Download 2016

[Frankly Mr Shankly]

I can see Tool playing again before the next album is released. They seem to do random tours every now & then & they're long over due a trip to Europe.

[thewayiam]

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...?

It's quite obvious, if they have a new album out and are touring what did I realistically miss out

Need everything spelt out lol.

They were extremely close to playing Hellfest and the Sonisphere tour this year, it went down to the wire and then decided not to tour and concentrate on writing instead

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 have no idea what you just said but Biffy are definitely doing festivals next Summer.

I've not said they aren't, far from it in fact.

Biffy ain't headlining download in 2016.

[Dead throne]

I am headlining 2016

[FloorFiller]

Biffy ain't headlining download in 2016.

 

hmm if Biffy aren't doing Download then i can't think of what festival(s) they will play. the only option left that they haven't done in the past few years is Glastonbury, and i just don't see that happening. maybe/hopefully they'll just do their own shows instead

[thewayiam]

No, never were. Said that ages, provided they are about as metalicbear says then it's either Glastonbury or BST like The Libertines but I'm not sure they'll agree to play shows that haven't sold particularly well after making that step up to headliner. Glastonbury really is the best option for them and if FF SR turns out for Glastonbury then things changed anyway from what Emily said.

But you said you won't be far wrong when saying they won't headline, and then said you imagine they will headline? Those are opposite things.

[Gucci Piggy]

Right so from Gazza we now have:

- I won't be far wrong when I say Biffy won't headline

- I imagine Biffy will headline

- Biffy never were headlining

Sick

[Andre91]

Biffy are my pick for Glastonbury. Although I'd be over the moon if R&L got them back. I know it would have only been three years, but you know, it's Biffy.

No I didn't, I said I imagine they would of been someone Download would have looked at as an option considering the whole it's easy as it's all there is tag. I've said from the very start they won't headline Download next year.

Well a certain Mr Andre gets it lol, if I had put it won't be these so that leaves Glastonbury that leaves nothing to work out and that's no fun.

While I/you and others may be wrong I've said Biffy for Glastonbury from that she start as well, it makes a lot of sense and that there is not a chance they'd take a Download headliner offer over that.

What you actually got instead of making stuff up is they would have been at least an option if possible given it seems they've got 'what's left'. You got the other two points correct though

[FloorFiller]

god i hope Biffy aren't at Glastonbury. that would be shite (and a waste of one of the apparent two new headliners we're getting over the next two years)

[Gucci Piggy]

But Lucky said it's easy cause there are no other options. So all the possible options are headlining. So if Biffy are an option they're one of the headliners. If they're an option but haven't ended up headlining then that totally goes against what Lucky said.

No it doesn't, Biffy are not an option if they've said no and turned them down are they.

If Andy wanted Biffy and they were game for it next year then they headline over BMTH without any doubt at all. Given lucky says Soni just can't get the headliners then they don't have them either, and as much as Andre would love them back at Reading after just 3 years it's not happening. There isn't a band that can be associated with it being their time to headline as much as Biffy for Glastonbury I don't think.

[lightning1000]

The only reason I said Bmth and Biffy aren't headlining is so you'd stop arguing about them/discussing them in the thread. Aah well.

Wow what?

They're both headlining afterall! Gazza knew it all along!

Could be the heavier headliner at V. 3 years since they last headlined Reading, 5 years since they headlined Sonisphere, never headlined Download before.

Well why waste your time?, it's a 2016 headliner discussion thread, I'm hardly likely to talk about who's closing the Acoustic Tent at Glastonbury on Saturday night am I lol.

 

It doesn't need you to even make up Biffy aren't headlining for it to be true, you may be purposely incorrect about BMTH though.

 

Wow what?

 

It's above, there is no need for what lol.

hmm maybe, but even V's rockier headliners these days tend to cater more towards the 'lad' crowds which i'm not sure Biffy do. think they'll just repeatedly book The Killers, Kasabian, Kings Of Leon and Arctic Monkeys

 

i'd say Biffy are a high contender for Download, along with two older metal bands

Let me rephrase. They definitely AREN'T headlining. I told you they weren't so you'd move on to discussing people that could potentially be headlining but the argument carried on anyway.
