When is this festival?

 

Good quiestion.

8th, 9th and 10th June

 

Just checking. Everytime I see Killswitch playing something right now, I have to wonder what date it's going to be. Seems like you're going to get the real KSE with Adam D.

 

Wahay! Here's hoping he doesn't die between now and download festival.

How the hell do you even pronounce his name?

 

He won't, even though he's had back surgery twice now, I dunno what the timetable is.

And I just say Adam D. it's easier for the mind.

 

Easier on the eyes and all.

 

Four decent bands so far, the rest I wouldn't touch with a bargepole.

 

LP and Wolfmother fucking own. Marilyn Manson is pretty cool too. I hope everyone has a great time.

Be sure to bootleg it

 

I'm looking most forward to Marilyn Manson.

 

Bowling For Soup are playing it xD

 

Hopefully the guitarist won't moon again.

 

I'm not gonna add them until I see it confirmed on the website.

 

EDIT: Wait. Nevermind

Anyway. I won't be going. SYL aren't there this year and download isn't what it used to be anymore. I'll look at going next year or the year after maybe

 

I wish I could see Marilyn Manson in concert. Ugggggggh.

 

With the new album coming out like next month, I bet it's going to be amazing. I hope he went and saw a vocal coach again, too, because it really showed in Mechanical Animals and Holy Wood.

 

What was it before then?

 

This concert is living proof that time flies by.

It seems like 2 weeks ago I was reading last years line up.

 

Since both bands confirmed it, I'm adding BFS and Devildriver.

According to sources at Download these bands have self confirmed they'll be playing download:

- Billy Talent
- Stone Sour
- As I Lay Dying
- Lamb Of God

These bands just confirmed:

- KoRn
- Velvet Revolver
- Dimmu Borgir
- Dragonforce
- Velvet Revolver

 

Been a while since I've looked back here.

I've gotta say that I'm starting to wish that I could go to Download. The line up's starting to look pretty decent.
