Download have announced SLIPKNOT - Judas Priest - FFDP & Black Stone Cherry (2nd stage headliner).

 

Next announcements are said to be MUSE - Faith No More - A Day to Remember & Marilyn Manson (2nd) & (the previous leaked) KISS - Motley Crue - Slash & Enter Shikari (2nd).

I've just realised,

Download 2013: Friday headliners - Slipknot (Main), Black Stone Cherry (2nd)

 

Download 2015: Friday headliners - Slipknot (Main), Black Stone Cherry (2nd)

 

I know we said before about Slipknot doing a favour due to Pearl Jam pulling out, but that is fucking ridiculous

I wasn't one of them for the record, I couldn't give two hoots about them either way.

It says something that Download can attract an act as big as Muse for their festival (didn't they headline Glastonbury one year?), but people will always see a vaguely mainstream act as some kind of invader.

If they don't want to see Muse, stop bitching and go watch someone else

Interestingly Muse have booked themselves into a lot of Euro fests that normally favour heavier bands. Andy Copping has said Muse wanted to play Download this year to support their new album, which is apparently their 'heaviest' to date. Given Muse are one of the few bands that have surpassed festivals it's a sweet deal for Download. They could've easily gone down the Foo Fighters route & booked a bunch of stadium shows & raked it in.

It'll be Bloodstock again for me this year.

 

Loads of people are banging on about Hellfest on facebook, its a hell of a lineup granted but theres very little on that bill i aint seen over here, and at the end of the day theres only so many bands you can watch.

 

Is the Hellfest capacity really 150,000? That puts me off haha.
