My thoughts:

Fall Out Boy to sub Metallica.

Soni is so dead.

Metallica first band to headline R&L four times, beating Foos and Chilis to the punch.

Kinda pleased with it, I do like them and Glasto was the only time I've seen them, so will be good to get more of a standard set from them, with a bigger crowd.

Surely a new album must be on the way? My view on how decent a booking it is may changed depending on that...

the amount of people who went this year but took great pride in specifically not seeing anyone, don't bank on it

You'd be surprised how many people this will scare off. You saw the backlash to Glastonbury this year because they're the archetypal metal band even though they're fairly inoffensive and stuff.

I was really excited for Metallica at Glastonbury, such an epic setting for a heavy band to play but this seems a bit flat. I'd rather go see Wilkinson & I think if there's an indie band or one of those deep house acts like Disclosure on NME, Metallica will end up with mainly day ticketers watching them.

Can't imagine many 16/17-22 year olds bothered by Metallica.

Yes they've played UK tests quite a lot but haven't played R + L in a while, and a lot of people who go to R+L might like them but not the line ups of those festivals as they're generally a lot heavier than R+L and so haven't seen them yet

What you mean to say is this will be a bunch of teenagers going to their first festival so they haven't seen Metallica yet. By the time they gom to their 3rd festivals they will have seen Metallica 9 times regardless if you wanted to or not as they are fucking everywhere every year.

    • It’s probably fairly easy to stay in a hotel but I much prefer the camping set up. It was pretty quiet where we camped but a longer walk to the arena but the weather was nice so not a problem. There’s also a lake you can camp by. Once we got off the tube/train we walked down the main road and turned right (festival site is left) and camped down there.    Do you think? They do have water points inside the arena & where I camped there were toilets, showers & water points super close. I think if you time it right the RiP stage is so easy to get close to the front. Second stage is decent & a like the indoor arena for bands on the 3rd stage. I think all the stages sound better than Downloads too, always had issues with the 2nd stage at Download being too quiet. Even main at some points. 
    • Interesting that they’ve mentioned Blink-182 in mail. Btw dates for 2027 are 10-12 June. Same dates as Mystic & Sweden Rock and most likely Download, RFP & Greenfield.     
    • Scooter are a meme booking. The Chems aren’t viewed in the same way. They’re a serious electronic act, whereas Scooter has only ever been suggested (and now booked) because ‘LOL look how wacky us metalheads are we love silly music too’.
