Download Festival 2009

[Melton Fox]

Looks set to be the best ever this year, for me anyway.

So far, bands of interest:

Motley Crue
ZZ Top
Marilyn Manson
Def Leppard
The Prodigy
Whitesnake
Killswitch Engage
Slipknot
Trivium

Already seen the ones in bold before, and all were excellent.

Yes I am going Melton, but only for the day, to see Limp Bizkit :icon_bigg :icon_bigg :icon_bigg

Along with money, time constraints and Papa Roach, they'll be a very good reason to stay away

Slipknot and Trivium are also excellent live, as are Dragonforce. So much better than last year and still loads of bands to be announced.

I'd be really tempted to get a day ticket to go and see def leppard and whitesnake again but apparently they might not be doing day tickets this year...?

 

[MHS]

I had heard the same rumour. I'm only bothered about Limp Bizkit, but I've been waiting years for the opportunity to see them, so might as well get the weekend ticket to guarantee being able to see them.

Were you that impressed last time? Def were ok Whitesnake were Cack.

Way off the mark H I just cant see him singing "Brown Girl in the ring" somehow. :icon_wink

 

[enderby fox]

Even i may make an appearance for this one. Some quality bands are on this year. I agree best year for a while.

They were but Whitesnake are still one of my favourite bands so I'd probably still go and see them again. I'd be keen to go this if the 'decent bands' are playing on the same day and I can get a day ticket for it...

 

[Melton Fox]

As with most years.

If they don't sell enough weekend tickets, they'll release the day tickets closer to the gig date.

For me, spending over a £100 on a weekend ticket is no longer practical, nor affordable. If they charged just a tad more for a day ticket than the average price breakdown for a weekend ticket, I'd go.

Bad marketing IMO.

What they seem to do now is split the genres up across the whole weekend so people have to buy a ticket for the whole show. I hate this system.

 

[MHS]

How much are weekend tickets? £150?

 

[Melton Fox]

Faith No More added to the Headline slot Saw them in '92 at Wembley and they were superb.

Also added:

Billy Talent
Dream Theatre

 

[MHS]

Surprising choice of headliner to stay the least.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

I wouldn't mind seeing faith no more and dream theater as well. Does anybody know when they release the information on what bands are going to be playing on which days? Or will they not? I don't want to go to the whole weekend but there are a few bands there I'd want to see if most of them wind up playing on the same day...

 

[MHS]
