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.

 

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.

 

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

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.

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

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

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)

    • Very probable. I was a bit surprised by the crowd I saw in the video they drew, and I say that as a big feeder fan. I thought they’d draw a really good sized crowd but it looked rows deep. Chuffed for them though. Still think they’re a great band after all these years.  Rumours at they’re doing a Polythene tour next year too. 
    • It sounds like Feeder drew a crowd too big for that stage originally. Given the time period they haven’t appeared at Download as well it's a nostalgia thing. Halestorm vs Feeder wasn't the most ideal but leaving after either to get out would have been sweet at least.
    • You cant see everything unfortunately, it would be Halsey there for me 100%, the last 20/25 of Gorillaz. Halsey would be my non negotiable act on that day myself. Oddly Bleech 9:3 would actually give me an option I wouldn't mind between 3:15pm and Halsey. Dogstar would only likely be a 10 minutes thing of I've seen Keanu lol.
    • I think the tent was just right for Feeder, on that day anyway.   If you had a Biffy-esque day again, or someone of that ilk (maybe Pearl Jam for example), whack them on that main stage. 100%.    As it is, I think feeder will be back and probably high up the second stage or main stage next year or 2028. 
    • I think we still have 2 acts to announce each day, maybe one more big name to complete the lineup?   Perhaps the big name is Turnstile on Thursday, which isn't sold out yet. And some other names that could be added like Iceage, Band of Horses or Tomora.
