:wtf: @ Akercocke and DEP playing. At least gives confirmation to the rumour Dillinger will be touring here come June.

Suppose the bill could be worse, although the Main Stage on the Saturday looks absolutely horrible, Monster Magnet and Iggy aside. Oh well... thoughts?

Looks good
Not as good as last year but decent
I'm going to go on Sunday hopefully

Slayer :drool:

To be honest im not really impressed at the moment. It would be great fun to see Bowling For Soup play on the Game On stage though. They seem completly out of place at the moment :D

Why is this called the download festival?

I have no idea.

Clear Channel must think Download is "hip" and "with it" term.

I just find it hilarious that Metallica is on the Donlad Festival.

They were last year too. They were surprise guests.

I'm sure there's a joke to be made about Lars hoping to catch thousands of people using Kazaa but never mind.

Only thing I would touch on that bill at the moment is the Sunday main stage, and even that is a bit much to pay to see 3 bands.

The Main Stage on the first day is shit. The only band on the 5th I would even see is Dillinger.

The 2nd day is a little better, I would watch everything on the Main Stage. No desire to see anyone on the 2nd stage.
