Iron Maiden confirmed on the "Download TV Festival" - June 12-14

[Brigantium]

It's Download, and it's Friday night Download in particular. A major reason I don't want to go to this festival is the lack of interest in at least 60% of the bands.

I've ruined it, the whole broadcast will be cancelled now

Rod is looking for a VLC blocker right now

The Saturday line-up was particularly good this year. Shame it couldn't go ahead. Normally the line-up doesn't suit my tastes either.

Saturday was okay. Saturday was quite decent at the mud hell year too, which you would have found out if you hadn't been queuing in traffic until about 3pm.

I missed Halestorm because of that! Also Amon Amarth and Delain but we might have arrived too late for them anyway. I saw both bands at their own shows later in the year anyway with good support, so whatever.

 

[Brigantium]

I saw all three, which was a big plus. I have a photograph of me and Paul eating an ice creams while watching AA in the rain

I think Airborne is the next band

Just like the Swiss flag.

This thread will be chaos tomorrow evening with people giving a live commentary on the Iron Maiden section. It will be really annoying.

 

[Brigantium]

If there's one more interview with some music industry non-entity, I'm going to join the Youtube chat crowd in shouting BOOMER every few seconds.

 

[The_7th_one]

Airborne because AC/DC are too expensive said one guy from the chat

 

[Black Wizard]

Why are there so many interviews? Surely nobody wants this. Will Download 2021 have people interviewed on stage?

 

[Brigantium]

They're padding out the content because they appear to have very little exclusive footage or band performances

 

[Trevoire]

Am I the only one that wishes we had an Iron Maiden equivalent of Airborne? (who are basically an ACDC tribute that don't play any ACDC songs)

I could really go for a band that sound 99% like Maiden to pad out the gap between albums

 

[Brigantium]

Attick Demons?

They must have tons though, I recognise your one from Sky Arts so I presume the previous Sky Arts programmes where made in house by Download so they must have all that footage, it's usually like 6 hours worth of footage each year

 

[Brigantium]

You'd think so, wouldn't you? Maybe they don't want to just show old live performances and want to mix things up with new material. The interviews aren't great evening show stuff, though. Glad a few bands have done performances from home, though, that's putting a bit of effort into it.

 

[The_7th_one]

Gojira are the next ones

 

[Black Wizard]

Gojira are the next ones

They're tomorrow aren't they?

EDIT: You're right. My apologies.

 

[Trevoire]

Attick Demons?

Aye probably about as close as you get to a band that sounds like Maiden.

 

[The_7th_one]

No problem!
The admin of the chat said Gojira would be tomorrow… and suddenly says Gojira are the next
