Kerrang tour generally is 'pretty odd'. I went to two dates last year and it was half empty both dates because people were either turning up late to catch WATIC and Don Broco or leaving after Bury Tomorrow and Beartooth

[DomDom1984]

Personally, I like the idea of something for everyone.

[Andre91]

Bury Tomorrow were incredible on last years K! Tour and even better at Leeds this year. I really hope they get bigger and bigger because they are bloody amazing at what they do, talk about a polished live band.

Seems sabbath aren't playing either Download France or Download UK or neither.

[DomDom1984]

Based on what? Them playing a festival the week after?

[Andre91]

Just saw AC's tweet saying that all three headliners are now booked. I know Lightning said that BMTH aren't headlining, but I'm choosing to ignore that in the blind hope that they have been given the push up but I'm choosing to trust his Volbeat info at the same time.

Black Sabbath

Bullet For My Valentine

Stone Sour

The Darkness

All Time Low

Alexisonfire

Bring Me The Horizon

You Me At Six

Disturbed

Papa Roach

Volbeat

Lindemann

Iron Maiden

Deftones

Lamb Of God

Slayer

Limp Bizkit

Skindred

[DomDom1984]

I caved and got a ticket for Bring Me the Horizon for Glasgow. So now I kinda hope that they don't play so as there's a fresh one for me.

 

EDIT: And yes, I fully intend on breaking my Download virginity.

Bought my ticket today, just hope the undercard is decent as who I think is headlining does nothing for me at all

There's some other dates that are coming through for Sabbath but I don't think any are on DL weekend yet. I expect metalicbear to be right though as it's fully anticipated that they'll play Hellfest and that's gonna knock the chances of them doing Download France out.

 

This is from Ringrocker compiled from bits and pieces they've picked up about gigs so far:

THE END Final Tour 2016 

08.06.2016, Berlin (DE), Waldbühne 

15.06.2016, Zürich (CH), Hallenstadion 

17.06.2016, Graspop Metal Festival (BE) 

23.06.2016, Tons of Rock Festival (NO)

Can you give anything away? After doing Download for a day this year I'd quite like to do the whole weekend next year.

I didn't think tickets were on sale until Friday ?? Assuming we're still talking about DL here.

[thewayiam]

So Sabbath Friday, Maiden Sunday and a band for Saturday. Like the idea of Papa Roach, Disturbed and Volbeat all on Saturday.

is Download France going to include the same acts?

[thewayiam]

It's been said from what I have read that they may well have some different acts to each other.

[thewayiam]

There's a picture doing the rounds on Twitter and its apparently Sum 41 headlining the K! Tour.

Can I ask why the thought that PVRIS to play this was brought up?

[dentalplan]

Yeah I don't think it's been clarified about the headliners but I am pretty sure Andy said the lineup wouldn't be completely the same. They'll naturally have to change lineups between countries anyway.

[Andre91]

Creeper just tweeted saying that to clarify, they AREN'T doing the Kerrang! Tour, but have a big announcement of their own on Monday. Supporting Neck Deep on their tour?

[dentalplan]

I would love to hear less about the Kerrang tour supports yo.

Based on the fact that they don't appear to be playing back-to-back events. Which would mean they only have the Friday or Saturday free over Download weekend.

 

Which would mean they can only play 1 of Donington or Download France, or neither; bare in mind Download is also the same weekend as Nova Rock, Greenfield festival and Sweden Rock, they can't play all of them.

Because Kerrang loves them,hardly rocket science

So because other festivals are going on that weekend? Grand. Sad thing is, you even know yourself that they won't be at the festivals you mentioned because you know they're doing stadiums in the countries of those events. You just want people to say "oh they might do Sonisphere then".

[5co77ie]

gap on the 11th

[lightning1000]

They don't, I've given my mate the money today as I'm going to be away a couple of weeks before the fest so it'll be delivered to his house.

[thewayiam]

Okay okay lol, so are they still expected to play?

Dental don't feed him, he just wants that reaction. He knows and we know there isn't a chance on earth that they would have chosen Soni instead, nor with Maiden or any other band.
