What are everyone's thoughts on Reverence then? 

Songs like Prey and Absolute Power are going to be brilliant live.

That Saturday line up is dreadful. What happens if Guns N Roses turn up late, which they have a habit of doing? Can imagine thousands of angry, disappointed Download goers. 

 

Sunday isn't much better with Ozzy Osbourne.

 

That leaves Avenged Sevenfold as the only good headliner.

i actually believe guns n roses and ozzy osbourne are both awesome headliners for this sh0w even they dont sound as good as they used to be both of them are still legends!

Both are still box office acts especially Guns N Roses after their massive reunion. No doubt time has caught up on Ozzy but the name and reputation alone is unparalleled. There’s enough bands spread over the weekend to make this an incredible festival. I haven’t worried once about it being a flop

GNR (specifically Axl) have been the model of professionalism this tour. There has been no turning up late and making fans wait. I’ve read and heard from everywhere that this tour is one of the best shows anyone will ever see so I’m very much ready for the Saturday night of DL. 

[Andre91]

Copping replied to my Tweet asking if Parkway Drive will be clashing with GNR saying ‘No.’ 

He also replied to someone else saying they won’t be clashing. 

[Andre91]

Winston McCall of Parkway Drive also confirmed on this weeks That’s Not Metal Parkway Drive feature that they won’t be clashing with GNR and there ‘might even be a bit of a gap’ between Parkway ending and GNR starting.

Parkway Drives new album is bloody great. Had heard much of them until I heard a few of their singles on spotify ads. They should get everyone going

Yes, you can. They've published a list of all the things you can and can't bring into the arena and campsite on their website:

Here is a link to where the festival is on that site. You should be able to sign in at the top and find out. If that doesn't work then if you go to the 'CONTACT' link on the top of the page it redirects you to Ticketmaster (same company, different storefront) customer service and get in touch.

Anyone got some insight in to the Zippo Sessions? The DL app intimates that it’ll be exclusive sessions by as yet unnamed bands. All you need to do is buy a lighter.....

[Charlietheory]

Should be seeing the band times soon right?
