Download 2016

[Matt42]

BMTH should headline, "Thats The Spirit" is selling incredibly and even the singles are doing well.

 

Not to mention they've just sold a shit tonne of UK tickets.

[Andre91]

Booking BMTH is a no brainer at this current time stupid Download if they don't, though.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Not to mention how much loving Copping is giving them on twitter recently.

And Download Dog!

 

Only just seen who they're beating in the midweek charts. That's pretty damn impressive.

[thewayiam]

Its a no brainer year next year.

 

But its more to do with the fact the acts are just not around. 

 

Tool.... maybe 2017. 

 

That's enough to believe Soni is defo off. I'm presuming you are off the belief one is BMTH?, if so, they really didn't have anything.

They aren't doing anything major to need to sell to be honest.

[DomDom1984]

Aren't they up against Stereophonics and The Libertines? That'd be a pretty decent coup for them.

[lightning1000]

Yeah, its pretty easy to see that bmth are the next big thing. They won't headline in 2016 though.

I think beating The Libs is the impressive one although I expected that album to go to number 1. I just think maybe they've stagnated with fans slightly, all the hype is gone now.

Who do you think? 

[MONTHEBIFF2013]

I hope they haven't booked Maiden and metallic. The festival needs something fresh

Chart website says the Phonics are closer than The Libertines.

I know, I don't think I'm far from being correct that Biffy Clyro wouldn't be a Download headliner next year and going by luckysalt saying there are no other choices, I'd imagine they would be one. Andy wasn't impressed by 2012 though and he shouldn't be as it was easily the worst I've seen them. They won't be at IOW, R&L, V or T (I know they repeat a lot but I can't see them just two years later).

I'm pretty sure that first sentence says he's not far wrong when he says they won't be headlining, but he imagines they will be headlining...?

Actually I don't even know which of his points are about Biffy and which are about BMTH since the quoted post was about BMTH.

It's just one massive clusterfuck of sounds that don't make any sense.

At first I read it as the first sentence being about Biffy not playing Download but BMTH headlining if there aren't any other options but I think it's actually all about Biffy for some reason.

[Gucci Piggy]

So did I, but then the next sentence is about Biffy so I'm lost.

I would definitely give Gazza an F if I was his English teacher.

Probably the best thing to have come out of eFests.

[Matt42]

Recycling an old point I made but I'm very open to the chance only one of both Maiden and Sabbath will be there and instead someone who's tour plans aren't known to us.

 

Starting to warm to the idea that Biffy might be at Download, as I'm doubting they are in the running for Glastonbury.

 

BMTH, Biffy Clyro and Black Sabbath/Maiden would still shift tickets...

 

heck it could even be Rammstein, Biffy Clyro and Black Sabbath

[FloorFiller]

with Sabbath out of the picture after next year i can't imagine Download not throwing everything they've got to get them one last time, and saving at least one of Metallica/Maiden for the following year (because what else have they got?)

 

Black Sabbath, System Of A Down... somebody else (Biffy?) for 2016

 

Bring Me The Horizon, Iron Maiden, Metallica for 2017

[Gucci Piggy]

Could even be Tool, Tool and Tool.

[Gucci Piggy]

No FloorFiller you forgot Tool

[FloorFiller]

i would replace either Metallica or Maiden with Tool, but either of those not appearing on the lineup for more than 4/5 years seems far more unlikely than Tool releasing an album in time/headlining (and i definitely don't think they'll be ready by next year - they don't seem in any rush to get the album finished)

[Gucci Piggy]

I don't think they'll ever be ready tbf. One of them will probably die before the next album is finished and they'll split forever.
