"I'm sick of the same old headliners every year!"   *Download does something new and different*   "No, no not like that!"

I was at Slam Dunk 2023 when people were complaining about queuing for 5 hours for food. If you’re stupid enough to stand around for that long, more fool you. Wait a bit until it dies down or push you

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.

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.

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.

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. 


Hopefully they’ll get a fairly decent sub in place unless Ronnie gets his visa sorted in time but not sure if it’ll get waived or there’s an exception for this sort of thing but they didn’t sort it in time for the tour. Not sure who is about they could get that could slot in last minute but FIR seem to still be on a lot of the other European lineups so could still be announced next year.

Unless the home office change the rules,  Ronnie isn’t getting a visa for the UK.  Other European countries have their own rules.

The media have been going ballistic at Labour for wanting to make rich people and companies pay a bit more tax. There's no way they are gonna relax visa rules and add even more fuel to the fire.

So looking at tours and other festivals Download lost out on Foo Fighters, Muse, Linkin Park, Bring Me The Horizon as potential bands that could have headlined.

This has been pretty much my exact feelings about it. It was pretty obvious and clear who to expect as main headliners for festivals like rock am ring/hellfest ect what has turned out spot on for the most part. 

We have shared alot of the bands from rock am ring because it makes a lot of sense and financially makes sense so we get impressive names for both eventdfs but for me personally I think the main stage headliners bar one feels underwhelming and subpart in a significant way again IMO.

 

I love Korn I've seen them live a few times and they are great however I don't buy for absolutely no reason at all them being elevated to main stage headliners at this stage again just my opinion.

 

My feelings with sleep token going straight to the top billing mainly comes from not understanding why they are soh not bad music at all but I didn't think it was game changing again my opinion. 

 

It's stunning that Andy and the download team have refused to elevate and give the push to every single band throughout the entirety of the festival but chose to do it with all three of the days and two of them being smaller names than normal.
