Guinness Presents Download.

Imagine the bar queue.

Second stage isn't fit for purpose if they intend to keep it clash free, it was just big enough when bands clashd.

Something must of happened for Download just to drop them as they were on all the advertising till today 

It’s bigger than that. Live Nation are a major investor in Liquid Death, so this decision will not be Download’s to make. I suspect they’ve just made a decision to tone down the branding, but it will still be the only water available to buy in the arena.

Not bad. I don’t think we’ll get Deftones or Judas Priest though. I also don’t see Bullet subbing Green Day.

I would be surprised at Judas Priest. Out of all the subs we would think there is more chance of currently happening, Bullet are definitely the one I'd say I'd prefer under Green Day. The only other one is Rob Zombie. This is just based on name drops.

@Frankly Mr Shankly been said by someone connected to who does the merch than Deftones are below ST. I won't take it as gospel but it sounds like the person who name dropped isn't just a random. I didn't expect them back so soon. I feel Bullet would be a lightweight choice to go under Korn as a sub...they aren't a big sub at all in my view these days and name would be carrying it more than warranted position. They could be second stage headliner but I've just ran with the information that's actually been said rather than guess.

Deftones to sub Sleep Token you say?

 

Interesting.

 

One of those bands who I just kind of assumed were "about" the same size as Korn in this day and age, along with Limp Bizkit, so fascinating they've retained them as a sub when the former are getting the leg-up.

They are the same size, korn are headling due to a pull out. They can't do that twice in one year, hencevthey went back and offered ST more incentive. Can you imagine GD, Detones and Korn jesus. You can't have a Crystal Palace Park headliner playing to 15k headline even a reduced 75-80k event.
