Had a dream last night that Marilyn Manson played so yeah.

do think they'd be a good NME headliner, with a closing set DJ (have Annie Mac in my prediction)

Yeah tbh if they're not at Download I wouldn't be surprised to see them on the lineup.

Did August fests this year though, I think for an act in that bubble Prophets of Rage are a better bet

Ah fair. Can't see Prophets of Rage playing at all for some reason.

thoughts? it's definitely possible, and would mean that they'd probably be available for R&L too.. could do a Kasabian and play both TRNSMT & R&L. I do think if R&L miss their chance with them this summer then they might miss them for this album tour and then it'll be another 5 years or so till they can get them again.

Yeah, if it's true I think they'll do R&L. The main issue with them doing R+L was if they were going to be touring or still working on the album, but if they're doing this and rumoured to do Coachella I think it's pretty likely they'll be around.

Then they'll do Glasto and arenas/stadiums in 2019

It's too soon for them to return to R+L if they're not yet sure of a new album. Having never played either, I'd say IOW and BST are better shouts, particularly if TRNSMT has them on around the same time.

Reckon they'd do stadiums instead of BST tbh but yeah fair point in general.

I guess it depends whether their new album is out or not before summer. Perhaps they have a preliminary release date which R&L know about and therefore could be booked.

Doing stadiums to set up for an album tour is unlikely tho. Tbh I don't think they'll do BST but I needed to look like I had a clue where else they could be.

Another booker said a couple of weeks ago that they don't have a preliminary date for the album yet.

Fair, tbh doing TNSMT, a couple of other festivals outside the UK and maybe a couple smaller exclusive gigs would be likely. Play some new tunes but mainly stuff that's already been released, then release the album around September/October time.

Think Foos are still more likely than AM just now

That's similar to what they did last time (albeit with Glastonbury in the middle of a massive European festival run) so it should be possible in theory.

Yeah definitely. Foos drawing a line under their three stadium dates suggests they're at a festival; IOW is doubtful bc of the dates and I'm sure Download announcement will go past with three other bands headlining so if Arctic Monkeys are to be at R+L then I'd expect it to be as well as and not instead of Foos.

ngl i really fucking want it to be green day even though i guess its not too likely

second time (unless ive forgotten anymore) and the first time was when i first made an account and put it in the forum for no reason with no context so was kind of pointless

[Mattymooz]

Haven't VANT broken up now anyways?

yeah Mattie said its bc he wants to hit the mainstream with his music and try help make the world less shit or something and he couldnt do that with punk music as it isnt mainstream so hes gonna do a different project then come back to vant

Why not? Subbed Download and have arena toured big enough

Korn subbed Download and played 3rd at R&L the following year. I seem to remember there were plenty of seating tickets available for their arena tours on the day too because I almost picked a few up. I wouldn't be massively surprised if they did sub, but right now I'm thinking that three of Catfish & The Bottlemen, Tame Impala, Twenty One Pilots, The Chainsmokers or Thirty Seconds to Mars to sub.
