KSE Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 i'm thinking it could be slipknot, what better way to thank the fans for the golden god award than to headline the same festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOAD Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I like your prediction SOAD but Van Halen to sub?! Absolutely no chance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaosmark2 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 That's an incredibly strong set of subs. All 3 might edge headliner status (albeit with 2 others being strong). Most of the bands you've placed 3rd-5th aren't as large as that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntyyy Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 I expect if Alter Bridge played again, they'd headline Second or Sub, rather than play third down again. I expect Mastodon would headline second, off of The Hunter's success. I'd say Stone Sour would sub, unless the sub above them is as strong as QOTSA. I doubt Killswitch will be back that high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kipper64 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 (edited) Knotfest will be it's own event, however doesn't rule them out of Download - but to be honest I reckon Stone Sour will be likely doing festivals next year seeing as they'll have a new album out to promote. I think one of 30STM or A7X will get the bump up next year too. Rammstein said in their thank you message for their metal hammer award something like "rest assured, we will return to the UK soon", which makes it seem like the UK will be a part of their festival tour next year so Download's possibly finally nabbed them. Could see it being A7X (or 30STM)/RAMMSTEIN/VAN HALEN (Or Iron Maiden) Edited June 15, 2012 by kipper64 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AcademicPistol Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) Alot of folkes reckon AX7, BFMV & Biffy etc will be headlining soon but what do people think about Deftones chances of headlining? i mean they have been subs twice (at least) now. I would love them to headline with maybe 2 'stronger' (commercially) acts cushioning them but it's probably unlikely.

AcademicPistol Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Just to add i think they have that QOTSA 'curse'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Fair I can't really work out how big Van Halen are over here... I always thought Soundgarden should headline Download if they ever played but of course they didn't... anywayz how about something like this for Main Stage: Tool Bullet For My Valentine Alter Bridge Mastodon Serj Tankian Five Finger Death Punch Cancer Bats LostAlone Foo Fighters My Chemical Romance Brand New Killswitch Engage Alice in Chains Parkway Drive The Blackout Fightstar Royal Republic Iron Maiden Queens of the Stone Age Stone Sour Down Within Temptation Coheed and Cambria Killing Joke Testanent Rise To Remain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 What do you guys think the chances of Muse playing next year are? I'm planning on going to a festival they play at for at least one day. I just hope to God I don't have to go to V, and Download would be ideal.

Gucci Piggy Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 Would download be able to get Muse, knowing that the other two would have to be bloody good rock/metal headers? I say this due the to price Muse have on their latest arena tour. £55 + £5.50 booking fee then postage of about £5 probs so you're looking at £63 possibly for a single ticket.

Andre91 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 (edited) It would be great (imo) if it was Muse, Green Day & Rammstein, I think it's possible too. With 30STM, Stone Sour and either Paramore or MCR subbing. Muse 30STM Limp Bizkit Cypress Hill Papa Roach Staind Alkaline Trio Falling In Reverse InMe Green Day Paramore OR MCR Enter Shikari Bring Me The Horizon Sum 41 Coheed and Cambria Less Than Jake The Blackout Andrew WK Rammstein Stone Sour KoRn Alice In Chains Five Finger Death Punch In Flames A Day To Remember Parkway Drive Architects Second Stage headliners Slayer, Alter Bridge & Mastodon. With Primus, Black Stone Cherry & The Gaslight Anthem subbing Edited June 16, 2012 by Andre91 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza_20 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I see what you mean about the other two being good metal headliners. But something like Avenged Sevenfold/Muse/Iron Maiden would surely be a viable set of headliners? And that probably wouldn't cost much more than this year's, would it?

BTK1609 Posted June 16, 2012 Report Share Posted June 16, 2012 I don't, unless there's a new album, in which case fair enough, if not, it's just the same old schtick as Soni last year, which I didn't think was up to their usual standard.

Slavivlad Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Rush is a possibility, me thinks. They have some shows in UK, last one being 30th May but that's now, if more were added - then they could finish at DL. But who knows...
