I don’t think they’d put Bad Omens on the second stage at the same time as Sleep Token either

 

They're rarely on at the same time any more, you can usually watch main sub > 2nd head > main head now.

 

Not saying new poster has any credit but Bad Omens headlining 2nd was supposed to happen this year anyway and makes 100% sense next to ST, was in my initial prediction

Who do we think AL are meant to be?

Guessing PR is supposed to be Papa Roach only other PR I can think of who might be big enough is Porter Robinson and that seems very unlikely.

 

Guessing S is supposed to be Spiritbox, but could be so many other acts like Skindred or Sepultura instantly come to mind

I assumed PR is Papa Roach.

Not sure about S. I did think Spiritbox but surely they’re too big so sub second stage? I’d if though they’re second stage headliner/third down main stage

[gabrielomachado]

if they get a run of Spiritbox - Falling In Reverse - Bad Omens - Sleep Token with no clashing between them, that's amazing

 

but i'm not sure of Lamb of God subbing Linkin Park while Korn plays on 2nd

LOB > Korn and then home is a great end to the Sunday tbf. They also might not want to get Korn to be a sub again.

You ain't putting Korn as second stage headliner and Lamb of God as sub.

 

I would usually agree. I personally believe the person saying LP aren't doing Download than this person saying they are. That is due to us having stronger information. I believe even Yeast wasn't expecting LP to play it.

I don't think Papa Roach get second stage headliner myself unless they've had to give that for them to do it. They are a second stage sub.

Personally that's an awful run for me.

Also with the time the second stage headliner finishes they are playing later than sub anyway.

KL is Knocked Loose, right? 

[Judas Yeast]

I definitely wasn't expecting LP but I know a band came available late in the day! Not convinced at all but we'll see.  No idea if Keepquiet is legit or not

[BrutalLegend]

If you’re looking into them 2nd stage subs then surely Knocked Loose ain’t big enough to do that when compared to Spiritbox and Motionless In White?

They're the biggest hardcore band in the world, I'd argue they're the most popular second stage sub there to be honest.

[Gejonimo]

My only note would be Korn at the second stage is going to be mental. I get it, second to last band and headlining a stage, but logistically there's going to have to be good options elsewhere.

Agreed. I think they could justify it, definitely. I wouldn’t say they’re more popular than MIW and Spiritbox but they are one of the buzz bands in the world. I think it would be one of those bookings that look a bit much on paper but come the festival, everyone will see it makes sense.

Plus Knocked Loose are only getting better. This year's album absolutely rips. Would be daft if Download could get them and they didn't.

Not doubting they’re the biggest in the hardcore scene but they can’t shift tickets on UK tours like Spiritbox and Motionless In White, Spiritbox just sold 10K capacity Ally Pally out in no time and Motionless sold out 4 big Academy shows in hours including Brixton, Knocked Loose recent UK tours were smallish venues and I don’t even think half sold out, I wouldn’t say they’d be the most popular second stage sub but if they do play that slot I know they’d smash it for sure.

Every year everyone will believe everything they hear except the underwhelming one that turns out to be true.

Refused against LP wouldn't be ideal but also that's the worst Sunday I could think of. Saturday would be a day ticket.

Honestly not sure i’ve heard an underwhelming option this year, headliner wise.

When it comes to ticket sales in the UK Turnstile shift them, they’ve been quiet was hoping they’d have new music by now.

Be curious if download moves away from hardcore this year after a lot of bands dropping out last time, and Code Orange smashing up the stage.
