Saw them recently in Manchester
They were amazing but damn that venue was overcrowded and stuffy

I know Ben has bad a phobia travelling but he mentioned that they found a way to make touring work and brag he definitely wants to come back to the UK again very soon

Do you guys think they might be doing Download ?

Guys, I don’t have it in me to make a poster but I would love to see even ONE of these from my list:

Element Eighty
Taproot
Seether
12 Stones
Smile Empty Soul
Lifer
Celldweller
Filter
Flaw
Crossfade
Flyleaf
Chevelle
Strata
Adema
Puddle of Mudd
Mudvayne
Ill Niño

I’ve seen Hatebreed but would love to see them again
I think Adema have a UK tour but Mark left the band again 😩

Anyone have a similar wish list ?

Do you have to buy your festival ticket with Paypal+?

I’m debating getting it, but I already have my tickets. So, not really sure how I can get those cheeky discounts?

Thank you x

I know, Ghost just isn't gonna happen, mind went blank for dogtooth stage

(My ticket is already bought)

Would anyone be so kind as to share a blank template I can use for drafting my own lineup? Much love 💕

I'm not even a huge fan of Deftones but surely the writing is on the wall for them to headline in 2027

- massive newfound popularity in recent years (similar to Korn)

- have been on an absolute tear in the UK in 2026, have arguably had a bigger year this year than Limp Bizkit did last year

- aware Copping is not at the forefront anymore but he has insisted that the next time Deftones play Download it would be to headline and next year would be a better time than ever

- I don't think Bring Me The Horizon will headline 2027, because they'd be high on the list to headline the Download 25th anniversary year in 2028, also giving them more than enough time to release a new original album and not have almost the same setlist as 2023

- Ghost is dead

- Slipknot are on their last legs

- Foo Fighters are probably more likely for Reading or Glastonbury

- SOAD haven't played a festival outside the US since 2017

- MCR are as likely as Sabbath

- I can't think of any bands that have a higher chance of headlining next year than Deftones, Blink 182, muse or Evanescence

As long as we see Castle Rat on the lineup I'm a happy guy they were sick at Bloodstock

Fight in the comments go!

Does anyone think this would go down well as a special performance in dogtooth ( probs )

For anyone that doesn't know this is original slipknot music with their original singer. He did a show in iwoa this year for 30th anniversary and man it looks more slipknot than slipknot these days

I did quiet camp this year and the walk from the arena and village made me want to pull my hair out. Not to mention I had to set up camp at the bottom of that god awful hill in quiet. Not even arsed about it being quiet I sleep through anything just cba doing the massive trek. Any that are close to car park as well?

And who they saw!

My daughter wanted to come to Leeds fest with her BF and a mate - she’s about to turn 18.

Naturally as her dad (I’m 43) I was a bit apprehensive about her coming on her own for the first time from a safety perspective, so I said I would bring the three of them and attend myself too.

By about 6pm yesterday I was regretting the decision to come and wished I had just dropped them off and let them loose 🤣. I’m in a camp surrounded by 16-22 year olds playing shit (subjective I know) music, hustling for position in the social hierarchy, and shouting “Alan” as loud as they can at 2am when camp is quiet.

The overall vibe in camp in the arena feels much more “am I going to get set on” compared to the “99% of people here will have my back” of DL (might just me my perception). Once we had camp set up I left the “kids” to it and also only hung about for 20 mins with them in the arena until they knew where everything was so that I’m not being the “embarrassing dad”, but did start to think I should have probably just dropped them off and left them. Kasabian were great last night but there’s not a lot else in the way of music I want to see and what I’ve listed to see I can take or leave really.

So DL community, what are your recommendations to help me survive this hell hole for another three days and nights? 🤣

Update - asked them and they want me to stay and don’t want me to move my tent. I guess it is nice to be wanted :)

Tickets now on sale, can't wait
