Are people expecting Pumpkins to turn up because they're subbing Tool at that other festival or is there more to it than that? Not sure if I see it myself but it'd be a great booking.

Forgot the curators name but he did a post of pictures showing smashing pumpkins and that was a reason also...

If that prediction turns out to be right, I'd give it some serious thought. Especially if Enter Shikari were up against Pumpkins rather than Tool as I'd quite fancy not having to bother with Pumpkins.

That’s what I think we will end up with. 

Within Temptation clashing with Slayer leaving Slipnot unnaposed and I'd probably go. I don't see TSP subbing if they are reunited now which I've heard about but not taken huge notice  as not really a fan. Also I doubt they will pull off Tool and TSP playing.

Halestorm should be in there somewhere, surely. Their uk tour, which was largely sold out, is done now.

shinedown too, but then they only played this year. Same for bsc and monster truck who are here in December with the Cadillac 3. Which, incidentally, is going to be my gig of the year.

It would be very unusual for a band to come to Europe for just 1 festival. Plus the announcement is just after their album release.

They will play something in the UK of course. But supporting Tool at one show doesn’t mean that’s their whole tour - you would think that they are specifically supporting that show to help Tool shift a stadium’s worth of tickets in Italy.

I checked and they are playing a festival in Denmark a couple weeks before as well so that implies a European Festival tour. But yeah i'm sure they will do summin in UK if not Download.

This to finish before Slipknot and II'd get a day ticket, you can keep the rest lol. Aside though, Mike Shinoda solo I can't see...really don't think anyone would care.

I wished Greta back this year but i don't see it anymore. Guess they will play in 2020 on 2021 on a really prominent slot, they're just getting bigger and bigger

Friday does nothing for me, and Sunday looks kinda weak as well.

[gabrielomachado]

Not announced to any festival till now but what about Korn and Five Finger Death Punch? they used to play almost every summer in Europe and now Korn haven't done it since 2016, and FFDP with the new album have not even arena concerts or something. Can they be announced for next year?

korn are making their next album next year so i believe they can headline 2020, ffdp love them but they play at least 5 times in the last  8 years so  very unlikely.

I think Korn are a decent bet to headline 2020 aye. People started talking about them moving up alot more since their last album and as they are regarded as one of the better metal live bands* it makes sense to finally bump them up.

 

*of course everyone has their own opinions but generally they seem to always deliver

Code Orange already announced at bloodstock so not likely. 

Greta Van Fleet played last year so again, not likely.

Sunday seems very weak tbf.

Bloodstock have nothing to say that Code Orange are exclusive. GVF have a debut album to promote and have sold almost 7000 over three nights at the forum before that album had even been released. They’re getting bigger all the time so I don’t think consecutive years would be odd. The Sunday weak with TSP into Tool? Are you a mad man  ? 

[gabrielomachado]

Greta can play glasto or reading next year, then comeback to download in 2020 or 2021. Don't sure even if they're touring Europe next summer

[Steve1000]

I reckon Me First & The Gimme Gimme’s headlining a stage would suck. Have em mid main I reckon.
