With the Shinedown thing it must be remembered that they probably had Falling In Reverse ready to go in that slot so they’re more of a replacement booking. I think if FIR headed up this announcement it looks so much better!
Lineup feels very disjointed. It’s like Download is stuck between what it wants to be in the future and what it used to be. To truly move on I think they need to let Andy Copping go and stop relying on tired old repeats like Bullet, Shinedown, Rise Against, Korn, etc.
Yes! Coheed and Cambria was a great addition. Only downside is that if I want to get a spot were I will actually be able to see them, I'll have to leave Deftones a bit early (which is what I'll probably do).
I could see letlive. early in either the main stage or at the Barn.
Pet Shop Boys have (for me at least, slightly unexpectedly) announced that they're going to do some summer UK shows this year, continuing with the Dreamworld / Greatest Hits show.
Odds on them being one of the missing BST dates?
