Download Festival 05

[Johnny Drama]

Marilyn Manson has apparently been confirmed to be headlining this years Download Festival, it will take place Sunday June 12th and Monday June 13th apparently. No other acts that I know have been confirmed although I have heard of Iron Maiden playing again like they did in 03! It has also been rumoured that there will be no scotland download like last year.

[Johnny Drama]

System Of A Down have on their website confirmed they are playing Download on the 12th of June!

SOAD seems possible, as they dont have gig on that day in their European Tour, and they're playing Munich on the 11th, last time they played there was Ozzfest 2002 wasnt it? Ace gig, Daron nearly got killed too thanks to high winds and lighting falling down.

[Johnny Drama]

i think they played reading 2003, they have confirmed on site for download and they tend to play reading/leeds every other year so they could play reading/leeds too this year.

[Tall Boi Byrne]

I heard rumours of Megadeth.

[Summers]

12th and 13th? Gay dates, IMO. I'll go though. Although, the 12th is my birthday, so it isn't all that gay.

[Johnny Drama]

yeah when i went in 03 it was saturday and sunday which is alot better in my opinion. I am just going Leeds this year I think as I got exams in June and I am going to Milton Keynes to see Greenday, does anyone know who is supporting that show?

[Maxx]

New Found Glory or Simple Plan

[Johnny Drama]

i heard that was for the febuary tour apparently there is going to be 3-4 supports at milton keynes in June becuase it kicks off at 4pm

[PkmnTrainerJ]

Cool. Definetly gotta go now. Probably see some of you there.

[tristy]

Green Day is going to be touring with My Chemical Romance, maybe that's who is supporting them Ravey.

[Johnny Drama]

i like my chemical romance so might go i might go to MCR's one off date at Astoria next month.

[Cactus Drags]

Ugh, what a horrible notion. Indy bands....at Donnington? Blasphemy.

So, two metal based fesitvals combine, and we get an indie day out of it?

Gee.

[Tall Boi Byrne]

Its what they call selling out.

They can probably charge more for tickets, and are guaranteed getting people to buy them, as they'll be appealing to a bigger audience of people.

Its kinda the same as Reading booking 50 Cent, it made no sense, but was done so it'd get them more money.

[Summers]

Well, if Indie is the first day, and you buy a 2 day ticket for the other days, all the good camping spots are gone. And if you go, you have to pay more, to hear indie.. ugh.

[fourstarfizzle]

yeh well i ain't bothering, i'm 21 on the 12th of June so i'll be having a huge birthday bash and i'm going Leeds as it'll be funny to see Motley Crue headlining.

[Robsturgh]

Fuck this, i was revved up about this years download fest. But if this is what we're getting....then fuck off....

[Cactus Drags]

BOTTLE THE INDY CUNTS!!!!

[Skummy]

So....wait, hang on here...

You're complaining that instead of two days of one genre, you get three days spanning different genres? And the bad part of this is where? No one's forcing you to watch all of the bands on the first day and, who knows, maybe you'll *gasp* like some of the bands playing?

At least wait until the line-up's been announced before you start complaining to anyone who'll listen.

[Tall Boi Byrne]

You see, I'm not bothered about whether there was an indy day or not, as I'm going to Reading, where its all different kinda genre's.

But, I gotta say, it does kinda sound an awful lot like selling out, and trying to make more money.
