Best announcement of today!

Are Opeth headlining 3rd or 3rd top of main on Friday?

I think the reason people are being negative to the announcement is cause it feels like the big slots are either not announced yet, or being filled with bands nowhere near big enough in a normal year. Steel Panther was a huge stretch (not confirmed for 3rd main but seems like it), but unless they have a few more to announce are we going to see Bowling for Soup and Black Label Society as the other 3rd tops? They both played much lower in previous years...

There are also tons of rock / metal bands I'd like to see Download book who haven't played recently or at all, but instead its just the past 3 years line ups being recycled into a new order... feel like Download could try a lot harder to avoid repeat booking so often,

2011 was the best in the arena for sure. You could get from stage to stage a lot easier but 2011 was still a much stronger bill than what we've got so far (in fairness, lots of the same big bands played!). Wonder if Download will be holdingh some 'competitions' nearer the date to bump up the numbers?

It's common for wikipedia to have fake / false lineups as people tend to enjoy editing it for lolz. However the guesses stuck in there seem extremely sensible. I would lean towards it just being a series of educated guesses - but someone with inside knowledge could of just stuck em all up. They certainly didn't make any dumb mistakes regarding band placement so it's clearly someone who follows DL festival quite avidly, if they are fakes.

Absolutely woeful mainstage line up if true and the gaps left to be filled would be awful for me. Second stage would also be shaping up pretty dire too, albeit BMTH would be a decent way to end the festival I guess (The clash with DEP would be annoying though).

I'm all but giving up for this years line up anyway, got some bands I like and less bands means I can chill more in the campsite - which I'm sure will be fun too. Maybe the crowd is gonna be realllllllllllllly small this year too, which would be a welcome change.
