Download Festival 2010

Only really bothered by Deftones and ACDC from that list. Still, my interest is growing

tuffty747 · 25 Jan 2010 at 20:41

Who do you reckon the other 2 headliners will be, I've got no idea, Soundgarden maybe :confused:

After seeing TCV at Hammersmith in December, I was amazed, I was hoping they would be at Reading, but clearly not now, they'll be awesome!

shauncr91 · 25 Jan 2010 at 20:52

I think if need be, I'll even buy a day pass just to see Deftones

Fonz-Valo · 25 Jan 2010 at 20:54

I bought my ticket back in November before

I can't wait! its kinda my yearly holiday lol

Went last year but not feeling it so much with that line up, plus im skint

Only band id like to see there is BFMV, already saw motorhead.

Thinking of going to sonisphere as the lineup for me is a lot better, will wait and see who else gets announced for download though.

You what??? The Deftones are one of the worst bands for translating cd to live I've had the dubious pleasure of seeing. I really like them for things live My Own Summer (Shove It), Be Quiet and Drive stuff from the Back to School time, but they are just utter rubbish live

Gonna see if I can talk my Mrs in letting me go thou as will be cheaper than flying to Poland for Sonisphere and already doing Sonisphere in the UK.

Awesome download.

I went to my first DL festival last year as I was given a free ticket. I was worried it'd be full of rampaging teenagers, a lá Reading Festival (I was one once!), however I was pleasantly surprised that the core demograph appeared to lean more towards mature, music affecinardos. I think I'll go again.

Simply not true. I've seen them three times on their own tour, on their own stage and they're easily one of the best live bands.

Have you only seen them at festivals? Hardly enough to judge by.

dbmzk1 · 26 Jan 2010 at 08:52

Love AC/DC, but already seen them and it's not worth going just for one or two bands. Will have to wait for some more bands to be announced. Looking good so far though.

Pretty poor start only interested in Megadeth and Deftones and maybe Volbeat

I've seen them on there own tours twice and multiple festival shows and they have disappointed each time. They just don't translate well at all.

Soundgarden and Metallica are the most repeated rumours

Perhaps they're getting old then... I saw them touring Around The Fur in Brixton in the 90's and they ruined the place, it was incredible.

Again in 2006 in Bristol they were stunning from start to finish.

Unless that Download lineup is absolutely mind-blowing (and so far it isn't in my eyes) then I won't be going. The camping area just ain't big enough when you compare it to other festivals.

RoachycaL · 26 Jan 2010 at 13:06

Gutted that megadeth are playing download - that means they wont be playing sonisphere

Ive got tickets for that!

When was this? The last 2/3 times they played the UK they were excellent, maybe 4 years before that they were **** live.

Its not the hardest hitting first announcement, maybe cause ac/dc was expected and i saw them 2 times last year. Stone Temple Pilots are the biggest surprise for me and a very pleasant one. But the rest of the so far announcement is abit weak compared to sonispheres first bands. Saying that I would most likely see 7 out of the 9 announced, 4 for the first time. Im sure the lineup will look better in a week or so when more bands get added.
