They'd be big with the pop crowds and the rock crowds, and family friendly all the while. Feels stupid to predict BST this far in advance because it's just an outdoor gig but it's making its mark as a proper fest with sought after headliners. And the pool of major fests is dwindling hard.

I agree, as if Queens of the Stone Age don't headline Download or Reading there isn't a UK festival for them, and A7X only have Download. I can't see people like A7X just touring an album for a year and doing 1 UK tour, they'd usually put festivals into it or stadiums but as A7X aren't big enough for that they're kind of stuck with Download and arenas. Then you have got Bring Me The Horizon and Royal Blood to contend with as well as potentially Green Day still touring Revolution Radio/Blink-182 touring California (although not so much because of Travis and his flying or lack of) and Foo Fighters coming back.

Dont see Killswitch Engage doing main for the third time in six years. Even for Download that is overkill. I dont think Volbeat will sub either. Subs either need to be "legends" or arena bands. Volbeat are a support at arena tours at best. Ghost are a bit high. They'll get a good slot though. Doubt Trivium will have a new album out by then and not sure why they would come back without one. Amon Amarth will prob do second as well. Second looks good although maybe lacking in metal. Doubt Twin Atlantic will get the same slot again so soon also.

I was gonna go with KSE on the second but they don't fit against anyone. Volbeat is just a thought I had with them sometimes having a really bafflingly weak sub. Ghost and Gojira quite often appear together and with Metallica because I think they're managed by the same company or something so it's quite regular they (and Mastodon) play the same day at festivals. There's a similar Metallica and Volbeat connection too but not as common. That's what put that day together in my head really, but I'm not married to the idea. I'm not so sure abut Evanescence subbing. If they're headlining around Europe they'd probably just continue not playing UK fests. Thirty Seconds to Mars is a good shout I hadn't thought about but they could be due a bump down to 2nd stage header. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Korn did it though. Could imagine Babymetal subbing Metallica. Stone Sour subbing QOTSA is awful though - I would certainly hope Ten D were clashing with Stone Sour and the stage ended early.

However, dont see Disturbed coming back so soon or moving up a slot. Saxon and Crossfaith are both definitely too high. Are Modestep coming back? Babymetal will probably do Reading again before Download. Anthrax are too high. Slaves will prob do second if they do Download. Young Guns are too high, they've lost tons of momentum. Stone Sour would be a great sub but seems too high. Architects are a bit high. Neck Deep twice? Either slot fits though. Unfortunately dont see Tenacious D coming back. Assume Die Antwoord will have finished their tour by next year and imagine wouls go wlsewhere if they do tour. 2 hours ago, dentalplan said: They do recycle acts in the same slot quite frequently tho don't they?

Thirty Seconds to Mars is a good shout I hadn't thought about but they could be due a bump down to 2nd stage header. Indeed they do recycle slots alot but again that many times seems alot. Cant think of any bands that have done it THAT regularly. I could understand if they moved up the lineup but the same slot I doubt. Evanescence have actually ended up sub headlining Graspop. Think if they can sub there they would sub Download. Especially since next year will probably be the album tour as doubt it will be out soon enough for fests this year. 30stm on second makes sense but may still be considered too strong for that. If they end up headlining Rock am Ring again I think they'll do main at Download. 1 hour ago, Andre91 said: Paramore / Enter Shikari / Parkway Drive / Architects Ghost Avenged Sevenfold / Limp Bizkit / Lamb of God / Trivium Alice In Chains Metallica / Babymetal / Black Stone Cherry / Gojira Panic! at the Disco Unfortunately dont think ES will have the momentum to sub next year.

thewayiam Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Linkin Park have sold out standing already at Nia, MEN and The 02....I would guess the majority of not all the main seating. Can't see past them as a headliner next year and them doing their own dates it own Download didn't have this year. Metallica, Linkin Park and the 3rd up for grabs. Reading will grab FF, BMTH and 2rd up for grabs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but they are all at the back bit's in the gods or right at the side front where you are virtually behind the band. everything else has gone. Either way they have been on proper sale for nearly two days only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gozpot Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 QOTSA / Evanescence / Parkway Drive Limp Bizkit Metallica / Judas Priest / Lamb Of God The Offspring Tool / Deftones / Marilyn Manson Enter Shikari Tool being hopeful, realistically will probably end up being A7x or BMTH.

Smashed Pumpkin Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Dream headliners for me would be Metallica, Smashing Pumpkins and Tool however i'm not sure if the Pumpkins would headline nowadays and as for Tool that's a pipe dream every year.

Pop Punk Sucks Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Not too bad. Interesting placements with Twenty One Pilots and You Me At Six. I wonder if Twenty One Pilots would sell enough tickets for Download to warrant a sub headline slot. Think You Me At Six headlining 2nd would be right for them but could see a Bullet type situation where they think they're better than that slot.

(Pardon the basic font, I couldn't find the proper one. The illegible logo is Parkway Drive) Love it. I'd be pleased with that, for sure. However, I think that R&L will get 21P. Parkway third down is perfect but I can't see them having another album ready in time as they're still touring IRE now. Architects with a new album could also play third at DL, I think. Also, Lamb of God aren't doing anything for a while, Randy said he and the rest of the band just want some time off for a bit. Ghost are going to blow up something ridiculous, so I could see them headlining second or even playing as high as third down by next summer. Other than that, I think it's a great shout. Headliner wise I'm going for BMTH, A7X and Metallica the same as you, with Ghost, Alice In Chains and Panic! at the Disco headlining second.

Yeah I'm totally not as clued up as who's touring or preparing what, I could only name the last album by half of those bands. And now I think about it, the Architects lads were on about going on a break soon too. But yeah I guess sometimes you get surprised by who is and isn't touring. Forgot Ghost would probably be due another album; Meliora doesn't seem long ago at all. But idk, Mastodon are still in 4th position and as far as heavy metal goes I feel like they're one of the best known modern outfits. 39 minutes ago, Pop Punk Sucks said: Not too bad.

Yeah YMAS said something about it being stadiums for them next and that they're waking up telling themselves they're gonna play MK Bowl and the Emirates. I'd assume at some point over the next few months it'd dawn on them that it's something that's never going to happen and they should grab on to major fest slots so to not fall off the face of the Earth like Bullet did. Twenty One Pilots would probably sell tickets to anywhere - going off R+L last year it's not like their fans seem to care who else is on the bill. It strikes me as a passable sub booking that FR could do with much moreso at Download than at Reading, and I imagine it'd fit into their other touring plans a lot better too if they do all the big European events.

Their stage show really lends itself to complete darkness. They'd be a great booking opposite a younger / lighter headliner, such as BMTH or Paramore.
