foolee Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Yeah I originally thought it’d be an issue but it won’t be as quite a few bands did it last year. Apparently Download have some sort of visa exception for the bands which makes doing UK to Europe a bit easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe they were the only one's over the last two years that did so maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant imagine VV having much to take over and Sum 41 being on a last jaunt obviously. It may happen but not sure I see a band with a headline show doing it. They could even be Friday at Download below Green Day but I don't see that...nor do it want it. JEW and RA are the exact options lol. Download announcement is two days before JEW tour kicks off too. Green Day and then two would probably be one of the best days Download have booked. RA surely won't be on Korn day as that happened recent enough and ST have options haha.

callum97 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago JEW aren’t subbing or even playing 3rd down, same with rise against plenty of bands do Europe the next day. I’m not 100% sold on idles being there but it’s a likely possibility I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find 10 bands that play between Nova Rock and Download with no days gap from last year fairpkay. Wargasm are another but no significant staging needed etc. You will find bands that play Thursday/Friday and play Saturday/Sunday but it's very rate for bands to do both back to back from what I see.

callum97 Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Sum 41, baby metal, frank carter, hanabie, Wargasm, architects in 2023 I can find more but that’s just a bunch at a quick glance, it’s not that rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these did UK then mainland Europe or mainland Europe and then UK without a day in between last year so doesn’t actually rule anyone out. Frank Carter, Holding Absence, Thy Art is Murder, Tom Morello, Soft Play, Sum 41, Kerry King, The Struts, Hannabie, Escape the Fate, Royal Republic.

Yeah to be fair there is cases but Tom Morello for example played download and paris back to back but with a day before and after. Thy Art is Murder randomly did 3 different places on 4 days. It all depends what setup you've got to take. Specifically Nova and Download thougg there is no many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think JEW will play 4th down Green Day, Frank Carter will play 3rd and Rise Against will sub second allowing an alternative to Frank Carter. 5 minutes ago, callum97 said: I am leaning to think that green day are on the Friday now They aren't going to be any other day. Italy definitely isn't happening back to back with us. Edited 1 hour ago by northernangel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turnstile is going to much towards other heavier days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just about that, it's about what kinda production and how far a band is travelling for the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well obviously, but it's also very true that Download is probably the best connected festival in the country in terms of planes trains and automobiles.
