks for clarifying - Hopefully there’s no overlap this year as they’re my 2 faves …. I’m very tempted

There was also overlap between Biffy and Liam Gallagher the year before, same for Blossoms and Wolf Alice earlier in that day. My advice based on that is to make a decision  about what you'd prefer before the first of the two is on and go with it, as you won't actually know until you've missed the first song or two of the other act.

Good shout… I’d be there for that, used to like them and they’ve got some bangers!

I think it was only Dave and Megan Thee Stallion out of the headliners that overlapped, and 99% of the overlaps happened on that one day. They definitely market it as “no main stage clashes” though

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?
