Surely Limp Bizkit are a bigger name than Biffy Clyro and QOTSA

 

Bigger name as in more well known, sure. But, until recently, ticket sales didn't match those bands at all. Nowhere close. I still remember them playing Southampton Guildhall as that was their level. They managed to get some good venues when touring with Korn back in 2016 which looked promising but buggered off for a bit until playing some academies in 2023. They realised then, "oh wow, we can definitely do bigger shows" and they've rocketed from there!

 

I was definitely happy when it suddenly wasn't uncool to like Limp Bizkit again!

Nobody is going up against GNR, except maybe the Dogtooth for a bit. 
 

Nobody will be on Second against any of the headliners, that’s just how DL is now. 

 

I didn't mean it as in they'd play at the same time more that you can go and see them then an early night lol

LP, Alice and Twisted Sister would be decent. I think I'd fore go the other days.

Here's hoping they book Yungblud to sub LP but I can't see it but I can see him playing under GNR.


He’ll sub Limp Bizkit, he’s friends with them and is supporting his SA tour in Nov/Dec this year.

To be fair there’s nothing to suggest Guns n Roses are touring next year either, apart from the ‘rumours’. 
 

It’s still early, lots of festivals haven’t announced anything yet. 

 

True but the same person who predicted Limp Bizkit said GnR so we’ve got more to go on for GnR than Ghost atm.

Didn’t know that about the YB / LB connection. 
 

I can see them putting him below GNR, though, as they seem to be pushing him lately as some sort of ‘new face of rock’.

Just had a thought, I know someone mentioned that Parkway would be around next year 

 

I know they are a borderline headliner but their arena tour hasn't sold too well. You can have them sub LB which would be a strong sub for a 'weak-ish' headliner 

 

You could even have them co-headline with LB which would sort the lack of material concerns with LB but Download would never do that lol

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
