Thank you, Gazza, very cool.

Pretty sure Slash will be third down. Last time Whitesnake played Download they almost co-headlined with Leppard, and Slash is not that big

I just looked at his tour and it's almost entirely sold out despite tickets being roughly £60 each! No chance he isn't subbing.

All four of the dates don’t even equate to 10,000 tickets though. I think third down is right for him.

So? It’s not like subs generally tend to be fully fledged arena headliners. Guy is selling out sub-level shows at headline-level prices and peeps trying to put him on with two bands above smh.

But Slash will be on Leppard and Whitesnake day, can't see him subbing while Whitesnake is third down

Don’t think that’s true. I would guess that the date on his website is just the first date of Download weekend, which isn’t giving out the day splits yet.

To be honest though, Whitesnake are an arena support act for shows that are cheaper to get into than the Slash concerts. Yes I am really fixated on those prices, it’s astounding. But anyway, they aren’t as big as they were when they coheadlined and I would actually bet on Slash subbing over them if they were on the same day.

I guess you're right. I can see him subbing myself but I think him and Whitesnake are interchangeable. 

Enter Shikari should have subbed by now ffs

If you're flying wouldn't somewhere else be better.  Berlin is a much better city than Milton Keynes!!  

I know. Just back from seeing Nightwish and Greta van Fleet there. German dates too close to Download and a 2 flight journey each way. 5 of us got Rammstein tix through Lifad for MK. Never been and really looking forward to it.

Shame it doesn't look like Architects will be there, their new album is an absolute masterpiece.

It's proper good. I was not expecting The Seventh Circle to kick in like that, nearly jumped out my window. 

[gabrielomachado]

Architects album is THE album of the year. still hoping to see them subbing 

[Andre91]

Forget album of the year, Architects have just released the album of the decade. 

[gabrielomachado]

Maybe they will even headline in 2020 or 2021 who knows

There is a track where Matt Bellamy raps over a Bollywood Hip Hop beat right after a Tom Morello style guitar rift. I think that answers your question

I genuinely had to go and sit on the toilet in the library whilst listening to it because I kept bursting out laughing and people were looking at me funny.

No it's just properly horrendous.

Except for Pressure, but that's just a good tune, not one of the funny ones.

Dropkick Murphys can be big enough to headline 2nd? I guess we have one headliner of that stage missing, the other two must be Rob Zombie and Trivium.
