      @BuZz said in Download Festival:

      yeah - looking forward to seeing Def Leppard. Also Sunday - Smashing Pumpkins then Tool

      That's a solid (retro) line-up in, did not even know that DEF LEPPARD is still acting! So it's a kind of Nintendo Entertainment System :)

      But furthermore:
      Slayer, Slipknot, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins
      There are lot's of band I personally would just listen on the Avalaunche Stage ;)

      Enjoy the time! Listen to music and relax ;)
      Btw: As I read DOWNLOAD Festival I thought someone posted a link to a ROM site ;)

          @DorkVonWaterfall @cyperghost I genuinely didn't realise how many other Leppard fans there are here!

          My brother will be most impressed.

          Only other gig I've got lined up this year is watching Machine Head in Manchester. Definitely my favourite band, and they're playing a huge set - entire of Burn My Eyes, then a normal mixed set. Proper excited.

            @BuZz hellova lineup! Make sure you check out Me First and the Gimme Gimmes if you can. They’re quite a bad ass cover song troop.

              So far in this thread only the big bands have been mentioned, but there are some pretty great other bands listed:

              • Clutch
              • Royal Republic
              • Skindred
              • Rob Zombie
              • Halestorm
              • Icon for Hire
              • Sumo Cyco
              • Enter: Shikari
              • The Amity Affliction
              • Twelve Foot Ninja

              Of those I've mentioned, I most recommend Twelve Foot Ninja and Royal Republic. Even if you don't see them at the show, you should check them all out on Spotify (or YouTube or whatever).

                  +1 for Clutch. They’re from my neck of the woods and really great live. Their self-titled record from way back when is the quintessential chill out album.

                        @Parabolaralus that Aftershock played at Gibson Ranch like, 7-8 miles from my house a few years ago. I went outside on my patio and could hear it. It was pretty bitchin.
