However, female pop singers do tend to find huge success quicker than most other kinds of artists tend to do

yep, but that's normally down to marketing.

Well we are pretty sure we know our headliners so it’s probably much better to discuss the rest of the bill.

I’m still not convinced we do. I think there’s a curveball coming.  The ones in discussion as nailed on don’t convince me. Can’t put my finger on why, they just don’t fit in my mind.

well done, don't fall for matt's plan to entrap you to his ever changing dartboard predictions.

AM/GNR/Elton - no way, surely.

AM/Styles/Elton - maybe, but still doesn’t have the usual balance of genre/style of act they usually aim for.

AM or Styles/something drastically different*/Elton feels closer to the mark.

* Beyoncé returns/Due Lipa/Lizzo at a stretch would all fit this gap.

Is Rihanna ruled out? My thinking is AM, Rihanna, Elton 

Only that she hasn’t toured or released music in years and as far as we know, has no plans to do either.  That would balance it up, but would also be a curveball for the ages.  Seems like a stretch.

Styles can only do Sunday I think so he’s out.

He’s only in Belgium not the other side of the world … ok it might be a stretch but a long way from impossible 

Well he’s going to struggle because Elton is headlining the Sunday.

Styles ain’t doing it.

The headliners are AM, GNR, Elton. It’s a let down after the great trios we’ve had, but unfortunately it’s what we are getting.

They’re playing Glasgow on Sunday and don’t tend to do consecutive nights in different cities. 

it looks logical I agree ... although im not 100% convinced its nailed on yet ... I presume they wont need quite a bit of the tour kit for the farm . maybe im willing a curveball into existence though , will no doubt find out soon

You’re missing the fact that he isn’t doing consecutive nights in different venues anywhere in this tour and didn’t on the last either.

That is a great trio. At least as good as last year's.

This just doesn't feel right. I can't really explain it but I just know it's wrong.

    • Yeah I find it strange, if they were just a silly act then they wouldn't be headlining the 3rd stage. The likes of vengaboys yes but they aren't doing their own sizeable arena dates.  That looks very weak for what they could actually get, but GC aren't playing 3rd main stage with The 02 and the Coop arena and in a same slot that KSE are. MIW aren't carrying those two dates either, neither are Turnstile and Parkway Drive tickets didn't play out. You gotta do better than Ghost, Blink and Deftones though.    I think you are a bit even if that is not the intention. I'm genuinely shocked they booked them for the avalanche and I think it'll be rammed out of the tent. While ADTR will obviously get a lot too, many Download attendees will had the chance to see them at Slam Dunk. I think 90s fest getting Scooter was class and while there would have been some Download crossover, the Slam Dunk crossover given acts you get on the avalanche will be a different level.

    • So, what would the weather have been like at this year's festival?   It's been shambolic around here, the rain is soul destroying and showing no sign of letting up, bar odd sporadic days here and there. Disgraceful for June.   What's it like down there? Have we had a lucky escape?...
