Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 23, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted September 23, 2019 Im indifferent to the whole SOAD thing at this point. Ive seen live footage of their most recent reunions and it always appears to me that Serj and Daron dont look interested. It doesn't help that there appears to be constant bickering in-camp about putting out new music. It always feels like a cash grab every few years to me, get together, headline festivals worldwide and make a shit ton of money. You cant really knock them really though if people still turn out in droves to see them. ...i fully expect them to be one of the Download headliners. Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) Serj and Daron haven’t gotten along for the better part of 15 years. I’m amazed that they’re still able to put things aside even for a cash-grab, which is all that SOAD has been for years. Interested to see if they announce all 3 headliners in one go, like they have done previously, or just one with some of the undercard. There’s no-one that has been elevated to headliner status for a festival of its size, so it’ll be from the same pool of acts they usually have. Metallica haven’t played since 2013 so they’re a possibility, Aerosmith in the latest of the law of diminishing returns, KISS are still out on their “farewell” tour. At least we know it’s not going to be Def Leppard Bloodstock are announcing their first headliner next week Edited September 23, 2019 by WyattSheepMask Quote
King Mal the Glorious Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 I'd like to see SOAD some day but fuck gonig to Download. Hopefully they pop up at Graspop or something like that. Quote
Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) The only thing that would get me out of my grave to go to a festival would be the Misfits, it's not likely but it's not impossible. *edit Forgot Mercyful fate reformed, if they're playing bloodstock that's a must attend for me as well.

Well there is the Danzig fronted Misfits doing currently touring in the states. I wouldn't see them as headliners, but there is a chance of the doing the European festival circuit. Quote

I know man, they're playing stadiums in the states and tickets are 200 quid, I would have thought their legendary status would elevate them to headline any festival but I worship Danzig so I'm pretty biased.

Rey_Piste Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) It's a bit different to about 15 years ago when I saw the "Misfits" playing in a leisure centre. They had Dez from Black Flag and Marky Ramone on drums with Jerry Only singing. As well as Misfits stuff they did Black Flag and Ramones songs. Edited September 23, 2019 by Rey_Piste Quote
Paid Members Dead Mike Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 23, 2019 Download headliners are Iron Maiden, System of a Down & KISS. Also playing are Deftones, The Offspring, Korn, Gojira, Daughtry, Black Veil Brides, Disturbed, Alestrom & Of Mice and Men. Quote

The Gaffer Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 That Download line up is the exact Kerrangy zeitgeist I go to it for, so it'll be three in a row for us. Gonna bop about like it's the Attitude Era. Quote
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 23, 2019 Author Paid Members Posted September 23, 2019 exactly Gay, if anyone complains and demands anything else they are going to the wrong festival. Quote
Members SuperBacon Posted September 23, 2019 Members Posted September 23, 2019 I pray that Deftones get added to the SOAD day. Korn too. Quote
Paid Members mim731 Posted September 23, 2019 Paid Members Posted September 23, 2019 It's been a while since I've been to big festival, how much is a weekend ticket to Download likely to set me back? Quote
