Babymetal, as much as I love them, never play long enough to justify the price in my head. A shame, because there's some banging tunes.

Especially true if you bought a Download ticket to see them.

As in specifically?

I don't think Steel Panther are headlining now. That's a bad set of second stage bands though for me personally, I'd see 4 of them but only interested in three.

[NorthernSoul52]

I'd be fascinated to see how Within Temptation fare. They had a pretty ropey crowd in Leeds the other night, which was a shame - great show.

Having seen Sleep Token last night in Manc, I am confident they will be the highlight of the weekend, and everyone will walk away impressed at the very least. They'll be a stadium band within 5 years.

Any chance of having Turnstile at Sat or Sun of Download given they aren’t at the Manchester Outbreak but are in the UK the same weekend? I haven’t looked at their dates pre comment so this could be well out or not even possible but saw the recent outbreak announcements and it was my first thought.

Some places are reporting it as a UK exclusive. So probably not.

[NorthernSoul52]

Think it said it was a UK exclusive on the poster, though I could be wrong.

 

Genuinely didn't realise they were that big.

Biggest hardcore band in the world.

You learn something new every day.

Falling In Reverse tour cancelled (hahaha lol excellent) due to Ronnie's visa being denied. Was expecting them to be a logo band, possible sub, so hopefully this bins them off if they were ever planning and opens the door for someone else. 

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

Suspect they were the missing sub and LiveNation held back from putting them in the first announcement because of the uncertainty around the visa issue. 
 

If Ronald Radish is out, I wonder how long it’ll be before Andy gets on the phone to Skindred.
