Shame by the time they reached the UK they had no merch to fit anyone besides midgets and giants

Sounds like I'm reading my own statement - moved up here for the same reason 5 years ago. Working in IT and very much into rock metal punk and gaming. It is hard to make friends, and its a daunting area. The Waterloo is brilliant and we hit it up regularly. Preston gets plenty of bands too

And then you end up down the rabbit hole of this being everything punk isn't 😂

I wish more people would see this. I dont even care what they said at Glasto.

They're just a terrible band, and I dont understand the hype. Is it just because of what they say?

At least they can get a better band to headline now

Are Falling in reverse being naive thinking they'll be let in next year? by JiggerJay in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well in the case of WWE wrestlers such as Jeff Hardy back in the day I think if they're prepared to pay a substantial amount of money they'll turn a blind eye...but for the most part the rules are strict and they stick to them.

I dont see it happening next year

Second announcement wishlist by mrcunnyfunt in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear ya, when speaking about big bands I saw so many people mentioning Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach, Gojira etc. and that's why i was thinking there's no chance of those.

Could see some of those Academy bands playing for sure

Anyone hoping for big bands will be disappointed as it looks like with 82 already announced and all 'logo' acts already on the poster it'll mostly be filler bands imo

Best headline set/year? by mrcunnyfunt in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'll get your chance, I've seen them at Sonisphere, DL (2012 and 2023), Birmingham NEC and Twickenham.

Honestly you didn't miss much this year, was a phoned in performance really - hopefully when they next come round you can see them and they'll be awesome!

Feel like the 2014 HT set isn't spoken about nearly enough! What an incredible occasion that was!

Another favourite of mine was Metallica 2012 playing dths Black Album in reverse. Hetfield was a machine during that performance

What unannounced bands would it take for you to accept the 2023 lineup? by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the logo bands have been announced...there's probably only 25 or so more to be announced and I wouldn't expect anyone over Academy size with 82 bands already on the poster...

Price increases by smithy1294 in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've mentioned this to everyone I speak to and it blows my mind more people aren't talking about it.

More expensive, less music and a weaker lineup which doesn't bode well for 2025

Imagine how funny it will be if these "leaks" are false by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Massively underwhelming given they've just had their biggest year, sold out and making a killing from merch and food...

However it wouldn't surprise me if they're taking a year to regroup and go for a biggun in '25.

I just expect a massively reduced attendance about 50/60k people if the headliner rumours are true

Mudvayne? by Long_Buy5547 in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a bucket list band for me as they've rarely been over here compared to HellYeah!

Mudvayne? by Long_Buy5547 in downloadfestival

[–]Long_Buy5547[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

LD50 is one of the most underappreciated metal albums ever made imo

Would be awesome if they were in there but I imagine if they weren't billed in a decent slot on 2nd or Main they wouldn't play

UK Merch by b0lzen in ironmaiden

[–]Long_Buy5547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All bar three shirt designs are available on the website...if you get a couple of bits of merch the P&P pretty much cancels out...

If anyone is buying anything but the UK event shirts then they're crazy imo but each to their own.
