I can’t see Architects being around. They have said time and time again they aren’t putting any sort of time frame on a new album and they haven’t really had much time off so I’m not expecting it. It would be a lovely surprise though. Rancid I don’t see happening either. They’ve been in Europe the last couple of summers but haven’t been picked up. Tenacious D is a scary thought considering they’re active again. If they were to play I think headlining second would suit them best. BMTH I’m starting to come around to a lot more. Andy said they had a firm offer out for 2019 last year and if the stories are to be believed that they bumped BMTH before then I could imagine it being them. The Metallica stadium stuff is interesting. I think that would put them out of the running at DL. I’m conceding defeat on the FFDP headlining next year. It should happen but what you said the other day about it being bad business makes sense really. I think they will sub. I’m going away to work on my own prediction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going away to work on my own prediction Admittedly I kinda engineered it into something that'd work out well for me. You may noticed I left out Ghost and Gojira, who I could see being Metallica's stadium tour supports. I don't mind Tenacious D. Would be fun for an early evening set. Watching them at headliner time would be bad though. I'm not really that clued up on Architects so just chucked them in as a large act that younger folk would enjoy, as the rest of my line up was quite old - they wouldn't necessarily need a new album to play but I guess if they're unlikely to be touring then that's that. Also I thought Rancid would be the kind of unexpected tour that happens a bit like AFI last year but it's just a shot in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gojira would be very likely to support Metallica. Ghost not so much. Ghost are on the verge of something amazing so I think they will be playing super high spots at European festivals next year. Architects will need a new album to play. By the time of the 2019 festival, AOGHAU will be 3 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mastodon instead of them anyway - it's usually some combination of the three following Metallica around. Or Babymetal. Again, not that clued up on Architects but it just seems like they haven't played on this album so it doesn't appear to be an obstacle. But yeah they could be easily replaced on the line up. Additionally, I think Queen & Adam Lambert are a better shout than KISS right now for a classic Sunday act but I keep forgetting about them. So next time I do a prediction, if somebody could remind me that'd be cool. Edited May 13, 2018 by dentalplan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukeas Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Hmmm, my predictions... Friday: Rammstein (been 3 years since they last played) // Five Finger Death Punch (New album imbound, they keep getting bigger, love them or hate them (I Love them) you have to admit they draw in a crowd) // Judas Priest (recently had a new album out, personally I don't believe they're big enough for the headline slot, they recently headlined Bloodstock so I believe 3rd is an accurate spot for them, although they subbed in 2015 so Priest and Death Punch could be swapped around imo) // Saxon (I would love it if Saxon played, just recently released a new album, and it would make a good little metal lineup for the Friday) Saturday: Metallica (All but confirmed at this point, they are even touring the UK at the time of Download, it's inevitable and I cannot wait!) // Slayer (Although I'm seeing them in November for their "farewell tour" I really believe they'll come back one more time for Download and would love to see the Big 4 play together! I boosted Slayer to sub as it will be their final Download appearance and I believe due to that they will be boosted to sub) // Megadeth (will have been 3 years since they last played) // Anthrax (if the other 3 return, I believe Anthrax are sure to follow, plus it has been 3 years since they last played at Download) Sunday: Queen + Adam Lambert (To my knowledge Queen have never played at Download and everybody loves Queen! This may just be my wishful thinking but I could really see Queen headlining!) // Tenacious D (They've recently confirmed a new movie and I assume that means new album, I can definitely see Tenacious D returning and they fit in with the more-rock-esque vibe of the Sunday at Download) // Slash ft. Myles Kennedy + The Conspirators (New album just announced, I could see a UK tour lining up with Download, I think this one is very likely), // Status Quo (nuff said.)

dentalplan Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Yeah I wouldn't be surprised by about half of those names appearing in the top 4 across the three days but it'd be alienating a lot of the youth. In two minds about Slayer now, they've got a big old tour laid out in front of them that would certainly fit their ending but it also has no explicit 'last UK shows' thing. But I do think the chances of any more 'Big 4' shows are gone now. Q+AL is definitely a headliner I can see happening. They're not afraid to play the heavy rock festivals and would be a big draw. Would have to be a watered down undercard for that day, like the one above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre91 Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 KoRn / Deftones co-headline has been mentioned by Copping before on either TNM or Jasta’s podcast. I think that’d go down a storm at Download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it'd 100% be obvious it was done for lack of other available headliners, but it wouldn't be a bad thing either if they fancied going down the co-headliner route.

dentalplan Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Nah it's just big talk from Copping. They'll both headline outright once the number of possible headliners drops into single figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with Corey sill byisy with stone sour I doubt the Slipknot album will be ready so they might not decide to tour/play. But depends, I would love to see all these bands.

The new Slash album has been years in the making and is apparently out this year so he's a safe bet to be touring next summer. Could end up at Ramblin Man however. Slipknot less so. They've given 2019 as a target release but I think, given that Stone Sour have been touring quite a lot as you say, it's probably late-2019 looking at a 2020 Download return.

Honestly not too sure, Deftones would be amazing right, they headlined a tour that played the Wembly arena the same place as SOADs "wake up the souls" tour and that was a big tour for them. Yet they still only sub at download? I don't have much faith in the English Audience anymore tbf. Hellfest pulls a better line up ever year than download and its sad the I think its the English audiences fault. EDIT: Looking back I feel deftones should have been pushed up at a similar time too slipknot. Also would like to QOTSA headline.

As with the Korn thing, considering they weren't even mentioned along with Parkway Drive and Architects I'd presume they aren't in this thoughts. I'd be confident they'll never be chosen to headline it and he knows fully well no other festival is going to nick them for a headline slot. Not surprised by the mention of Fall Out Boy, already subbed and apparently bigger now than then. I see that happening soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Third down main or headlining second stage is optimistic enough but subbing is just absurd considering the calibre of acts they'd be playing after and the other potential subs.
