That's not a bad undercard at all 

[rock_on]

The undercard is absolutely stacked regardless of the poor selection of headliners. Shame it's Download so all the good bands will clash with each other and the only band playing being the headliners will mean early finishes for all the other stages.

How anyone can complain at those headliners is beyond me. It's huge

You clearly weren't at GNR in 2018.  

[Audiorocker]

So much stronger than last year 👍👍

Which headliners did you expect? That’s f**kin expensive duo plus Limp Bizkit and I’m surprised that they have such a good undercard. Is Volbeat and Sabaton better than this??

[gingerevans84]

Superb line up. Hats off.

[OllieJ77]

Headliners aside I think that is a very stacked lineup. Very very happy with the undercard.

Reckon we are still without a main sub? Architects and Bad Omens sub Trivium Cyprus Hill second stage?

[Gejonimo]

Loving the love in here. That is a great line-up, fair play.

I'm interested enough to see where acts find themselves. I've got 17 acts there of interest and that's only including 1 of the top 7. Halestorm is a nice pull

[TheGoodOldDays]

Good lineup, when do we usually find out day splits?

[NorthernSoul52]

Didn't somebody once say Bad Omens would headline the next time they played on here? Swore somebody did. (This is not me fishing to start a fight, I'm just trying to remember. Head is a shed these days, hence my absence from the forums.)

[Larosterna]

Undercard is pretty damn good, shame no ADTR or Megadeth but there is a ton of great stuff on there. Can't believe Feeder actually happened.

Nope but I know plenty of people liked it.

Honestly not bad. Not too my tastes as much as last year but from what’s about I think they’ve done a decent job. Might come for the GNR day, hoping for Architects and Feeder on the same day. Dinosaur Pile Up one of the albums of the year too, great booking. Ash is random but a good booking too.

GNR are one of the best rock bands of all time but they aren't great live as evidenced in 2018 and are frankly a waste of money. I was expecting Linkin Park and then maybe two of Ghost / Architects / Parkway Drive given the trend to more modern bands in recent years. I'd rather have Sabaton headline Friday than Limp Bizkit as well...

I'm a fan. Only real shame is no Ghost. Also surprised by no Papa Roach (I'm aware of the RfP/Greenfield dates). I wonder if they're in line for Piece Hall or London park dates.

Surprised halestorm didn't weigh in for RIP, it's ran by the same promotional company that did their tour in Germany

[Gingerfish79]

Love the line up to be fair. Roughly how many bands do they normally hold back for later announcements?

They’ll do something over here. Possibly double bill with The Offspring? ala Weezer/Deftones last year
