Can’t help but think turnstile, clashing with download is so brave and going from London to a weekend in Manchester. Hope it works out well for them 

 

If it is Turnstile I hope that doesn't mean they're out of Download. Would be crazy for them to be in Europe and still not book them!

Will it actually change it or just incite it some more? 😂

 

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

My first thought was Falling in Reverse but it seems everyone knows they are playing anyway

 

Mcfly? 😂

I was thinking, if Turnstile are headlining, maybe this was done so that they can justify being in the UK for Download and Outbreak?

Has this band played Download before?

[Siddey1994]

Can someone just drop the poster already so I can get hyped? The discourse on here atm is dire.

I don't think McFly would go down badly, Busted when down a storm so if anything people would expect it more. FIR and 30 seconds to mars would go down a lot worse. Maybe even Marilyn Manson.

Yeah possibly. Hope so but not sure Download would share with Outbreak. Not sure if that's happened before though.

If this doesn't hype you up, I don't know what will. Top 5 download line ups ever I reckon.

I don't think the dates have matched up before now?

I’m not sure Skindred would accept playing under Skindred, they’re too big.

[Andre91]

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.

Catch you in the pit for Five Colours in her Hair

Someone previously cancelled i.e Marilyn Manson? Brand New? 
 

Also, dying to know whether Turnstile are there

Assuming this is going to be an undercard band. Also don't suppose you're able to say whether Slayer are playing or not?

So it’s a band and not a solo artist? That discounts Machine Gun Kelly and YUNGBLUD.

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

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.

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.
