Have been going the past 4 years & it's great but I fancied a change this year so I'm going to Sonisphere.
AC/DC will be cool at Donny but not too bothered as I saw them last year anyhow.

Pretty good first announcement. Saw AC/DC and TCV last year but would love to see both again, and obviously STP. Wasn't considering this at all but tempted.

pretty shitty line up so far compared to last years...

Thumbs up for STP.

they'll announce 2 headliners on monday, along with 5 other bands :smoking:

I assume they'll do the live stream of some of the bands like they did last year? Though AC/DC are probably the only band I'd go out of my way to try and see from the line-up so far. Motorhead and STP maybe.

I remember watching Limp Bizkit and Faith No More (and a small part of Slipknot's set) last year and they were great. :smoking:

i loved faith no mores set.

fortunately/unfortunately got distracted by my girlfriend towards the end of the set though! :hihi:

Aerosmith and Rage Against the Machine announced

5 more bands later tonight

Guessing GN'R will be big contenders for Reading/Leeds then. Bit of a pain in the arse as I'm away on a motorbike rally that weekend.

downloadfest
 
Thirty Seconds to Mars, Stone Sour, Billy Idol, Lamb of God and Five Finger Death Punch ? all added to the Download 2010 line-up! less than a minute ago from web

hard rock calling still an option over Reading/Leeds...
but they've never played at Reading, only Leeds - so who knows
 :peace:

I'm hoping Hard Rock Calling...suspect Reading is already sold out

IMO would be a great move for GNR to show the wider audience what they're all about...

reading tickets aren't on sale yet.

Hello!!
I?ll be at Download Festival in june!!
I?m from Brazil... and this is my 2? trip outside my country, can?t wait!!
=)

Any of you will be there too?

they have a great line up this year (they kinda always do) gotta go sometime

There's no live stream at all this year. Bastards!

No live stream? Cmon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need Hammy to send us updates!

There's a few bands (namely Aerosmith, STP, Motorhead and Slash) I would've liked to have watched on day 3.

i cant imagine seeing that 3rd day lineup

Cinderella, Billy Idol, Slash,Motorhead,STP,Aerosmith?

GTFO with that shit, WOW!

download should come to the US  ;D

They already do that i think, or at least did.

do they? 

yeah i was pretty certain until i did a search.

i could of SWORN i saw a website a few years back with "Download USA" on it.

maybe it was some sort of petition website? anyways im hoping i could make it to a download festival in the near feature. maybe next year for my bday  8)

In 2007 there was a Download Festival in the USA apparently...

Thats a pretty shitty line uo, i gotta say.

Yeah no shit. that lineup sucks

especially when u compare it to the Sunday Night at DL having Slash,Motorhead,Billy Idol and then STP and Aerosmith.

Holy FUCK

Keep in mind, that was the 2007 USA Download Festival lineup -- since then there hasn't been one.

Don't know if anyone else will care about this but I thought it was worth a shot.

Remember back in 2006 there was a video of all the people leaving during GNR's set at Download? Apparently it was proof that most people hated them. Well this year I left early during AC/DC and saw exactly the same thing happening on the way out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OE-nWTi6hYI

I suspect the same happens during every headliner, and at a guess the majority of these people are from the other stages, which all finished earlier. The rest (both years) were probably people like me with AC/DC - curious but not big enough fans to stay for the full set.

(Mods sorry if this is in the wrong place, was recommended I put it here rather than in a thread of it's own.)

Amusing.


I've seen people leave at pretty much every concert/festival.


You think everybody at a concert is a hardcore fan that paid for his/her own ticket?

Obviously some people don't care if they miss the last song(s) as long as they can beat the traffic, make it onto the bus/train or whatever.

People have different priorities and it has very little to do with "hating the band"...




/jarmo

people always leave, i did the exact same thing (first time though) when i saw rammstein this weekend just before they started their encore


i did it because i had seem 'em 2 weeks before and was going to meet a very hot chick, not because the show was bad because it was awesome.. as was the girl ;D

u don't really expect us to believe that right? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:  J/k :P


Festivals are awesome in theory, on paper.. but to be honest, no matter how awesome a lineup, i just don't know if i could stand for 10 hours watching all that. I'd get pretty burnt out and tired.

pic sent ;)

i go to a couple of festivals a year and i never see all the bands i have intended

Bow down to Cheap Jon.. WOW! excellently done! chick is smoking!
