It will be interesting to see if they keep the cap next year.
Thing is I think these big bands are increasing just going there own way, doing stadiums and selling a tonne of merch doing so. Plus Download seems to be actively trying to switch their audience to a younger crowd (I mean they are a business after all) so I think future bookings will reflect that. We'll see.
I'm seeing just as much gatekeeping from Gen Z these days, saying they don't want the older crowd there and using comments like 'bloodstock crowd' to describe all metal fans.
Why would someone who likes Blink automatically like MGK or Yungblud though?
To be fair on the booking Maiden argument you've got the organizer to blame for that as that's what he made a point if booking so many times because he had to have them instead of changing it up.
