Deftones and Judas Priest doing their own shows doesn't rule them out    It makes them unlikely but it could be that Download are waiting for their shows to sell out before announcing them    It's normally only headliners that need to be exclusive (but Download would obviously rather their other logo bands be exclusive too) 

out of upvotes but 100%.  the mistake with Williams Green was booking the silly big acts there on the Thursday - It was a fantastic to escape from the bigger stages to catch a little act - The normal Fri - SUN program was epic   Lets Eat Grandma playing there in 2017 is up there with one of the best things ive ever seen at the festival 

Korn seem to be headlining almost every Rock/Metal festival in Europe    Yes I understand that just because they headline other similar sized European festivals it doesn't mean that they are big enough in the UK but Hellfest have also given them the bump up after being a second stage headliner/main stage sub before so I don't understand why people are refusing to believe that they haven't grown in popularity recently (like Nu Metal in general)   Sleep Token's ticket sales speak for themselves you're just deluded if you don't think they are big enough now 

Re: discussion on who Download missed out on -   I think Download have a good set of headliners, I just think the support bill is really poor. Personal taste though of course.    Deftones and Judas Priest doing their own shows whilst Download books Steel Panther once again? Hmmmmmm.....

I consider myself young and I'd love to see Pulp at Glasto, even though I saw them a few months ago.    Anyway, I understand that booking a lineup the size of Glastonbury is complex and there are many factors to consider. But for me, it's rare and quite unusual that there are subs like Chappell who could draw a bigger crowd than a hideliner like the 1975. But maybe I'm underestimating them.
