Yeah got tickets... the line-up says it all.. they'll take metal fans away from DL...... cos DL won't compete with BS line up

It absolutely will compete, let's not be silly. 

 

Bloodstock looks brilliant so far, but they could pad out the rest with utter dross while Download puts on one of the best line-ups ever, we just don't know. But it will compete, and likely win.

I'll tell you now that if Download are booking Sleep Token, Green Day and Korn as headliners it won't be one of the best lineups ever. You're going to have Deftones there and Korns sub is likely going to be higher than they should be because they are higher.

Never said it would be, just saying it could be. No point saying one thing is going to smash another when we haven't seen the offering of one of them. For me, ST, GD and Korn is better than Gojira, Machine Head and Trivium, so immediately DL is ahead. However, if we're going to take costs, ease of access and whatnot into account, then we'd have a fight on our hands. 

 

Still, no point comparing apples to nothing.

Yes you can't compare because Bloodstock scale is so much smaller. They couldn't book any of those headliners, not even Korn I doubt.

I have DL 25 tickets already..... and have Bloodstock tickets.... 1st time im doing it.... but from a metalhead p.o.v BS is the one. DL wont match it on the metal aspect... cos its a rock festival. I still have a kick ass time at DL's every time. Looking forward to see what the actual line-up's gona be in the end lol

Green Day stick out like a sore thumb there massively. You've got to at least try to make it look like they booked similar bands to fit. That just looks like a day waiting to have Maiden or something popped on top. From what we know, I think Bad Omens will he 3rd down or second stage to make way for Deftones. Bad Omens, B4MV and Mastodon/Frank Carter 3rd down makes sense.

I don't see FIR doing Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Dublin, Wembley Arena and The 02 without subbing. That's a tour I don't even think Korn could sell out without a decent support and in fact their arena tour with Limp Bizkit wasn't even as big. 

I think you've got Deftones Friday and FIR Sunday to beef that out a bit. Green Day isn't the day to book them to sub and it isn't needed either. So if Bullet are going to sub again....it'll be that day.

I really like this. The Green Day day will be more tailored to them than this, though. Good Charlotte are too big for that tent and The Ghost Inside would be lucky to headline the Avalanche these days because of how poorly their last couple of tours have sold since coming back but apart from that, it looks good. Will Haven > NAILS > Deafheaven would be an unreal run.

Isle of Wight wasn't tailored to them.

Yeah, Isle of Wight doesn't exactly tailor. It's just the crowdpleasers.

 

Here, you can get a sense of mood, of tone, of emotion.

Think it is just an IoW thing to hop between acts though. When Muse played it two years ago, the last acts before them were Rudimental, Tom Grennan and UB40, which is a real genre hopping day and what put me off going.

It is much easier for Download to curate a day for Green Day than it is for IOW. To IOW they are stadium rock band, to Download they are going to be seen more as a punk/pop-punk band. IOW isn't booking punk or pop-punk, but when they have booked punk in the past, it has been Sex Pistols, Iggy and the Stooges and The Stranglers. They aren't booking the likes of The Offspring, Jimmy Eat World, Neck Deep or The Story So Far on the undercard, which Download have done before and will again.

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
