The First Download Announcement

It was quite exciting to finally get an announcement for next years Download Festival, especially when I saw that my wonderful Blind Channel boys will be there! That was definitely the decider for me, I was hoping to go as I heard Slipknot were going to be there but wanted to see what other bands would be there first so that it was worth the money and there they were, Blind Channel. Honestly, I made a weird girly noise when I saw them on the poster lol.

The other bands I am really looking forward to seeing are Disturbed, Pendulum, Seether, Evanescence and Within Temptation. I've seen a lot of people complaining about Metallica headlining twice even though it will be 2 completely different sets. I do agree that the organisers could have got another band to headline, I personally would of loved to see AC:DC, Motley Crue or Alice Cooper headlining one of the days but I guess the headliners are set in stone now. I'm still holding out hope for a few of my favourite bands to be announced like Lost Society, Lost Zone, Black Stone Cherry, Alter Bridge, Massive Wagons, Ice Nine Kills, Bowling for Soup and Eva Under Fire. I will have my fingers tightly crossed for those.
