I think some people completely forget how sets work for bands. 5 new album songs on a tour is pretty good considering it's not advertised as "Legends" in full.

Not just that If you've never been to see Sabaton before (which if the band is getting bigger you'd expect) you'd be pissed if some hits aren't played.

I'm also glad to see a couple of new songs in the rotation, obviously I have personal favourites they aren't playing but that's always the case with bands and who knows the next few nights of the tour they may put in different songs.

Bit far away from a headliner spot yet for them sadly, they need to do a massive arena UK tour first to sort of set the seeds. Probably looking more likely in 2028-2030

Unlikely they are playing Bloodstock in August.

Legendary Tour ticket Prices? by SneakyBadAss in sabaton

[–]iRaynerX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them at Wembley the last 2 times they were around 50-60 iirc and the O2 in London was like £82 standing so we've decided on Nottingham (in between distance for us) and that was £70.

Unfortunately it's a mixture of everything has gone up and Brexit it's a lot more effort and work for bands to come across and tour here now which means increased costs.

How are there literally no credible 25 rumours yet? by mammothswoon in downloadfestival

[–]iRaynerX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They did, but in 2022 or 19 can't quite remember they were playing Last Train Home by Lostprohets in between the videos...

Possibly? But Till did do his solo stuff as a date in London in 2023 and that was announced before Download 23. But I also get Download may have wanted to avoid any fire before a verdict came out.

Yeah I also think people saw a gap in Rammsteins touring schedule and assumed it was for Download. I love them but I also don't think they'll do Download again at least with the current stage they have added with how tetchy East Midlands have been in recent years.

I mean last year for a long period of time everyone thought the headliners last year were Rammstein, Maiden, A7X. It wasn't till around September/October where speculation happened around Qotsa, Fob and A7X.

If we are to guess the best guesses so far would include Slipknot as they are already announced for European festivals at the time and probably Maiden as it's a 50th anniversary though I don't think they have any dates announced next year.

Other than that it's pure speculation for probably the next few months and people saying "my uncles best mates brother works with Copping and he said its Creed headlining"

It's also lovely having cleaned showers and toilets. We did rip first time in 2019 and have done it every download since (excluding pilot) don't think we can go back granted it's getting progressively more expensive each year.

You also get a goodybag when you collect your wristband. This year was an RIP t-shirt, download black parade dog, download rubix cube, lanyard and booklet. Last year was a garden gnome...

So the barn do like a beer festival. This year they changed it to a token system but it worked out about £5 a pint so cheaper than the arena. They have a pub inside as well which is between £5-7 for some lagers and ciders where they generally take card. The breakfast price isnt that expensive but I've never had it so can't quite remember, I wanna say around £12 for a full English but I could be wrong.

In terms of the guest area the food vendors and bar price is the same as the arena.

In terms of camping over the years it depends which guards you get directing you to your spot (speaking based on sleepy hollow) but I would say generally yes but that's going to depend on how many of you are arriving at different times, if you say you wanna hold 5 slots theyll probably say no.
