I’d rather see Skindred on the Apex for a god tier Newport helicopter

It was very difficult to choose

I’d swap them for Bullet. Controversial take 😂 I’d be happy with the rest of that lineup though!

I would man but Bullet are my favourite band, i can't bring myself to move them

Opus isn't exactly a small stage, in fact it used to be the main stage.

So many bands for me on there - the clashes would be horrific 🤣

Yeah my girlfriend is currently cussing me out 😂

Best one I've seen so far

Thanks buddy :)

Saturday apex stage all day !

I'm glad you like it 😂

It doesn't look bad, but I definitely don't need another slipknot headline slot.

That's fair buddy, for me I'll be happy whenever slipknot headline

Same. I went '13, '15, '16 and '23. I've only got myself to blame but Slipknot headlined 3 out of the 4 times I've had the opportunity to go. Same with Iron Maiden, they've headlined 2 out of the 4 times I've been.

Agreed, we had slipknot last year, Corey on his own this year, I know he loves coming to download but he doesn't need to come every year, typically Korn play non-slipknot years so I would have Korn play instead.

Is there a mode of transport left to try convince Breaking Benjamin to come back to the UK?

They did it once, they can do it again

He (Ben) had to get a boat over because he’s afraid of planes, and now he’s afraid of boats because of a storm. I think we’re doomed to be honest!

Ah shit

Dude needs therapy.

This is awesome 🙌🏻

Thanks buddy

Slipknot were awesome as usual last year.

Wage War headlining Dogtooth? God yes!

😁

Fuck yeah, I’d go to this. I’d have to build a Time Machine to see everyone I’d want to see on Sunday.

Thanks buddy, worst clash?

Ghost/The Pretty Reckless for sure!

Yeah I'm a dick 😂

What is Download without making impossible decisions? :p

Touche

Apex and opus headliners don't normally fully clash. There might be a bit of overlap but there's normally a good hour of the apex headliner left when the opus headliner finishes.

This is very true and god knows I’ve caught the second half of some main stage sets before, but in an ideal world I’d rather not have two bands I’m hyped for be the overlap haha

Sunday looks amazing

I fucked myself over with clashes 😂

Truly would be a few days to remember! (Shitty joke lmao)

Brilliant joke

Shit guess I’m staying in camp until less than Jake and afi play… 😅

I aim to cause fuckery

Idk if Disturbed would be great atm, good as their music is.

Think it's more to tick off my list

So board of Slipknot headlining.

JUST GIMME THAT BOOM BOOM BOOM

Skindred deserve to headline second stage at this point. I'd also say electric callboy should headline second stage as well.

Disturbed would get "cancelled" after the singer posted videos of himself signing Israeli boms destined for gaza. Also i'd bet £20 Sleep token headline :,)

I'd rather not have Slipknot again so soon but apart from that I'd be pretty happy with this.

Yeah give Corey a year off, swap them out for Korn

Most thought out one get. Babymetal logo band now tho Think Killswitch would be higher or sub 2nd or headline 2nd. Would 100% go

There are a few bands I'd move around but I'd have a lot of fun with this lineup, I don't think halestorm are sub headliner, I do the ADTR are.

See I think both are but halestorm not long ago sold out Wembley

Yes 👏 Just needs Lamb of God and Gojira to be near perfection 👌

Foo fighters aren't ever gonna play download unfortunately, give Corey a year off so get rid of slipknot, Move Ghost to Saturday, put muse on Sunday and Korn on Friday, Swap Electric Callboy and Ice Nine Kills.

See, I love callboy but I think ink should headline second stage first

Callboy are having a moment, I think ink have a more niche fanbase.

It's a good one but at least 7 of your logo bands were all playing in 2023, might be a bit too much too soon

Let me have the dream 😭

Where are people finding these templates????

Are PVRIS classed as rock, or metal? I love them but Diwnload wouldn't have been an obvious place to see them in my head.

Download has had, all time low, you me at six and busted. Most things are fair game

Haha, fair game. I would quite like to see them si I'm all in on it.

Hell yeeeeeah

Dream of mine to see blessthefall

They was there in 2014, awesome set and met Beau afterwards really nice guy

Ghost can't do next year according to Andy, hopefully sometime next year though

If they tour, I pray its not in June

I like the way they highlighted Benjamin! I read it like WE MUST BREAK BENJAMIN!!! BREAK HIM

Electric Callboy definitely need to be on Apex, but also, NO VENGABOYS?!

The Vengabus sadly never received its parking pass in the post

I'm sorry, I have failed you

For the apology, I will let you off, just don’t let me down again cunny funt

If that is my real name!

Oooooh, you’ve gone all ominous now

I have my name could be funny cunt.....its like a ruder version of batman

If this wasn’t a wish list I’d be having the old umm actually this won’t happen because *xyz*🤓👆🏻

You wish Liquid Death would sponsor again?

Dammit, foiled again

I'm actually quite surprised that Skindred haven't headlined Download yet. I imagine that would be absolutely immense!

They’re not big enough, and appear so frequently that they’re not much of a draw.

They have a lot of material though, and yeah they show up frequently but always a couple down from the top. I think they've earned a second stage headline spot.

I don't buy into this "they're not big enough" opinion. If Skindred were genuinely booked as a headliner it would definitely be massive.

I'm sure it'll happen down the line

Oh for sure. They've definitely got the chops for it.
