Tool and Pumpkins getting equal set lengths would be great. In essence they would be co-headliners. It’d definitely be a big selling point and perhaps done because of Tool having not been here in so long with no (announced) new material not being sure about their drawing power as a headliner in 2019. 

I’m almost certainly chatting bollocks but it’s the dream, that top two. 

Tool absolutely have drawing power. They're playing stadiums in Europe, and people are wacko about them here about as much. Would love to see someone tell either Maynard or William that they have to share the bill with the other's band, just cause they'd get their cowboy hat jammed up their backside. But no I don't see Smashing Pumpkins as a Download act at all, between WPC not wanting to play Download type fests and their fans being largely not a Download type crowd.

Anyway the zombie seems like a very particular zombie, and when I did the reverse image search it came up with this - http://www.halloweenasylum.com/mayday-mask.html - so I thought that had a specific meaning. I'm sure the boat and the plane are just generic references, mind.

I'd say Hollywood Undead are pretty likely, UK tour ends in May right?

[gabrielomachado]

What we're really going to get tomorrow? I thought it was only the first headliner but with all those hints by copping i think we maybe can get a little more. Maybe like 2017 when all the three headliners +10 bands were announced at the same time?

There's a thing of the band of sunday being a old rock band, was that way in every year since 2014 except maybe for 2016 when Iron Maiden wasn't the oldest headliner

Could Tool potentially be the "old" headliner or would they stick to classic rock/metal?

Ok so today I mainly got tattooed and the went to a funeral. My pished self is saying Tool, Slipknot Rammstein,. This conflicts with stuff I got tellt. Stuff I got tellt is usually but not always accurate. I'm hoping pished me is right. I reckon I'm not buying pints for sure.

Disturbed defo wouldn't be below that 2nd line of bands either way.

[JSmurphy]

Slipknot, Kiss and Def Leppard is my last guess.

[Lukeas]

Last Prediction before the announcement:

Fri:
Slipknot // Slayer // Trivium // Ice Nine Kills // Code Orange // Power Trip

Papa Roach // Slaves 

 

Sat:

Bring Me The Horizon // Five Finger Death Punch // Architects // Beartooth // Clutch // Skindred

Slash // Tremonti // Alestorm // Amon Amarth // Korpiklaani

 

Sun:

Def Leppard // Whitesnake // Greta Van Fleet // In Flames // Fozzy // Jasta

Korn // Behemoth // Burn the Priest // Alien Weaponary // Wolves at the Throne Room

Slipknot, Rammstein and, erm, fuck it, Bon Jovi.

Smashing pumpkins aren’t my thing, so would want a decent 2nd stage against them.

I agree, wouldn't mind Korn headlining second stage instead of them.

[Red Day]

Slipknot seem to be nailed on. Smashing Pumpkins have appeared from nowhere and would appear to be a fair bet. Third headliner, I’ve no Idea.

I'd be very disappointed if Smashing Pumpkins headline

I’d be totally underwhelmed. Probably watch them if nothing else on. Think I’m going to be pretty disappointed in headliners. Hopefully a decent undercard and options on other stages when main stage headliner on

What day would they play? Slipknot is all but confirmed and I assume they'd occupy the Friday slot. Classic Rock act is normally for the Sunday. I honestly just don't see Smashing Pumpkins playing, it seems too out of nowhere.

You could be right.  From the Instagram pics last night a few folks seemed to suggest they used one of the pics on stage.  I'd guess some dross for the Friday, Slipknot Saturday and if it's SP's they'd be Sunday.

Ah well, I'll be going no matter what. If Slipknot and korn play that's me sorted for the weekend.

Here's hoping

[Andre91]

The guy who provided the Tool information yesterday has said that they’re binned Grasspop and are only doing Rock am Ring an their own dates now. 

Hopefully it’s been misinterpreted and they’re at DL...

Tool / Green Day / Slipknot.

 

Tool seem likely to do something now there lawsuit is over. A Download date is their most viable non-stadium option in the UK.

 

Mike Dirnt has codedly just announced on Instagram something is happening with Green Day today.

 

It's the 20th anniversary of Slipknot and 10th anniversary of their first headliner, it's hard to see them not playing. 

Mike Dirnt hasn’t really. He captioned an Instagram post with ‘bring on Tuesday’ which could mean absolutely anything  

[thewayiam]

So basically no chance Tool give a fuck.
