Would NIN/Muse/LP go down well?

Yes I think it would. Though I’m pretty much in support of any band combination as headliner as long as GnR, Tool and Def Leppard aren’t in it 🤣 even Limp Bizkit I’d be fine with them headlining, will I be thrilled no will I moan at first yes because I’ve seen them last 2 years. Will I have a lot of fun during their set and not care about what I just said, YES 🤣

I find it funny you say that then that proceed to give your personal feelings. You're using "business logic" as an explanation of NorthernAngel was wrong yet you're very crudely thinking "people know GNR therefore it makes business sense".

If you look at the Download line-ups since the refresh a couple years ago, you'll see Guns 'n Roses does not fit the profile of artists Download has been going after for their headliners since 2023. At least how I see it.

Didnt say anything personal aside from axl cant sing in my opinion. business logic dictates gnr are a massive ticket seller due to their popularity. it's not anything controversial, it's factual. they also had metallica since 2023, there's no rule suddenly outlawing massive bands from 70/80/90s because they're blooding younger bands.

For the record, I don't dislike GNR. The person feeling and it's widely shared that Axl is poor. I personally think LP will out sell GNR at Download also day long currently. 

i agree, his vocals are shot to pieces sadly. but i dont think that will have any real impact on ticket sales. people just like to say 'i was there' linkin park will sell well as they havent rinsed it to death for 10 years like gnr - but without chester, it's not quite the same draw.

    • Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.  
    • Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....
    • went to their album launch show last night at the george tavern. it was fantastic! absolutely roasting in there though
    • I got mine yesterday but they sent the wrong ticket link, so had to email Ticketmaster and get the right one.    As for predictions, hard to see who else could do the Pulp/Sting/Byrne slot other than the Cure, and since they did Isle of Wight they maybe have an FR deal (Sting did both). It’s also the Cure’s 50th next year so imagine they’ll be doing a bigger tour. Pet Shop Boys or Kylie maybe?   Wolf Alice would be a dream. It’ll probably all be men again though. 
    • Probably a couple of months yet....last ticket sale announcement was 10th October 2024.
