That's gonna be a no from me. I think the headliners are ok, I don't like Sleep Token but Korn are great and Green Day are an obvious choice.   But I think the undercard is pretty weak in terms of what I like. Most of the bands I'd want to see I've either seen or have/had the chance to see on their own tours so with the expense Download costs these days it's not worth it.

Playing devils advocate for a moment it wasn't really as the enquiry regarded stats concerning second hand smoke in open air.   The truth is that most of the (limited) studies conducted relate mostly to outdoor areas where smokers gather, beer gardens, smoking areas in pubs, hospitals etc. and relate to particulate matter in the air which would be far cry from the discussion of second hand smoke at a music festival.   In my opinion which is based on no scientific evidence whatsoever I would say that unless you were stood within a few inches of a heavy smoker you would be far more likely to suffer adverse health effects from the dust and particulate matter stirred up by 150,000 people walking about.

I think we’ve got these to come:    Apex sub: Falling In Reverse    Opus sub: Til Lindemann   Avalanche headliners: Bury Tomorrow, letlive.

I would be argue every fan think their team would be the beneficiaries of fair refereeing.
