It's going to be a long 11 months, I hope that we get some news on the first single and new album by the end of the year and they're confirmed for Download in the first announcement. Then we can start planning again

Thats actually awesome. All this talk of them makes it seem so long since I last seen them even though it was only a few months ago xD.

5 Minutes in. "Any time we can come back and play here, we'll be here in a heartbeat". Watching these videos show they are one of the Download success stories. From the first slot in '08 with some tech issues, to pulling crowds like that.

The first thing Chris said on Friday was 'That's was great but it's not Download'. It is the benchmark they use for all other festivals.

Both him and Ben both watch the videos back when they're at home especially Thing My Father Said and Peace Is Free for the singalongs

That's the thing, they sold 30,000 tickets in March and are gaining all the time. This year I've seen far more ladies and youngsters at their shows, it's not just us classic/70's rock fans anymore.

i'd much prefer BSC on main and aiming for 3rd would seem about right, 4th on a bigger bill e.g. this years saturday would be ok

However they easily on track to be worthy of headlining second stage - and are arguably as big as any of this years second stage headliners, playing and selling out the same size venues

Yeah 3rd from top sounds about right. Its what AB played before the Arena tour. A tour on which a lot of people preferred BSC.

salemzorroI personally think they'll play Main stage 3rd from top as that's the slot they want but they could more than fill a Second Stage headliner role.

They shouldn't accept anything less than that.

alot of bands could fill a second stage headliner role tho but there is much bigger options out there, BSC would be 4th from top main band which is a good 50 min slot

My criteria is Wembley headliner for Main stage and Brixton/Hammersmith headliner for Second stage.

Once they're booked for their arena tour all this nonsense will end!!

Simple Plan, HIM, Cavalera Conspiracy & Trivium have all dropped down in recent years, there smaller then Crue & Cooper for sure. Rise Against are slightly higher then BSC, They were a pretty weak 2nd headliner at Download tbh, there crowd was not very big but they were going up against Sabbath so cant hold that up against them, Nobody wanted to go up against Sabbath tbh,

a 2nd stage headliner needs to playing atleast 3rd from top main at Download, last year they played 5th.. with a new album they could play 4th top if they dont drop and continue to put out good music they will move up in due time

Blackstone Cherry are not 2nd stage headliner material, your letting your love the band take over

If LN want to put them in arenas next year why couldn't they headline? Are they any smaller than Simple Plan, HIM, Cavalera Conspiracy, Motley Crue, Trivium, Alice Cooper, Rise Against etc who have all headlined Second in recent years?

That video is when they first thought 'Ok, something's just clicked'. Jon only mentioned it in an interview the other day.

As for Second Stage headliner, I've discussed it at length with them and I'm still not sure they would want that slot. They want to play to as many people as possible and would rather be on Main. I will continue to push though as I think it's the way forward.

Would be fantastic to see them again. Agree with the 2nd stage headliner comment.

Rockstar

Have they already been booked for Download 2013 then?

If actual contracts have been signed or not that I don't know but they sure as hell think they're playing. They love Download and would have even dropped the last couple of Chickenfoot dates this year to come and play.

Ah ok cool, i hope they do as they always get a great turn out and are a great festival band, i wouldn't be shocked to see them headline 2nd stage.

I suppose I shall wait until the new year before starting the Black Stone Cherry June 2013 UK dates thread for their shows slotted around Download when they'll be here supporting their new album. They've promised to bring some sunshine then too!
