I guess because Download's never booked them before so no reason why they'd start doing it now? Although as far as them branching out in to pop/punk for a headliner then they're undoubtedly the act who'd go down best with the Download crowd. Also will they still be touring next year? Seems like this year would've been the time to book them if they wanted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the only thing that came to mind was they'd be finished touring now, but what better time to get them than now when Kerrang is actively booking more Kerrang! type bands than ever?

I like it. I'm expecting him to sub for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Manson song is alright but hoping for better on the album. Once again, his talk of it being a mix of Antichrist Superstar and Mechanical Animals seems a little unfounded - sounds like most of what he's been releasing in his late period, really.

seant007 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 If you think about it in 2008 the offspring headlined so it would make a lot of sense for green day, another punk headliner, to take over 10 years after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm sure they tried to book them and were beaten out by BST, but ultimately they're unlikely to hit Europe at the same time again next summer. I would imagine they end their tour when the current dates wind up. 7 minutes ago, seant007 said: If you think about it in 2008 the offspring headlined so it would make a lot of sense for green day, another punk headliner, to take over 10 years after. It'll also be twenty years since Americana, so Green Day could play Americana in full to commemorate both occasions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seant007 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 when Metallica come will they bring their own stage or will they play on the download stage? They do have a hardwired stage built for some of their open air shows, but would they bring this to donington if they play there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Weren't Foo Fighters originally lined up to headline over The Offspring in 2008 but it didn't work out and The Offspring were bumped up? Or something to that effect. The Offspring never seemed right as an all out headliner, anyway. And much like Foos, I'm sure Download will've gone for Green Day numerous times over the years but they've decided to go elsewhere. Unlike most Download headliners, those acts have multiple other options in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foolee Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 What are the big heavy festivals in the UK and Europe?

Well yeah, but they also played pretty much every other European festival that would have them this summer. Why would they come all the way to Europe next summer just to headline a UK festival that they have repeatedly decided not to play for the last decade, including last summer when they were playing every European festival under the sun. They chose to play BST instead so I see no reason why they'd come back over on this album cycle.
