Could see a lot of those playing to be fair but just sort out of those positions, however I don't remember Refused getting back together for some more shows all of a sudden (anyway they'd headline a stage)

I presume it's after the Facebook post(s) about Jon leaving. So that must mean there is something for him to leave, i.e. Refused is still a going concern.

Which is clutching at straws a bit, but still. I'd freaking love it if they played again.

To be fair, I could see Royal Blood easily opening up the mainstage and I think they could be a really good band to do so.

Royal Blood are bigger than any of the bands 4th down on main on that poster or any of the suggested lineups, and arguably bigger than the 3rd down bands as well. No way in hell are they opening the main stage.

To be honest I can't see them playing Download at all. No need when they can get high slots at mainstream festivals.

Oh well in that case I totally agree, I thought everyone was of the impression they were too small to open it haha. Didn't they play DL last year though? Wouldn't be surprised to see them at Leeds again on the mainstage.

He was fired back in 2013 and know one really knows why he did put that post on Facebook now and not when he was fired, but I still hope they do some more shows

Hehe, yeah, definitely not too small! They did play it this year, along with basically every other festival going, cos nowhere's really that bothered about exclusivity for up-and-coming acts that don't even have an album out. After selling a crapload of copies of your debut, and a crapload of tickets for two UK tours, it becomes a different matter!

I think they consensus is they'll play 3rd down-ish at Reading and Leeds, yeah. Especially if they can get new material at least on the way by then. Would be a similar trajectory to the Vaccines between the 2011 and 2012 festivals.

And I expect they'd sub third or headline second stage.

That poster has been on the Download forum before, In the fake poster thread im sure months ago

    • One problem could be that many of the hospitality packages are already sold out. Unless you’ve a media contact, media organisations normally get a hospitality allocation.
    • I agree on WA taking a year off in 2027. But if they got the call from R&L could see them having a similar August to what Fontaines are doing now. A few random shows + 2/3 other festivals. The festival/LN does seem to love them as well so there is a chance they take a punt.   I did see about Rodrigo potentially doing a stadium in Poland but no clue if that would be 2027 or 2028, I just can't see her at the Fest at all, seems too big in current climate.   If I were to guess the headliners next year I'd go with Fred Again/Foos/Capaldi/Olivia Dean/Biffy or Wolf Alice/Some Rapper, Tems?
    • Ulitimately the “Top 6” or top 2 on a day by day basis work as a collective   You could easily have Foo Fighters and someone else much weaker on a single day   As long as they add up to 3, whether they’re a 2 and 1 or both 1.5s it doesn’t really matter   The Florence- Chase and status day is basically a 1.5 and 1, hence it selling the weakest
