Haha wanted to see who'd pick that up first

her second album did massive things for her, I don't think it's likely but she has a new album out at the end of the year and her fanbase has increased dramatically... it'l be interesting to see how much her new album propels her

I'm not too sure it will though and even if it did headlining Glasto seems really far fetched

Even if her new album does really well I can't see her being higher than subbing.

Biffy and Ed Sheeran are good shouts for Glastonbury actually

Seriously guys, it's the download 2016 thread. What are you doing? This is one of the few forums on here that stays in topic. Take your ellie golding and Glastonbury predictions elsewhere please.

Wot lightning sed.

[dentalplan]

Is someone playing Arctic Monkeys in here? Cos all I hear is Crying Lightning.

:) :)

Nah but that's right. A discussion on Ellie Goulding headlining Glastonbury would be way more pages than is fair.

[lightning1000]

To be honest, its just that people actually use these boards for info, unlike the r&l one and it'd be nice to keep it on topic.

And nice joke by the way, I'd up upvote if I wasn't on my phone

Sabbath – Tool – Biffy

After hearing Andy on the Jasta podcast he definitely thinks Tool are still a headliner & I’d be confident that no other UK major fests would give them the same spot. Biffy are a Download favourite (most booked band along with Korn) & will be a new headliner plus have a new album. Sabbath makes sense.

Unless BMTH’s next album is vastly different I can’t see them headlining as they’re simply too divisive.

Some people got all worked up because they played Wembley (didn’t sell it out, tickets were on sale for a year!) but there’s a world of difference between nearly selling a 12k seater arena & headlining a major festival. Plus, I didn’t read anybody clamouring for a headline set after their performance last year.

I think Biffy will be at Glasto tbh, and if Glasto go after them I'm sure they'd accept.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

BMTH did sell out Wembley. Not til a few weeks before but it did.

[theramm]

People were picking up cheap tickets online just before, £5 on Viagogo et al. Maybe nitpicking but that's not a sell out. Try getting that sh!t for Metallica or Pearl Jam when they tour.

[JSmurphy]

Quality poster Hart Attack. Obviously very very early days still, but seen some cracking suggestions in this thread. Any of Rammstein / Tool / Queens / Biffy / Green Day would tempt me.

They are resells so technically sold more than the capacity if some tickets sold twice...

Either you've reached a whole new level of dry sarcasm or this is one of the more batshit insane defences of a statement made on these forums. Edited February 17, 2015 by theevilfridge

Dry sarcasm is my personal fave

Hey guys, noob here. Been lurking on the forum for a couple of months now.

Going to my first Download this year, mostly because I've been waiting years for Muse to headline - they'll surprise a lot of people.

That 2016 poster almost seems too good to be true in my opinion, although I can understand why each of the headliners are there.

My personal guesses would be Biffy Clyro, Black Sabbath and Paramore. Biffy will have a new record out, and Andy has claimed they will only headline if they have one more amazing album, so we'll see how that goes. Sabbath haven't played there since 13 was released, so there might be scope for that, and Andy has been bigging up Paramore so much, putting them in the new batch of headliners and they will definitely expand the horizons of the festival more.

If those were the headliners, I wouldn't be disappointed, but I'd definitely say it's a risk giving two new headliners a chance, who are maybe a little controversial in choice as they aren't really metal acts. Black Sabbath would definitely be a popular choice though.

[Muppetmark]

Bmth might headline then after that reading announcement

2017.
