What is your music that you are missing in the lineup? Looks pretty well spread, from up and coming progmetal hiphop like Ando San to old hard rockers Clutch, bubblegum dadrock Blink 182, 80s heavy metal GWAR and Mötley Crüe, 80s grindcore Napalm Death, jamband Primus (sucks), and 90s bigbeaters The Prodigy.

Sure there’s a smattering of new bands and bands from the last decade, but it’s a typical Download spread.

What do you think is missing? Perhaps there’s a better festival out there for you (smaller festivals are the way to go in my opinion - more niche, easier to see all the acts you want, and chiller vibes).

It’s, in a large part, fucking Festival Republic and Live Nation, who are taking over the management of most big festivals. They’re soulless corporate scumbags, and are busy ruining everything good in UK festival culture.

Yeah the lineup for Download looks pretty weak this year. There's a reasonable number of decent bands on for me but I've seen most of them and pretty recently at that. My Sister's are trying to convince me to go with them but my heart just isn't really in of with that lineup.
