Bang tidy! Hoping for Primus, Monster Magnet, Porcupine Tree & Hed P.E but we will probably just get the scraps left from Rock Am Ring, Nova Rock & Graspop MM.

Wonder why they moved it forward from Weds?

[Dan R]

Any idea how the announcements going to be made? Radio,twitter etc?

[lharris92]

Normally I'd agree with you, but can't get into the new album at all, it's a bit dreary and one paced with no stand out tracks imho, and I've been a fan of everything they've done til now.

[lharris92]

oh and the announcement will be on twitter, the site, and kerrang site etc so all over the internet

[Go_Go_Tonymon]

Halestorm, Europe, Theory Of A Deadmam, Revoker, Symphony X, Adrenaline Mob & Elive..... I dunno who the other five will be though. im not expecting great things from tonights announcement, but i'd like a surprise though

[luckysalt]

So its

Europe

Halestorm

Firewind

Theory of A Deadman

Turbonegro

Turbowolf

Mallory Knox

Emmure

Broken

The Safety Fire

Anti Nowhere League

Stellar Revival

Thats the first MEH announcement for me, couldn't be bothered, but its just filler for the line up now. And a lot of those I don't know, in fact nearly all I don't know. Heard the names of a few mind

[luckysalt]

New poster

I see second stage now has a sponsor

[AcademicPistol]

Nothing special then, no Symphany X though?

[luckysalt]

They already sell them at the fest, they have their own tent/stall and usually they're about £50

[t8yman]

safety fire were alright at soni last year, but the clash with dtp by the looks of it.

otherwise - very meh.

Black Spiders have also been confirmed by AC

[luckysalt]

Andy just confirmed Black Spiders by mistake on twitter, but I spotted it before he could delete it, so he's fessed up and confirmed theyre playing.

Sunday, low second stage.

[luckysalt]

He's just said he'll be announcing another act later this week because 13 is an unlucky number.

He also just said ''wait and see'' when asked if there is a secret set this year.

For that don't know, when Andy says wait and see, 99% of the time, it means yes.

Never seen a festival lineup nosedive so far from a positive start. Not that arsed as I'm happy with Prodigy, Metallica, Biffy, C&S, Machine Head etc or whoever we've got but it's kind of embarrasing seeing the lineup fill it with so much tripe every few weeks. It baffles me where Download is getting a lot of these bands from, just confused and bewildered.

IMO it's heading to the worst undercard for DL in a long long time, once you start looking at bands below top 3 on the main stage.

Got a few bands I should probably check out at least.

The thing is now all the big slots have been announced a lot of the undercard announcements may seem poor and small but thats only due to the size of the announcement. Considering this is just small acts theres another 3 or 4 bands that ill want to be catching ( and should be able to do so clash free)

I still think it's an incredibly strong line-up and possibly the best in Europe this year (who im sure will be great fun )

[biffoire]

No-one there I'd watch but plenty announced which I will. Friday is looking slim for me whereas saturday and sunday are looking epicly good.
