Download fans ‘work out’ HUGE dance act will appear at festival after newly announced gig date

FANS of the Download Festival think they have figured out a major dance music act could be set to appear at the festival.

Potential concertgoers have begun having their say on who could be heading to the annual music festival.

It has led them to believe a major dance act could have signed up after spotting clues amongst their current UK touring schedule.

Pendulum's recent gig announcement has sparked a flurry of new rumours that they could be headed back to Download having already performed there last year.

The Aussie electronic band have confirmed they will be in the UK the weekend that the festival takes place.

Download will occur between 13 and 15 June next year with Pendulum now having confirmed a gig in the country on the 13th.

With a headline show revealed in Plymouth for the Friday evening, many think this is a clue that they could have been booked to head up North to the Download Festival for the rest of the weekend.

Speculating online, one fan simply said: "Pendulum looking likely."

Insisting they would be a welcome addition to the line-up, another fan went on to quip: "I hope so lol, loved them last year! Hopefully they do them in the evening so they can have a light show."

A third shared of their potential involvement: "They were one of my suprises of the weekend for sure. Went along because I knew a few hits, stayed because it was an absolute blast.

"Would definitely welcome them back again!"

As a fourth said: "I hope so - saw them at their most recent tour and they were so good."

The speculation surrounding Pendulum comes just days after fans 'unmasked' that Slipknot could be taking to the stage.

The thrash metal legends recently revealed their tour dates for 2025 and fans have spotted a gap in their schedule, which could be filled by an appearance at the Leicestershire rock festival in June.

One fan who studied their dates said: “If my dates are correct doesn’t this mean that they could play Sunday at the festival after Switzerland?”

Another commented: “Last time they played Switzerland they played Download the day after.”

And another person added: “I love Slipknot and have never seen them before. Missed out on 25th Anniversary tickets in December. So, for me, this is great.”
