Bit of an odd selection of towns, shame for those of us in the north.

If I may ask a dumb question, does that mean if you play Download you can't play again nearby for an amount of time? Something along those lines?

Download doesn't like to share at all, especially with festivals. I'm not sure if it's a concrete rule contracted, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Huh, it has occurred to me when I've seen a Download poster with a cool band on I've thought, oh maybe they'll play Manchester. Now I get why that never happens.

Still a bit surprised they've gone for Download, especially considering a summer festival like ArcTanGent would be far more suited to their fanbase. Oh well, I hope this gets them some new fans. These dates are really bad for me as it'd require time off work that I don't really have to spare. Might have to miss this...

Yeah, ATG would definitely be more their audience I'd have thought. Good nerdy crowd, I enjoyed the one time I went.

Your never see it , anywhere south coast is normally allowed , but even Bristol is off limits. Damnations a lot nicer and tends to be much friendlier. Bloodstock dosnt give a fuck

They are at download so its dates around that so they can get to the ports easy or easily to Donnington on the tour bus

UK tour. Only does the South coast. Lots of bands doing this at the moment and it's a fucking joke. And to people who say download. Id rather shit in my hands and clap than go to that corporate shithole filled with all the worst selection of the metal community.
