Talk:Download Festival

Each announcement

Is it necessary to mention the date that each act gets announced. I think that the date each headliner was announced is sufficient. Most people will just look at the line-up tables anyway, plus reading "_____ were announced on the 12th, followed by ______ on the 19th. Then, a week later ____ self confirmed. This was confirmed by Download the following day." Etc. It just seems pointless. Markh94hours (talk) 13:31, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

I agree it gets very samey. I'd say remove all but the confirmation of the headliners. Del_♉sion23 (talk) 19:04, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

We can't just name random bands and expect it to mesh with the legends! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.81.33.59 (talk) 04:33, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
