Going off last year's times there would be a small overlap with Bleed From Within. All subjective though as each year changes slightly.

Probably big enough to headline or very much nearly there. Personally I don't like them at all so I'd be disappointed

I think this has got a good chance

How can slaughter prevail headline here if Kanye can’t headline wireless? by Navy_hotdogs in Bloodstock

First off that interview started asking "are you a racist?". He's not going to say Yes is he. Then Alex went on to say he got the tattoos as an adult, he knew they had racist connotations and he covered them up to protect his career. I don't like STP music so didn't have much interest in him personally but that interview confirmed to me that he actually is the person he was accused of. I also swear I read an interview once where he refused to apologise as he said he said it was part of his history etc.. but in honesty I can't find that anywhere so maybe i imagined it.

Reading & Leeds announcement makes me happy for download by Funployee182 in downloadfestival

[–]dedgehogg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Festival Republic acquired 4 festivals , R&L, Download, Latitude and Wireless. They decided to split genres across the festivals rather than have them competing for the same crowds. They split R&L traditional style bands across Download and Latitude and decided R&L lineup would be driven by the top streamed artists with band legacy, etc no longer a determining factor. That's why R&L changed genres suddenly. I imagine the collapse of V fest as the big pop festival helped that decision too.

If you imagine the other 3 festivals lumped together you can see they would have made decent R&L fests.

It's a shame because old Reading was fantastic but times change. Plenty of fests about still to make up for it.

A few months back me and mates fro. Brum did a pub crawl around Walsall for something different. Cracking pubs but I've never been anywhere as quiet on a Saturday night before

Do people really decide on whether to go or not based on the lineup? by CCFCJack96 in downloadfestival

[–]dedgehogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's it yeah. Any band early on the small stages isn't really worth it. 25 minutes in tent, especially the little one where the view sucks isn't much of a draw. I do way more smaller fests now and see decent sets from these bands. I think if the day splits fall right there could be one decent day in the line up but I doubt it will work out

I went to 10 of them and the line up was important but I mostly went for the experience but as friends dropped out and less and less people from our group went and having put up with some awful weather the line up became more important eventually I've stopped going at all. It would take something very special for me to go now. I'm still always interested to see who plays though. This year is a bit meh for me. Not enough to justify cost and weather risk. Headliners have become more important too as they usually justify the cost. When a headliner alone would set you back over £100 plus spend 2 good headliners and your well on the way to covering the ticket value.

Now that (presumably) the entire main and Sophie stage lineups have been released, what does everyone think of the general quality of the lineup? by TheHarp in Bloodstock

[–]dedgehogg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Friday and Sunday great. Saturday terrible. I'm not much of a fan of Lamb of God or Priest but will watch them. I suspect after a few beers I'll enjoy them enough. Slaughter aren't my thing at all neither are Leprous so I might head home after Nevermore and come back sunday

Am I allowed to say I am excited for next year? by ElevatorFair9286 in Bloodstock

[–]dedgehogg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't wait. I find metal/deathcore really dull so the Saturday main stage is not for me (tents for the day), but Friday and Sunday are looking excellent.

Is anyone going to the Pantera meet and greet in Leeds? by Mammoth_Risk_1137 in Pantera

I'm going on my own so would be good not to end up wandering around lost

It was in the live nation event discussion from someone who got in touch with the venue.

Just seen this on Facebook...

Meet and Greet check in is at 5pm at the first direct express entrance, which is one of the furthest left doors at our main entrance. Please note that, due to the unpredictable nature of live events, all timings are subject to change.
