2014 1st headliner

[theramm]

So we've got all our mainstage headliners & subs and the conversation is still on Pearl Jam?!? Pretty much sums up the general reaction to Download 2014. Reckon I'm gonna hold out on buying tickets, got a feeling there's gonna be a lot of 'competitions' next year…either that or it'll be on 'Groupon'.

Well I was a little underwhelmed but I've been listening to a Download 2014 playlist all morning and pretty damn excited now... think I'll enjoy all six bands... no one is oh my god amazing but I like all six.

I'd love within temptation 3rd down saturday

[SOAD]

Plus on Shinedown I never really cared for them but thought they were wonderful live on the Alter Bridge tour... would be better if they just got on with it and played songs but I'd be very happy for them to turn up at Download again. Same with Halestorm although I've loved Halestorm for a while... think they will do well on mainstage (can't see them being anywhere else after their new headline dates)

copping probably is for hos defensive ways and rants etc.

well done luckysalt I say, this where some people are right.

[theramm]

Who moaned Lucky? Fuck em'!

Your rumours are always appreciated as we know it's legit & not some attention seeking twonk.

Anyway the line up. Im actually ok with it and 2011 was one of my favourite Downloads, I loved that it was less busy it seemed it was still busy with real fans instead of dickhead casuals who were ignorant to other people on the site.

Im probably gunna go next year all being well. Hopefully we get Cooper and Crue as second stage Fri and Sat

Cheers man, not saying I do it for the praise but got a lot of moaning this year for sharing what I got told, not sure its worth the effort in the future. Think i'll keep it to myself. I have done plenty of times to be honest.

I think what we have so far is very poor. I was doubting my attendance next year, and the bands announced so far hold nothing for me. Huge undercard and glorious sunshine might make me change my mind.

I liked 2011! Main was mobbed for A7X, as tightly packed as I've known it, and they've got bigger since then. FOB (yuck) are really popular too although the majority of their fans might still be at school during Download. There might be a new 'wave' of fans at this DL. Much as I'd love to have Rammstein, ACDC, Metallica and Sabbath on repeat, things have to move on.

Yeah.... ummm.... I just put a deposit down...

2011 was a good year as it was quieter & it made stage hopping a lot easier, although everyone leaving on the Sunday was a bit odd. Ahead of the festival everyone's giving it 'The weather wont spoil our fun' then when the temperature dropped & the rain came you see all these burly biker types packing up & going home lol.

I'll be very interested in who R&L have got. After them having potential DL headliners as subs this year & 3 actual headliners that could've easily played Download I'm curious as to whether they keep this up or pick a couple of 'indie' acts like Arctic Monkeys/Kings of Leon.

Metallica, arctic monkeys and fatm I've heard.

They're hit and miss, for example they new way in advance skrillex was headlining the NME last year, hence why I had it in all my predictions.

The fatm bit I'm not sold on, I'd heard previously they were on hiatus till august 14. Can't see them coming back to headline with no new material but stranger thongs have happened.
