Am I the only person that thinks that £175 for a weekend camping ticket, to see those bands, is just a wee bit of a rip off? Yeah, theres a couple of bands up there that would be interesting to see, but £175? Lordy me.

Well, they know their target audience and are catering to it. There are only a few bands there who I'd actually like to see, but the rest of them are what the 14-20 year-old demographic are listening to right now or over the past year.
My younger sister would probably totally love this line-up.

download fest is looking equally weak... with some awesome slots, and some awesomely bad ones.

as much as i love motley crue, def leopard etc... keep them in the 80s. when i go to donnington, i go to get drunk and start moshpits. not sing at the top of my voice.

I wouldnt mind seeing about 7 of those bands, I mean they arent my favorites but I would kinda like to see them live

Even for recent 'popular' bands, that lineup is pretty meh.

Microneezia · Mar 2009

agree about the price, but deftones rule, and yeah yeah yeahs back together would be a great performance I bet- unless LA made her really calm and boring....

radiohead charges that on their own I bet...
