Pierce The Veil maybe I don't know hopefully they're not big enough yet. Good Charlotte aren't big enough are they surely? Can see them doing the same slot as BFS did this year or sub but not headline 2 hours ago, Steve1000 said: Are ADTR that significantly bigger than Shikari? I don't think it's impossible they'd get a Download/Reading sub sized band since Shikari could get away with playing there ADTR and Alter Bridge will headline download soon btw I'd say so. Shikari have just kind of not really grown that big in a while while ADTR have been on the rise for a while. But with that being said I feel like Shikari wanted to do Slam Dunk just because it was the TTTS shows 2 hours ago, LRDJ said: I pray that PTV and SWS don't come near the festival tbh. What about Falling In Reverse? When is Ronnie's ban lifted (hopefully never)? If they were ever available they'd surely be a shout to play sadly, although I'd much prefer them to PTV and SWS. Would At The Drive In or Frank Turner ever be considered to play? My fingers are crossed for Jimmy Eat World as I'm not seeing them at Leeds and I think they'd kill it. I have Neck Deep down for headlining 2019 as long as this album doesn't flop (which it won't, even though I haven't liked any of the singles so far). Falling In Reverse can fuck off and never come to the UK ever. One of the worst bands in existence that needs to fuck off. And yeah ATDI aren't gonna play Slam Dunk and I don't think Frank will ever be booked either. Also people always on here keep on saying JEW every year but I just can never see it happening at all for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1000 Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I think Billy Talent will sub maybe do trees instead tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRDJ Posted July 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Okay so I couldn't sleep and love speculating so much that last night I decided to do a complete festival prediction.

Main Stage Jimmy Eat World PVRIS / Pierce The Veil / Sleeping With Sirens Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes Creeper Moose Blood Basement Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! Casey Pop Punk Stage State Champs / The Wonder Years The Story So Far Four Year Strong Boston Manor Knuckle Puck Trash Boat ROAM Gnarwolves (WSTR, Trophy Eyes, Turnstile pls) Alternative/Light Pop Punk Stage Lower Than Atlantis Against The Current As It Is SWMRS Broadside Can't Swim Microwave Homebound Chill Stage Real Friends The Front Bottoms/Mayday Parade Mallory Knox/Andy Black American Authors Sorority Noise The Gospel Youth Columbus Wallflower Heavy Stage While She Sleeps The Amity Affliction / Northlane Attila Code Orange Counterparts Being As An Ocean Astroid Boys Knocked Loose Napoleon (Secrets, ETID, STYG, TAS, DGD, TGI, Hacktivist, Deez Nuts, IKTPQ, Sworn In, Ghost Town, Issues, Loathe) Ska / Oldies Stage (no idea) Good Charlotte??

It doesnt matter what day your Royal Blood lineup is for thats gonna be a really bad day. I expect a new Arctics album out next april time at this point. If we don't hear about any new stuff by Christmas I think we can rule them out (though Eminem disagrees that bands need to put out new music before a fest) On 27/07/2017 at 9:55 AM, Andre91 said: I don't get the 30STM have dropped off argument. It comes up a lot in the R&L thread as well. They're still a big band and I'm confident they would still command a sub slot at a big festival like DL or R&L, so I don't think there's any way they would do Slam Dunk. I think 30 seconds to Mars could Co-Headline Reading next time there about with new material. They'll still be playing in arenas and filling thrm, I'm sure if it. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevieg1993 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Would Frank Turner work at SlamDunk? Seems to play every other festival going. But think i'd rather him bring back Mongol Horde Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pop Punk Sucks Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I think it would be a bold move to book Frank Turner to headline after the majority of the UK Pop Punk Group threw their toys out of the pram when he got announced as the UK Blink support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was such a fun day, but then again there's a new reason to argue every day in that group.

LRDJ Posted August 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 Seeing as Brand New apparently aren't breaking up and are only doing two tour dates over here they're now my bet to headline (fingers crossed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve1000 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 2018- Brand New 2019 - Don Broco 2020- Neck Deep/Creeper Co-headline heard it here first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DomDom1984 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 The new Brand New album is absolutely jawdropping stuff. If they get the headline slot, I'll be there with bells on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1000 Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 I think it'll be one of Brand New, Architects or ATL They should have left Broco this year and have them headline 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRDJ Posted September 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 These are the only headliners I can currently come up with, but of course there are dozens of other potential headliners (please offer some other suggestions). Jimmy Eat World (I'd personally put money on, but might just be people waiting for The Middle like at Leeds and Reading) - LIKELY Sum 41 (last tour sold out as far as I'm aware at academies, I think it'd be a popular choice but slightly small) - EVENS Brand New (incredibly well received latest album and miniscule tour, would be an incredible booking) - EVENS Good Charlotte (December academy tour has sold very well, would be fairly small though and I think will do the stage BFS did) - UNLIKELY Parkway Drive (fairly limited appeal but would be pretty strong) - UNLIKELY Architects (only doing one UK show is a little odd imo, but probably just to sell out its large capacity) - UNLIKELY Thirty Seconds To Mars (Surely too big and unlikely Jared's ego would allow it) - UNLIKELY All Time Low (Poor latest album and arena tour beforehand, will most likely headline in 2019 imo) - VERY UNLIKELY Bullet For My Valentine (No) - VERY UNLIKELY Weezer (HAHAHAHAHAHAHA) - NOT HAPPENING EVER Personally would have loved a Good Charlotte/Sum 41 co-headliner but that was the Download second stage last year. I think it'll be Jimmy Eat World or Brand New with someone horrific like Sleeping With Sirens/Pierce The Veil/Falling In Reverse/Asking Alexandria below them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand new would be amazing, I'm hoping it's them but I don't think they are mainstream enough to headline it. But I'd imagine they'll shift a decent amount of tickets. Got to agree with thirty seconds to mars. Sum 41 would be a good shout for a good sub but not sure if they're doing anything next year as the album came out last year did it not? JEW could do it, unsure if they are big enough though. Saw them at a couple of festivals last year too and thought they were quite boring so I hope not. 6 minutes ago, DomDom1984 said: Tbf, All Time Low are absolutely nowhere near big enough to fill arenas, so I wouldn't use that as a basis to judge. Exactly, they aren't going to announce headlining slam dunk when they've got arena shows to sell are they? And I don't think they will sell out so that'd mean not announcing the headliner until the end of March which isn't going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Brand New subbed by Jimmy Eat World would be incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve1000 Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 I don't think it matters having a niche headliner like Parkway or Architects or Beand New if you have someone uber-mainstream headlining second like say Pvris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
