PARKWAY DRIVE / Five Finger Death Punch / Lamb Of God / Killswitch Engage / Jinjer / Code Orange / Spiritbox makes sense with the "weak headliner but strong undercard" thing

Judas Priest are far too big to 3rd down, other than that i would love this

really don't see that friday happening but i would absolutely love it. there' s a strong emo revival happening right now and Download should ride that wave. Put MCR to headline, Paramore to sub (if it's possible) maybe even Yungblud to 3rd down

know it's a joke but imagine living in a world where Kid Rock still get logo spots at a UK festival

Hellfest only got NIN because they let Trent curate the lineup with bands that appealed to their music, i would lose my mind if Download did the same something like: NINE INCH NAILS / Placebo / Rob Zombie / Ministry / Killing Joke / Skynd / Health

Don't see why Muse, Biffy and MCR are ruled out as headliner options IMO the headliner pool now looks like this: Established headliners Iron Maiden Metallica Slipknot System Of A Down Rammstein Avenged Sevenfold Biffy Clyro Muse Guns N'Roses Def Leppard My Chemical Romance Big enough but never played Green Day Pearl Jam Blink-182 Ready to get bump up Bring Me The Horizon Ghost Five Finger Death Punch (?) ...and some other bands that i don't know if will tour again: KISS, Aerosmith, Ozzy/Sabbath, Foo Fighters, AC/DC along with once in a lifetime bookings like Tool and RATM

AC/DC are now rumoured to do Hellfest next year Metallica - BMTH - Metallica - AC/DC

FFDP were incredibly shite at Download Germany, i know they are huge and i used to like them a lot but i hope they don't sub nex year let alone headline otherwise, i don't like Sabaton music but they did put a hell of a show right before Metallica

in the US festivals that Metallica played twice the headliner of the day between actually played the second mainstage, would it be the same at DL? i can't imagine BMTH or whoever headlines Friday playing at Opus

if the rumours about headliners are true: Apex: METALLICA (hits set) / Ghost / Trivium Opus: Limp Bizkit / Alexisonfire ___ Apex: BRING ME THE HORIZON / Architects / While She Sleeps Opus: Alice In Chains / Stone Temple Pilots ___ Apex: METALLICA (Kill Em All Set) / Parkway Drive / Gojira Opus: The Offspring / Papa Roach ___ Apex: GUNS N'ROSES / Alter Bridge / Halestorm Opus: Lamb Of God / Behemoth Apex and Opus headliners not clashing, Metallica and GNR with 2+ hour set

METALLICA Alter Bridge Gojira 2nd: The Offspring _____ BRING ME THE HORIZON Architects While She Sleeps 2nd: Rob Zombie ______ METALLICA Five Finger Death Punch Trivium 2nd: Halestorm _______ PARKWAY DRIVE Ghost Lamb Of God 2nd: Sabaton

just thinking about how powerful the last few years lineups could have been with a 4th headliner added 2017: LINKIN PARK - SYSTEM OF A DOWN - BIFFY CLYRO - AEROSMITH 2018: FOO FIGHTERS - AVENGED SEVENFOLD - GUNS N'ROSES - OZZY OSBOURNE 2019: BRING ME THE HORIZON - DEF LEPPARD - SLIPKNOT - TOOL 2022: METALLICA - KISS - IRON MAIDEN - BIFFY CLYRO

went to a few festivals with main stages side by side and i think it works pretty well, Download itself already did it in 2010 with AC/DC

if they really want to get BIG next year and put a 2 Mainstage setup (with Mainstages side by side) Thursday MS1 (Knotfest UK): SLIPKNOT / Gojira / Killswitch Engage MS2: BRING ME THE HORIZON / Parkway Drive / Bury Tomorrow ___ Friday MS1: METALLICA / Alter Bridge / Halestorm MS2: GHOST / Trivium / Mudvayne __ Saturday MS1: RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE / Run The Jewels / While She Sleeps MS2: FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH / Limp Bizkit / Papa Roach ___ Sunday MS1: SYSTEM OF A DOWN / Disturbed / The Offspring MS2: JUDAS PRIEST / Lamb Of God / Amon Amarth

that's what i think, Ghost are playing O2 in london, so did Alter Bridge and BMTH multiple times. FFDP in 2017 pulled a crowd bigger than any headliner that year, i don't know what doesn't make those bands bigger than Def Leppard and KISS
