Everybody knew about BSC last time as it was a pretty shit secret but they did post it on the big screens on the day.

Yeah they were on the press schedule as hell or high water all weekend so it was pretty easy to guess who it was

[luckysalt]

There will be gaps when the times are released so you'll know where the secret act is playing but Andy said they weren't being announced in advance this year.

We'll see eh? 4 weeks tomorrow til the bands start playing. Lets see what gets out.

[MONTHEBIFF2013]

When are they going to announce the replacement for the acoustic stage? Not long left.

[luckysalt]

Pretty sure its the Rock Up and Play stage replacing it.

Basically unsigned bands.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

King810 have pulled their entire Euro tour.

[Andre91]

Oh no what a shame...

[luckysalt]

King810 have pulled their entire Euro tour.

For the second year in a row.

Did everyone see the new announcements yesterday?

At The Gates added under Lacuna Coil on Main Stage Friday, so no surprise act there then, main stage is finished.

Also added Man With a Mission, Beasts and Al Murray's Geyser.

Also confirmed now only TWO secret sets and the third secret band will instead just be coming on for a special guest appearence during another bands set.

[devilman]

Alter bridge during Tremonti then. Or possibly Slash. Waste of a tune either way, much as I do like them.

[luckysalt]

Rumour on official boards that Teamrock said QOTSA were one of the secret bands.

Can't see it myself but who knows.

Eagles of Death Metal are playing sunday, could be Homme playing with them and then maybe some QOTSA tracks done?

[Moey]

Alter Bridge joining Slash?

[scrubbertheman]

Cadillac three and blues pills will be a must see for me on Friday

Not really into county music, but that Cadillac Three album just makes me smile like a div. Should be a good show

[luckysalt]

Andy Copping has only gone and named a fucking stage after himself. What a fucking w*nker.

here's my rant from official boards

Naming the third stage Maverick stage makes me feel sick.

What a load of ****ing ****.

Seriously how big an ego do you need to have to do that? I can't even believe he had the balls to say to people
yeah Ive chosen Maverick,
they say? Maverick? Why whats that?
Oh its my twitter handle.
What you're naming the third stage after yourself?
Yup! And next year we are getting rid of cashless and gunna make people change their real money for Download money and instead of the Queen's head on it it will be my face!

I mean seriously.

And the Jake thing, like others have said it was forgotten about in a couple of days, that kid only knew of Download cus of his mom, it was all about his mom really. Download got a bit of press time from it and they're desperately trying to recapture that.

The kind of people who look at that in the press and go oh Download festival I'll buy a ticket for that cus they did this, I don't want those ****s there, these are the type of people who go to gigs because the band is the hip thing at the moment and they stand there talking all the way through the bastard gig cus they certainly don't care about the music.

Rant over. Crock of ****.

[SOAD]

Really chuffed At The Gates were added. Will be great to see them finally

[dentalplan]

I just went onto the forums to find out who this Jake guy was and it's the first I'd heard of that and also the first I'd heard of 'a Download dog onesie' being the winning suggestion to improve the festival. Fucking hell.

[lightning1000]

I think to improve it they should cancel all the bands and just turn donnington into a big campervan park........

[Moey]

Anyone loaded up their dog tags yet?

[Lumz]

Yes, did mine as soon as my ticket arrived, such an easy process!

[luckysalt]

Anyone loaded up their dog tags yet?

Still aint had my ticket arrive yet

[thewayiam]

Any idea when set times are due to come out?

[scrubbertheman]

The timetable on the Clashfinder website is usually pretty close

[metallimuse]

Woop woop!Mate just offered me a day ticket for Saturday so I'm coming back to Download!First time since Metallica did full Master of Puppets album...so 9 years?

[Moey]

Yup, nine years. Different layout back then. Wasn't that when they had the stickers half-pipe??

Anyway, watching muse on bbc3. I'm hoping they're not wasting any of their heavy shit on the radio 1 crowd. Need to up their game for DL I think.

[Moey]

Snickers.

Fkin spell check.

[DomDom1984]

I've got a feeling that people might well be disappointed with the set that Muse play. I can't see them changing too much, other than to add the odd b-side and more new songs.
