Down? Phil is focus on Pantera right now and the band opens for Metallica in the States on June 22th. So it's certain Down won't be at Hellfest...

This year, the most surprising was the line-up not heavy at all on both Main Stages the last day around Foo Fighters. Added with the huge mention of the "Infernopolis" concept. All of this probably to be kind with FF (and a bit for The Prodigy). This year, there's a subtitle on the festival but less big so I guess we gonna have headliners more classic. IN - As they are back on track, Slayer seems pretty obvious even if they haven't announced anything yet for Europe. - With a new album coming next year, Volbeat is another good guess as headliner. - Already announced in Europe, SlipKnot are almost confirmed. - Same for KoRn. - Probably Sabaton too as they could release a new album already. - With their huge success, selling 20k tickets in Paris in a few seconds, we can expect Falling In Reverse. - Following their actual huge tour, Powerwolf could win a post and headline the second Main Stage. - I remembered some rumors on this forum about Nine Inch Nails coming in Europe so they might be here too. - As his tour in February is kinda short, maybe Marilyn Manson will do festivals after. OUT - I guess Iron Maiden are out. Seems legit to thing they'll play Graspop on 19th and they won't play 4 days in a row. - Announced as exclusivity at Rock Am Ring, we won't have Sleep Token. My guess (not hyped at all): MS1 SlipKnot - Slayer - Sabaton - Nine Inch Nails. MS2 Falling In Reverse - Korn - Marilyn Manson - Volbeat.

Guys, you can't seriously compare artists playing at SportPaleis 4 months before RW and one playing there 2 days before...

The new drummer of LP speaks about different festivals in Germany. Difficult to say if he speaks about Rock Am Ring + Rock Im Park or other festivals like Southside maybe. I guess we'll have the tour announced in November around the release of the new album. But the band will probably be everywhere and do an intense tour. From Rock Am Ring to Nos Alive with Hellfest, Rock Werchter, NovaRock, Mad Cool and some stadiums like Stade de France in Paris. Wait and see.

But it's really rare they have non metal / hard-rock headliners. They had Blink 182 in 2017 (first show ever in Norway) but that's it.

I also think about Foo Fighters as they just drop out of a festival in the US this weekend very last-minute. Linkin Park have now a show in Paris on November 3rd and the new album is coming on the 15th. I guess we won't have any announcements for 2025 before that.

I made a mistake: the video from yesterday said 48h to wait. So we should have names tomorrow (Sunday evening) and not on Monday. Wait and see.

All 3 festivals are happening in July in the same 2 weeks. I guess it's not a coincidence. Even if their capacity are really different (20k, 45k, 60k).

Novarock is on October 3rd, so in 2 weeks.

They put a video online. We should have an announcement on Monday evening.

They just change their logo on social networks. Maybe sign of next announcement soon? Something is coming here, NovaRock teases for early October, Werchter spoke yesterday about wishlist ending soon... Could we have a tour announcement of Linkin Park with them playing Lollapalooza Paris (Live Nation) instead of Hellfest? As it's their first long tour since 2017 and to make sure Emily's voice stays ok, they could do a long 6-7 weeks tour from early June (Rock Am Ring) until mid-July (Lolla Paris). Just an idea.

I bet on Linkin Park.

But another great source here, aka @Ken19, had infos that she was supposed to be here. We'll see with the confirmations later.

Time is running out to let us know which artists or bands you want to see at #RW25. Don’t miss your chance to share your picks and win the very first combi ticket for the festival! End of the wishlist soon and first names early October? With so many festivals announcing so early this year, I hope some in Belgium will do the same.

It makes them sure at 99.99%. Same for Halestorm and Avatar.
