2000 Trees

[Gozpot]

I'd say both Skindred and Feeder are possible as that poster has them however i can only see one of the two alongside a larger headliner. Maybe someone like Brand New, The Offspring, Weezer etc.

Be interesting to see what happens here now that Shikari are presumably out of the picture. Not sure what happened with the exclusivity thing. Only thing I can think of is that Reading and Leeds weren't fussed about sharing Shikari with Slam Dunk where there's less emphasis on the headliner and it isn't as close to Reading and Leeds. Often see some bands crossover between Slam Dunk and Reading and Leeds I suppose.

Not really sure who will headline now though. 

What happened is that Shikari are too big for 2000 Trees, it would heavily go against their progress.

There isn't a chance!, it's a 4k capacity festival, they had Refused headline this time and in all fairness you could have forgot they even had their own tour going on not long ago. We are talking Reading sized lockup headliners/6th down at the highest on main stage. They only ask £40 for a day ticket and I don't even think it's that at the start.

Wouldn't say Slam Dunk is a particularly bigger festival than 2000 Trees

Well it is.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Wouldn't say there was much in it really. 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

I reckon LTA are gonna be one of the headliners.

I have a sneaky suspicion you may be right.

Would they be big enough? Twin Atlantic headlined last year and TA are a bigger band, surely?

This forum is odd sometimes on mobile. I'll repeat that and hopefully some letters will show up this time!

Twin Atlantic are probably a bit bigger but LTA's next tour is the same size (bar Scotland) as TA's biggest was.

Thought they were very underwhelming at Reading this year 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Yeah they were. Mainly down to Mike clearly shitting himself at being on main stage.

[Pop Punk Sucks]

That's the only concern I'd have. It's a smaller festival of course, but not really what you want to see from someone potentially headlining a festival.

Lower Than Atlantis have become the most vanilla, 'nice rock music for nice radio listeners' band going. They were utter crap at Leeds this year. Dull as dishwater. 

[huntyyy]

Ooh ooh ooh. What if architects headlined aswell as sub headlining the second stage at download???????

[Pop Punk Sucks]

Would be a very bold booking for them and certainly a lot more exciting than Lower Than Atlantis. LTA probably a better booking for their general demographic though.

Are At the Drive-In too big for this? Not an exclusive at R/L and, other than Glastonbury, this is where immediately sprung to mind for them

I think their fee might be too big. 

[rawaudioinput]

I imagine they'd be more likely to play ArcTanGent, it's the weekend before R&L so they'll be in Europe at the time

They'd fit at either though

Problem is I think it's a 3 day only whereas 2000 Trees does day tickets. I'd do it as a weekend but I wouldn't like enough. Saturday by far the strongest day this year for me.

[Andre91]

First announcement on February 1st. Any guesses as to who will be playing? 

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

Still thinking Lower than Atlantis as one headliner. Not sure about the other.

Rancid? Or BST exclusive supporting Green Day? I think the other headliner will be more down that Punk end of things.
