Heart are probably touring Europe according Nancy Wilson. Were they also not on the line up a few years ago when they had to cancel?

Oh my god, I would love it if Heart played!

 

Only if they play All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You - otherwise they can get stuffed.#

 

Shame REO Speedwagon are no longer a going concern as they'd have made great legacy headliners. Surprised the festival have never tried for them.

REO Speedwagon headlining Download? 🤣🤣🤣 

 

Did you find something I said funny? There was no humour intended! They'd have been brilliant. As I said though not going to happen as they're a no longer a going concern - but they'd absolutely have smashed it.

Don’t think REO had quite the same pull here as in the US, even at their peak. Legacy subs/“special guests” I could have seen.

 

They might not be as big in the UK as they were in the US but they were still a massive band and one of the last proper legacy acts still going. Maybe if their health issues improve they might reunite again - at which point Download should give them however much money they ask for.

Yeah, I found REO Speedwagon headlining Download funny. Because it is.

I’d put them on the same level as Whitesnake/Motley Crue; yeah, they’re a proper legacy act, but just not big enough to headline.

 

Whitesnake and Motley Crue are both big enough to headline if they don't try and force their newer music down people's throats. I'd put them on par with Def Leppard as legacy acts so could do it.

It's rubbish, there's no chance Muse ever do Download again after last time.

I'm not saying it's not rubbish, just confused why I'm hearing it in multiple places at once and seeing if it's coming from somewhere or just a monkey with a typewriter situation. Within the space of 30 minutes, I've heard it come up I think four times, each one more confident than the last.

 

Not saying it's true or fake, just wanted to know if it's a prediction or if it's another one of those "my mate who knows everything said it so it's true" kinda deals.

It’s just people saying it’s who they would like.

    • 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.
