Need those day splits to see which day works best for me, when did we get them last year?

[Andre91]

Turnstile, Emperor, HEALTH, Underoath, The Acacia Strain, Sanguisugabogg, Suffocation, Kvelertak, Asinhell, Batushka, P.O.D, Of Mice & Men, Mr Bungle.

Patiently waiting for the leaker to arrive 

[Dukey]

If Shikari are there I think it’ll be after their tour - wouldn’t be surprised to see We Came as Romans and Kingdom of Giants added after their tour with Bury Tomorrow

I hope so but according to their fb page the announcement is just a tour (Dani did say on the tour that ended last week that they would be touring in November again).

Is Busted at Download full on 'The Game's Gone' territory?

I very much enjoy the fact that Fightstar turned down Download this year but Busted have rocked up. Bookers obviously desperate for some Charlie Simpson action.

[Andre91]

Excellent announcement. 

[northernangel]

Decent they put Sum 41 on main stage and not have an overnight second stage for their last festical. Had I cared about a Sunday headliner I'd go for the headliner, Sum 41 and Limp Bizkit (though them subbing is a bit pushed). 

I've got 5 acts/4 clash free across the 4 days that I could see clash free so I'm out.

Busted is strange.

When are day tickets released?

[Jericode]

Honestly that line up is so good.

[49Lawson]

If I was going this year I think I could actually cobble together a fairly decent weekend clashes depending, fair play to them

[LazyDavid]

Announcement got the group chat interested again, some good stuff in there

[FloopFiller]

I’m actually very impressed with the lineup after thinking the initial announcement was a bit naff - it’s filled out very nicely.

Busted at Download is something I thought I’d never see but I’m very down for it - this years lineup is the first signs of Download moving in a direction it desperately needed to move in to survive. Whether they’ll continue this progress after this year or whether the Download audience in general will be in to it/it’ll sell well remains to be seen, but that’s one of the freshest Download lineups I’ve seen in a while and they’ve only had to change up a few acts. 

[Andre91]

Someone has updated the clashfinder and going off of that, my weekend looks GLORIOUS: 

URNE > The Callous Daoboys > Zulu > Polyphia > Speed > Heilung > Bad Omens > Queens of the Stone Age 

 

Celestial Sanctuary > Asinhell > Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes > Guilt Trip > Gel > Dying Wish > Enter Shikari > The Offspring > Pantera > Fall Out Boy 

 

Royal Republic > Code Orange > Thy Art Is Murder > Electric Callboy > Limp Bizkit > Machine Head > Avenged Sevenfold

Headliners aren't amazing, but thats an old conversation now. The undercard is varied as Download has ever been. I'd buy a day ticket for Saturday in a heartbeat if Electric Callboy were on that day. I'm 50/50

Did you notice Pentera overlapping heavily with Fall Out Boy. I only ask as checked how it panned out

They overlapped ever so slightly.

It might have changed since you looked as you'd get about 15 minutes of Pantera in for a good FOB slot now.

And some people thought Muse were too soft for Download.

Though tbf I'm not sure if they'd draw enough people away from Queens of the Stone Age. I could be wrong and knowing me, probably am.

They’ll draw a massive crowd I’m sure of it. Guessing this years lineup will draw a lot of non-metalhead/more pop/punk types and they’ll be all over it.
