NorthernSoul52 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Blimey. That's quite the situation. I mean, let's be fair - if you've got a set budget to spread across three acts and you've finally managed to nab Green Day - assuming they were a lock as early as the summer - then I understand lowballing Sleep Token if MCR are also on the page. My Chemical Romance / Green Day / Sleep Token Then: My Chemical Romance / Green Day / Korn Then: Muse / Green Day / Korn Then: Sleep Token / Green Day / Korn Which is kind of insane, because it would mean Korn came in as a replacement for the smallest headliner of the three, who then came back anyway.

Bluewolf Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago It's still a strange one for me Green Day as big as they are playing the Friday when historically the bigger band plays the Saturday which draws bigger ticket sales. Just makes me think whether they initially said yes and then pulled the plug. It's a least an 18 hour drive from UK to Florence maybe longer for a truck on tacho rules. I'm less convinced they are at Download now for those reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quote obvious Korn were chose due to dropouts/not getting their bands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, moreso initially that they were cheap to offset MCR + Green day or Muse + Green Day or whatever. Then rather than dumping them they're just giving them the spot anyway and either pocketing the change or spending it on a bigger undercard.

Andre91 Posted 42 minutes ago Author Report Share Posted 42 minutes ago The thought of them having both MCR and Green Day in the same year is mad. Two of the biggest bookings they could make. If MCR are sticking around, it could work out better in the long run not having them in the same year and they can spread them out over multiple festivals.
