Woodsinho Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Is anyone else planning to go down south for Download this year? Can't say that I'm enthused by much of the list as it stands but that's ok - half the fun of festivals, for me at least, is in the discovery phase.Alice Cooper All That Remains Alter Bridge Asking Alexandria Avenged Sevenfold Black Stone Cherry Black Veil Brides Bowling for Soup Bring Me The Horizon Buckcherry Bullet For My Valentine Cheap Trick Clutch Danzig Def Leppard Disturbed Down Duff McKagans Loaded Escape The Fate FM Frank Turner Ghost GWAR Hollywood Undead Korn Linkin Park Madina Lake Masters Of Reality Mr Big Pendulum Rise To Remain Rob Zombie Sacred Mother Tongue Straight Line Stitch System of a Down The Cult The Damned Things The Devil Wears Prada The Gaslight Anthem The Jameson Raid Thin Lizzy Trash Talk Twisted Sister Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keeno Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Download is more about the experience anyway (although half decent music is always a bonus). Usually is decent stuff on the smaller stages and they are always the last to be announced.i can't go to Download due to VIVA at uni being the morning after, and the Sonisphere lineup is 10000000x better so I might go to that this year. I can't wait to go camping again and cooking on a hexi stove is great fun (aside from the colourless flame and the 'is it working yet?' moments) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiamDD Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Compared to Sonisphere, this line up is so pathetic. I mean, Def Leppard only headlined two years ago and dont even appeal to the same kind of crowd the other bands in the bill appeal to, so it just stinks of sheer desperation to me.Linkin Park too. Donington must be sick of them by now. So, so poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 More bands announced this morning in the form of VersaEmerge, The Pretty Reckless, Times of Grace, Evile, Suicide Silence, Your Demise and the mighty PUDDLE OF MUDD!!!11!!!!!1!!!Times of Grace and Evile are the highlights of that bunch for me.Def Leppard'll be a bit of fun and seeing them will be one extra step of my continuing transition into becoming like my dad.

Moose Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 I'll be going, purely to see Puddle of Mudd play "She Fucking Hates Me." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsinho Posted March 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Out of interest how are you getting there/who are you going with?I'm going with some mates from down south. So it'll be train to Newcastle followed by packed car to Donnington.Singing along to She Hates Me was one of the highlights of Leeds Festival 2002. I was 18 at the time so I'm going to allow it.

Hog Posted March 2, 2011 Report Share Posted March 2, 2011 Puddle of Mudd, Twisted Sister... You're fucking kidding?Download is one big joke these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fast Caz Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 These days? Looked through the line up and I hardly recognise any of the bands on the bill. Not my cup of tea but there will no doubt be some kerrang follower who is creaming in his little sisters jeans.Then again I like music. When a festival is spoken of as a big piss up rather than the music then you can count me out. Bloodshed festival in Tilburg for me!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skubbs Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Down, Danzig and The Cult make me a happy bunny. It's not the best lineup but it usually gets better nearer the time, with last minute bands announced. Still looking forward to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Clutch!There should be a Clutch Stage, where Clutch play all weekend long. I still wouldn't go, but knowing it was happening, I'd respect that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
