This has been pretty much my exact feelings about it. It was pretty obvious and clear who to expect as main headliners for festivals like rock am ring/hellfest ect what has turned out spot on for the most part.
We have shared alot of the bands from rock am ring because it makes a lot of sense and financially makes sense so we get impressive names for both eventdfs but for me personally I think the main stage headliners bar one feels underwhelming and subpart in a significant way again IMO.
I love Korn I've seen them live a few times and they are great however I don't buy for absolutely no reason at all them being elevated to main stage headliners at this stage again just my opinion.
My feelings with sleep token going straight to the top billing mainly comes from not understanding why they are soh not bad music at all but I didn't think it was game changing again my opinion.
It's stunning that Andy and the download team have refused to elevate and give the push to every single band throughout the entirety of the festival but chose to do it with all three of the days and two of them being smaller names than normal.
