G'wan the Priest!

LETS GET NAKED

Booking Slipknot as the Friday night headliner and bsc as the second stage headliner that night only 2 years after 2013 is some cheeky move. Cheeky in a boring way.

Yea was thinking BSC had headlined the 2nd stage already.

I'd imagine Black Stone Cherry will be headlining the main stage in 2016 or 2017,

As regards BSC Should've been put on main really to ensure upward trajectory after their arena tour seems odd they are now occupying same spot they did 2013. Playing the fest 5 out of last 7 years is overkill and now they playing at it again next year mightn't be such a good thing for being touted as potential headliners.

LETS GET NAKED

Judging from the Poster gene Simmons tweeted as well looks like enter shikari are probably headlining second stage on Sunday, they headlined second stage in 2013 as well.

At least slipknot'll have new masks?

Muse headlining and faith no more subbing in the morning I'm gonna guess.

Wrongway1985

No drip feeding from Hellfest so gives idea of whats about.

Shocked not to see Kiss/Motley Crue combo tbh and the feckin' Scorpions how they still continue to headline big fests in mainland Europe is baffling IMO......

Hellfest line up is completely underwhelming for me personally. There is some good bands on it but a lot I've seen before and out of those there's only a handful I'd be interested in seeing again - the rest I can take or leave. Only about 10 bands I've not seen that I'd like to and even then I'm not dying about them. Just my opinion though!

I agree with your opinion in fairness they were always gonna find it tough top the line up they put together the summer gone.

Some great bands no doubt but none that would have me rushing off to France, seen practically all their top Logo-ed bands at some stage or another myself. Wonder when Graspop announce.

LETS GET NAKED

Just about every band on the second and third lines of that poster has a good chance of being at download.

Underwhelming for me too though.

Reiketsu

Saturday main stage
Muse
Faith No More
A Day to Remember

Second stage headliner
Marilyn Manson

Wrongway1985

Can't fault the top 2 there to be fair

Reiketsu

Gene Simmons posted and deleted that "fake" poster again btw :P

Mushy

What an evening that would be!

LETS GET NAKED

Nothing interesting from this morning's announcement for me. Kinda wanna see Manson but hasn't he been consistently bad or okay at best for the last ten years now? Hmm I wanna go to the festival cause I love it, but already knowing what's coming tomorrow there isn't really much for me so far. Was gonna buy tickets on Thursday morning cause I usually stick to the second and third stages anyway but think I'm gonna wait another month or whatever and see who's added just be sure cause it's a lot of money.

Reiketsu

I feel in the complete minority as I'm loving these announcements :O. If tomorrow is right that'll sell me a ticket.

I'm in the same boat!

I'm a little meh over Muse; last time I seen them, I think I was just watching an over priced light show.

Everyone giving out it's the same/boring headliners, but I assume they'll have new shows than last time they played.

Really liking idea of seeing Judas Priest and Marilyn Manson!

LETS GET NAKED

This poster was leaked recently. It looks pretty legit and has been almost completely right, I wonder what happened and why Black Stone Cherry are headlining second stage again on the Friday and if Korn were supposed to play and now aren't or something.

Reiketsu

^ Link is broken but I know the one you're talking about. Seems pretty plausible to me

LETS GET NAKED

Uploaded it myself hopefully it works now!

Yeah if that is actually the line up I think I'm gonna give it a miss. Would be my 4th Download and really wanted to go this year but the trip is expensive and tickets are what £205. About 3 bands I'm excited to see and maybe 4/5 more I'd get up watch but that's about it.

Will talk to the lads and if they're still bent on going I'll probably end up tagging along but I'd say I'll probably leave it this time. Hope Sonisphere is going ahead I guess

Furious-Red

I thought Refused were not touring anymore after the last one? Royal Blood would be higher then EODM

LETS GET NAKED

There's been a bit of activity (controversy) on the Refused facebook page lately, so maybe they're not quite done or whatever. Yeah Royal Blood probably should be higher or whatever, but they probably booked them ages and ages ago. Maybe they will be higher by the time this poster gets published properly. Was probably done up a while ago if Black Stone Cherry aren't even on it, looks like a draft, very rough around the edges some of it, don't think this was ever supposed to be posted or whatever, but it's way too accurate to have been made by a fan.

Mushy

They give FFDP a big push already and not Mastodon? Lineup does seem very plausible though.

Reiketsu

If Dimmu Borgir are announced and actually clash with Kiss or Crue I'll be annoyed. I'd like to see Body Count on the line up though, not gonna lie :P

Mastodon up to fourth from fifth last time they played, so small bump.

Furious-Red

Also would have thought Architects would be a bit higher

Yeah but that day was so strong though Alice In Chains were on after them went on to sub Soni summer gone,then Motorhead then QOTSA who went on to co-head R&L also summer gone. FFDP were 6th down last time, played a blinder mind.

Graspop announcing on Thursday see what they throw out will be a mix of bands from DL and Hellfest I'm assuming. Guessing Slipknot nailed on clearly as one.

Reiketsu

Sunday main stage
Kiss
Motley Crue
Slash w/ Myles Kennedy

Second stage headliner
Enter Shikari

Lithium93_

Just had a look at the poster on the Official Download Facebook, and the only bands of interest to me on that poster would be Slipknot, Judas Priest, Black Stone Cherry, Faith No More, Slash ft. Myles Kennedy & The Conspirators and Motley Crue.

Reiketsu

^ Seven out of twelve ain't bad :pac:

I'm sort of hoping for a Kiss/Crue date either here on in England because no one I know is interested. I don't mind a gig on my own but not a festival
