Generally fairly reliable aye. Would suggest an American, British band for certain, and the only others I can think of would be German(Rammstein), Australian(AC/DC) or Canadian (Nickelback). So looking likely to be Maiden, Slipknot and Rammstein I imagine. Great set of headliners for Download, though seeing as I saw Maiden and Rammstein together at Soni 2010, and Maiden at Nova Rock 2011, and Slipknot at Soni 2011 (who were shite), not doing much for me. Wouldn't mind seeing Rammstein again, but would rather at their own show rather than a stripped down festival set.

Are slipknot releasing a new album? I didnt think they were considering corey and jim are working on the stone sour album. Unless they are then I really hope they dont headline as itd just try and emulate 09, which I doubt it would match. Id like there to be a surprise headliner which no-one saw coming.

They keep releasing diffferent statements re: a new album afaik. I think they've got demos knocking about but I seriously doubt they'll have the time to sit down, write and record before next June with all of them doing their own thing and Corey focusing on the new Stone Sour releases. So likely they won't have much, if anything, new by the time DL comes around, so it'll essentially be the same tour they've been touring since before DL09.

Van Halen are unlikely, the dropped half their US tour for literally no reason, then announced some Japanese dates for later this year, which have also been dropped now (Eddie has some surgery or something to go through), so even if a UK festival was to book them, they'd likely not show up.

At the risk of throwing in an unpopular curveball, I'm going with:

My Chemical Romance, Rammstein, Iron Maiden.

I really don't think Slipknot will be there, Stone Sour will, but not Slipknot. It doesn't make sense for them to play again without new material. It would be the same set at 2009 if they played without anything new.

MCR have a new album out, played Reading recently, are still very popular (even if they arent around these parts) and despite what you may have heard, were not that badly received in 2007 (they played the entirety of their allotted hour and a half, and the bottling was from a minority of what was a modest, but not tiny crowd)

Sorry Gazza, but that's a load of shite. Paramore are no more delighted to play here than any of the other bands being paid thousands of pounds to do so. In fact judging by the (lack of) effort put in when I saw them subbing Blink at Reading in 2010, maybe less so. Very unlikely to be higher than second stage headliners at Download IMO, unless the new album does VERY well, but the resulting headline status wouldn't kick in until the following year anyway.

    • Same here, when the lineup dropped it looked very strong but this year I’m considering more whether I buy tickets for enjoyment or fomo.   Speaking of that dilemma, I caved and bought a Turnstile Piece Hall ticket so I’ll see you there 😂
