Seen loads on socials at Green Day being questioned. I don't think ST would be as they are more a Download band, I'm not sure if I'd quite say Green Day were.

Everyone on socials questions everything about Download ever year. Sleep Token will get shat on so hard because they’re such a young band who loads of people wouldn’t have even heard of. Green Day will pull the biggest crowd of the weekend.

Yep I'm one of those who had never heard of Sleep Token before the rumours of them Headlining so I listened to them on YouTube and for me personally it was a tough listen...But apparently they shift a lot of tickets and I may be wrong here but I'm sure I read Live Nation have invested a lot in to promoting them hence the potential Headliner slot at Download.

The majority of them don't believe that Sleepy T are headlining. Wait until the 12th November. Once they realise they are watch the meltdown.

To be fair Green Day shouldn't even be in competition with crowd for the other two.

I keep telling people who get in a huff about sleep token headlining: whoever’s wrong owes the other a beer. Not even gonna bring my bank card next year, I’ll be drinking more than my body weight at this point 😅

Not being a seasoned metalhead, which bands are on top of their game right now (away from the massive acts) and would be recommended to see?

Do you mean acts on the up, acts that are releasing good material still (but have been around a while) or both? Also, on massive are you just classing that as people like Metallica, Maiden, Slipknot, Bring Me, Muse, MCR?

Yes precisely. Acts on the up in particular are what I'm interested in.
