Odessa Posted November 5, 2018 Report Share Posted November 5, 2018 No sign on Download's social media of the original poster anymore where Die Antwoord were down the bottom. Just the "South African press release" one with them alongside Slash and Whitesnake, so they're defo on for a big slot. Hopefully on the main stage.

Because artists often just list the first day of the festival on their tour dates, regardless of which day they're playing. So if an act has Saturday or Sunday then they're probably playing that day, but if they have Friday then they still could be any day.

Yeah I mentioned this in my original post a few pages back, I think Slash might be busy across the other days tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrielomachado Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) I would love to see Lynyrd Skynyrd or ZZ Top somewhere on the bill but sadly all the three highest spots on "old rock day" are now unavailible maybe one of them could headline zippo encore on Tool or Slipknot days?

Andre91 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 (edited) Skynyrd are doing an arena tour at the end of June so they’re ruled out (not that they would have played lower than third anyway).

If you meant in terms of the line up then I do agree that they would be wise to have a 'traditional' Download band against them to draw away anyone that isn't a fan. Slayer or Whitesnake would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer or Whitesnake would make sense. Although it is, they were never huge with a massive wide audience here and they also will be booked on a line-up which never sells out and isn't mainstream enough for that. You need a decent day for it as the only thing I know of Download selling out in recent times is AC/DC day tickets. Reading can sellout on Metallica playing and yet Download couldn't.

Raf86 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Slash's tour dates show 14th @ 7:00pm. Could they be subbing Def Leppard? Or just default day and time maybe? I could see it tbf with Whitesnake third down which leaves the Slipknot sub still to be announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabrielomachado Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Pretty sure Slash will be third down. Last time Whitesnake played Download they almost co-headlined with Leppard, and Slash is not that big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabrielomachado Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Slash don't even plays GnR songs anymore, and he was there last year with his (now) main band. He last album was just ok too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh without GNR there is nothing to stick him to Pyramid for me but he won't agree to play and without it I'd suspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
