Marilyn Manson is my guess at the band who will cause a big reaction.

That is definitely a temptation 😂

 

Anyway, quick detour of conversation before going back to arguing about Korn again. There's a band on the announcement that will potentially get a more negative reaction than Sleep Token on social media

Either McFly or Avril Lavigne I guess.

Any clues on what stage the act is playing, a clue on the artist or why they'll get a more negative reaction?

I hope it isn’t McFly because Busted one year followed by them is just exactly what Slam Dunk did. Also, Busted get a pass for having a bit of rock cred I feel because of Charlie whereas McFly don’t. 

 

McFly are a better live band and would go down very well. Stick them main stage for the Green Day day. Heavier live and have better songs than Busted. Have a listen to Corrupted.

It's not that Korn are bad. They're just uninspiring, and probably in 2025, the smallest headliner download have ever had. I have been at 2010, 14/15/16/17/18/19 2022 and 2023 downloads (11-13 uni years, no money) and if it is GD, ST and Korn as headliners, that is definitely the 3 weakest set in history.

 

I appreciate that is subjective - but i like all 3 of those bands, so feel it's not from any personal bias. Ive never seen green day so will at least be getting a day ticket for that. but as has been previously mentioned. korn have done nothing to elevate to headline since their last appearance. i feel you can get away with sleep token OR Korn alongside Green day and one other 'premium' act. but both? this will be a low selling event. Download is my second home but I think copping has had his day. if he can't get the bands that european festivals and US festivals get, then move on. 

I would say 2024 even though you didn't attend it is weaker as ST sell St least to the level of all 2024s and Green Day sell way over any of those years.

Feel like Avril Lavigne, like Busted, would be welcomed, personally. 🤔

[Andre91]

Avril would go down a storm. Nobody is going to complain if she’s there.

I don't see why FIR would get a bad rep.

Frontman is a bit of a man child and keeps randomly starting fights with people on twitter. He was also previously banned from the country.

If I have to sit through one of these to get to the front for Green Day I'm not going to be happy lol

 

Both good live, you'd enjoy them and would be great warmups for GD. Especially Yungblud as he'd win a lot of the crowd over.

My first guesses were 30 STM or MM. I don't see why FIR would get a bad rep. A heavier rock band at a heavier festival.

 

I can get passed Busted but McFly no. 

 

Ronnie has a bad rep. Busted and McFly are literally touring together. If Busted can play so can McFly.

Both would be a really popular booking 

[foolee]

However on the FIR thing I don't think they're the act Yeast is talking about as everyone is expecting them anyway and I feel like they have a pretty big/hardcore following like ST etc. 

 

Could see it being Marilyn as he sells the tickets. Could easily sub Korn or ST too.

Avril are not going to get a bad reaction surely?...that might be biased but everyone on here is shouting out for her to sub Green Day is it's not Weezer.  I was sure Avril announced a 2025 Europe date but maybe it was just WWWY

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Who's it annoying? As you mentioned ST I wonder if it's the Facebook crowd, in which case I'd lean more towards Yungblud or MGK. I don't think they'd hate Manson being announced..

[Andre91]

Something mental like Lil Uzi Vert subbing the Main Stage, please.

I would have to admit that MM would actually not be bad for me as I've only seen him once and it wasn't in the best time of his career plus his support in aid to be close was awful.

Reading or Wireless is that way dude haha, wrong scene.

Oh, totally. But it would cause a meltdown.

I don't think it's going to be a "cancelled" band as unfortunately a lot of download goers don't seem to care about that 

 

It's more likely going to be a band that won't go down well with Downloads older audience

Got to be a Yungblud, MGK or Thirty Seconds To Mars. I honestly wouldn't be annoyed at any of them being booked.

Brand New?

I'm not the main audience but anyone except for Yungblud would be annoying as I reckon this would relate to Green Day sub. I don't think the festival is going to struggle to find accommodation subs for the others two days and I think Deftones Saturday is a very good good/maybe even assumption already.

This was meant to be a nice little topic of conversation to get us away from Korn, now the forums are talking about nonces and about 12 pages have jumped up in 30 minutes.

 

I apologise!
