Top 3 on main each day and 2nd stage headliners generally get their logo on the poster rather than just their name in plain vanilla font. You going again? Have to arrange a beer and e-festivals chat  

[Muppetmark]

I know the dates are a long way off but im surprised halestorm has announced more than 1 date for after DL. Not sure they'll be there anymore 

Sun November 24 2019 - GLASGOW SSE Hydro
Mon November 25 2019 - NOTTINGHAM Motorpoint Arena
Wed November 27 2019 - CARDIFF Motorpoint Arena

No, I don't think it ever will. I may be wrong but I think they have the ability to push capacity to about 110,000 if tickets sell well.

Demons & Wizards? Wonder what they write songs about.

Tenacious D are surely more likely for Ramblin Man or something now, right? Don't see why they'd have skipped announcing them yday when they were announced for all sorts of other things.

Demons & Wizards are a Blind Guardian singer project, with the guitarist from Iced Earth. They're playing everywhere in the summer, would like to see them in a opening spot at Zippo Encor

Why are Reel Big Fish and Underoath not in alphabetical order on the poster? Can't unsee.

I should elaborate.

tenacious D being sub seems weird. I’ve seen them at download. Once is enough and then the novelty wears off. A little like steel panther. Think of it like a one night stand. Good the first time, a little disappointing the 2nd. 

I saw kiss when they headlined dl. Again, a one night stand ( with a lot of tongue)

saw disturbed at dl too. That turned into a karaoke didn’t it?

def Leppard - I’m from Sheffield, so have to approve that.

the rest I’m not fussed with. However, I will gladly raise my horns for Amon Amarth. They do indeed float my (Viking) boat.

 

[Lukeas]

This is what I'm thinking:
 

Def Leppard / Slash / Whitesnake

Tenacious D / Steel Panther / Amon Amarth

 

Slipknot / Slayer / Trivium / Anthrax 

Die Antwoord / Eagles of Death Metal

 

Tool / Smashing Pumpkins / Dream Theatre / Opeth

Rob Zombie / Lamb of God

[Andre91]

Def Leppard / Slash / Whitesnake 

Trivium / Lamb of God 

Slipknot / Slayer / Rob Zombie / Amon Amarth / Anthrax 

Within Temptation / Dream Theatre 

Tool / The Smashing Pumpkins / Die Antwoord / Opeth 

Enter Shikari / Eagles of Death Metal 

[Mad Season]

so do we wait for a 3rd festival announcement now (around december i suppose) or just wait for bands to announce themselves?

[Chinaski_]

Meh the Pumpkins playing a 45 min set seems like such a waste. Hopefully they play somewhere in Europe or do a warm up show.

Still too short for me. 2hrs would be good. 

[callum97]

Architects playing Download Madrid, could they still play Donnington with the spaces left? i'm still hoping...

[Spiral_Low]

Pretty sure from previous years that of the logo bands the subheadliners and 2nd stage headliners given equal size on poster.

So by that logic

 

Fri - Def Leppard/Slash

Sat - Slipknot/Slayer

Sun - Tool/Smashing Pumpkins

Then 2nd stage healiners Rob Zombie, Die Antwoord and Whitesnake.

Then the other 4 logo bands plus 2 more to come - 3 will be 3rd down Main Stage and 3 will be 2nd on 2nd stage. So would have thought Lamb Of God below Slayer and Dream Theater below Smashing Pumpkins. Given that sense it terms of fanbase. Trivium on 2nd stage (below Rob Zombie?) and maybe EODM 3rd below Slash.

 

Edit: though actuslly 3rd and 4th stage are logo bands too...Trivium to headline one of those?
