Are The Killers on a comeback? I'd agree with The Strokes, except they've not reaply got any bigger since 2011, and they only co-headlined then. I'd love them to play though.

Not sure if you can call it a comeback but they're in the studio recording a new album which you'd presume would be available before next years festival. I think if the album is taken to more than their last, they're in with a shout. I can envisage a R&L audience lapping up Mr. Brightside / Somebody Told Me / Smile Like You Mean It / When You Were Young / Human etc. Having said that I wouldn't be all that surprised to see them at BST either.

I think they'd be great. I'm not really that much of a fan but I've heard they're really good live.

You Me At Six nowhere near as big as BMTH. Would be farcical to see them co-headline alongside them. Although we did get Biffy and FOB...

Currently, yes. Assuming that YMAS are about to have as big a year with their new album as BMTH did on the release of Sempiternal and TTS then they could well be up there. It's not ridiculous considering people are also throwing Royal Blood in the mix to sub or even co-headline. It would sell tickets if both YMAS & BMTH were to be exclusive for UK events as YMAS have sold out the O2 (albeit with ATL) which is a similar situation to BMTH when they did Wembley Arena in 2014.

The 'intimate' tour they announced started the other day and they only sold out half the venues, with practically all shows reselling for under face value. I must have mentioned it half a dozen times so sorry for being repetitive about this but there's just no chance they're headlining and this is the signal of a band on the way down - it's pretty similar to what happened with BFMV on their last album actually.

I think they're a good shout for NME headliners but they certainly won't be headlining main, probably won't be subbing and would definitely place below Royal Blood in future events.

My bets on potential headliners:

Greenday(New album they have to play Leeds)

Killers (resurfacing)

Kings of Leon (new music)

Kasabian

Guns n roses (my bets on them playing download or glastonbury though)

Possibly a co headline from bands such as royal blood and Kaiser Chiefs 

Bands which I think will definitely be there elsewhere:

Catfish and the bottlemen 

wombats

 

Bands which I'm hoping will play and I have a feeling deep down they may:

Stone roses

Blink182

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
