I doubt it's LCD, but I guess they are not that far away. Nick Cave seems nailed on for this. 

If LCD are on the bill, I'm strongly considering this.

Yes Nick Cave seems more likely because he doesn't have any dates in Croatia so far, but seeing the past editions and the re-booking of the same artists I'd put my money (and mostly my hopes) on LCD.

Headliner guesses, who it could be?

Possible;
Nick Cave
The xx
Franz Ferdinand
Editors
Lorde
Beck
Two Door Cinema Club

Less possible (still total guesswork);
Gorillaz
The Killers
Foo Fighters (hahaha, but they probably cost the same as KOL)
Bjork
Snow Patrol
Noel Gallagher
Massive Attack
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Biffy Clyro

 

Who else?

Why do you think Massive Attack, Gorillaz, The Killers e.g. are less possible?

They're all around next summer and could fit well for InMusic.

All guesswork Alan (to pass the time), but guessing Gorillaz/Killers are too big for INmusic, and massive attack maybe not big enough to headline but also not small enough not to headline in 2018 and not fitting the 'ROCK' angle they seem to be going for. 

So Franz (&FFS) have headlined 2006, 2009, 2012, 2015 ... spot a pattern?

Remove Editors, they have a show in Zagreb in april.

Also I'd say The XX and Massive attack are highly unlikely.They played in Croatia last year. We usually don't get the same bands that often in our countries.

Tons of Croatians went to Exit to see The Killers this year too. They're expensive so they probably won't risk with them but could be wrong.

 

I would add to that list Depeche Mode (didn't play in Croatia on this tour and they usually do on every) and Nine Inch Nails (never played in Croatia I think)

NIN would be good. Could always be a wildcard like Jack White or Arctic Monkeys.

Could it be Two Door Cinema Club? Just announced for NOS Alive

Mmm I hope no too and I also think they don't deserve a pre-announcement like this, all this hype reminds me to Kol announcement last year so I'm expecting something quite big.

[gregory]

Muse are way too big for this, right? Just announced first Euro show of 2018 for the same weekend as INmusic and haven't played in Croatia for over 10 years...

The Killers are around and have never played Croatia, but also too big (expensive), right? 

[gregory]

This probably is meaningless, but INmusic re-tweeted someone's tweet about Run The Jewels (they have a tendency to retweet most things though to be honest...). They are around (playing with QOTSA in London), not sure if they're headline material though. INmusic doesn't seem to have had much rap/hip-hop over the years.

They're brilliant live and I love their music but I don't think they're headline material for Inmusic.

I'm expecting something rock/indie.

Unpredictable eheh

[NomadicMan]

So Nick Cave confirmed they are playing 26th; looks like QOTSA for 25th which means our last headliners the 27th which quite likely rules out Franz Ferdinand....anyone for Pearl Jam stopping by for a 90 minute set on way from Rome to Prague??? We can dream right 

[neacaisa]

i think pearl jam already announced all they have for europe this year.

Surely they going to fit one gig in between Rome and Prague. That’s 4 free days otherwise and they never have more than 2 free days between any other gigs on that tour. 

[Noeliam]

Are Muse really less expensive than SoAD?

[Nicklord]

Maybe, but not in Croatia  
Pearl Jam, Depeche Mode, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, System of a Down etc...they will probably never play on Inmusic, too expensive. But Muse, Gorillaz, LCD, Biffy Clyro, probably one of them will be 3rd headliner.

 

I would say that Muse are in the first group and SOAD is in the second but yeah, I agree

 

 

Also Nick Cave

Agree, my money would be a gig in Vienna on the 28th/29th. Nice double bill with inmusic though ;)....pearl jam did play zagreb in 2006 you know!

Nope mate, sorry to disappoint, but they just really like Rome (and Italy) and take a week of holidays there...

SOAD played in Finland few years ago for 700, 000 €. Don't ask me where did I get this information, but it's true. 
So, my opinion is that Muse is cheaper, but that's only my opinion

I believe you that they cost 700k€ but there's no way Muse is cheaper than that Muse can and does play stadiums (or 5+ date arena residencies) around Europe and is literally the first or the second name of every festival they play last . SOAD doesn't even headline every festival they play, like Pinkpop this year (which Muse headlined in 2015)

 

But then, 700k is a lot for Inmusic so yeah. They won't play there
