Yeah which is annoying as i did have intentions of going. But as much as I would like to see quite a few bands, they dont make me want to buy a ticket. All filler, no killer (bar SOAD)

I like the fact that all of my favourite bands will be on on Friday so just a Day Ticket for me then!:)

The line up on Friday would make me spend my money on them and go for a day but otherwise I wouldn't bother

Mushy · 15-03-2011 3:33pm

The Darkness
Funeral For A Friend
Plain white T's
Kvelertak
Hyro Da Hero
Framing Hanley

These added today!

Get Yer Hands Offa My Woman .....Mother.....****......eeerrrrrr

I love how on the Download Forums announcements bit, it says 'Permission to Land at Download'....with the quality of that announcement I would've said 'One Way ticket To Hell'.

baz123 · 15-03-2011 7:11pm

One way ticket to download and back

Mushy · 15-03-2011 7:40pm

Ah yeah The Darkness would be good. But Opeth and Mars Volta for Soni. Plain White T's is a bizarre booking....they barely fir in with the Saturday at Soni let alone Download.

Furious-Red · 15-03-2011 10:52pm

Hopefully we get a small warm up tour from Darkness maybe Academy? then Olympia when album comes out

baz123 · 16-03-2011 9:53pm

Now your talking man

that would be epic

Mushy · 17-03-2011 12:30am

The Darkness in the Academy would be great. Highly unlikely.

I don't know what they're playing at with that one, waste of everyone's time

baz123 · 17-03-2011 2:25pm

So whats the lineup for the Fri? 'Thin Lizzy, Black Stone Cherry, Alter Bridge, The Darkness and Def Leppard' on the main stage and 'Pendelum, Korn, Danzig and Duff McKagans Loaded' also in action ????

Main Stage
Def Leppard
The Darkness
Alter Bridge
Black Stone Cherry
Thin Lizzy
Puddle of Mudd
Duff McKagans Loaded

Other Stage
Pendulum
Korn
Bring Me The Horizon
The Damned Things

Third Stage
Danzig
Times Of Grace
FM
Asking Alexandria

The only thing that bothers me about that is that a former member of GNR would have to go underneath Puddle of Mudd....POM, whether or not they deserve to even be on the Main Stage, should at least open....anything more is forgetting how absent they've been in Europe for the past 8 years

baz123 · 17-03-2011 3:13pm

Cheers man

on this...i will be going

Main Stage is quite epic but would really wanna see Times Of Grace , Damned Things and Pendulum

hope we get the weather

Fi H · 18-03-2011 10:39pm

hA HA for sure I will

sounds like we were doing the same tour last year. i did download, sonis uk, poland & switzerland

Its a pity all the sonis stuff is earlier this year or i would deffo have done another one! going to do electric picnic instead and chill out for a change.

metzengerstein · 04-05-2011 3:40pm

holy s**t

saw the bill for this years download looks great ,the thing that caught my eye most is danzig are on it ,i would kill to see them live .its been a very long time since they where here or in the uk.cant make the download unfortunaly .
would be awesome if they would come over here after download

chin_grin · 04-05-2011 3:44pm

That whole line up is my perfect nightmare to be honest.

The only bands on that whole bill I'd like to see would be Down, Clutch, Danzig and Kvelertak.

o1s1n · 04-05-2011 3:51pm

The Darkness, Puddle of Mudd, Avenged Sevenfold, Linkin Park, Bullet for my Valentine, Disturbed, Bowling For Soup, Bring me The Horizon, Children of Bodom, Funderal For a Friend...holy crap, I can't believe they have so many annoying bands in one place at one time. I would rather eat a bag of nails.

Maybe the power of Rush will blow them all out to sea

They're not rave. They're drum n' bass and "Electronic Rock", and they have a bit of a following from Metal fans apparently, I've seen them twice and there was plenty of Metal fans there, tons of pits dotted about the place. They played Download in 2009 and were well received. Having said that their last album was terrible, poppy chart bollocks, it was made with intention of making money. Although their first album is excellent, second album is different from the first, kind of electronic based power rock, loads of breakdowns, it's grand.

But I don't think they belong there, along with 90% of bands on the lineup as a matter of fact.

RayCon · 04-05-2011 5:48pm

I think it looks pretty sh!te to be honest ... at a push, if I was going, I probably watch the Main Stage on Fri, the 2nd Stage on sat and would go home on the Sunday.
