That animal fella in the corner is a Behemoth by the way. Not sure who that is meant to indicate.

I searched for that zombie thing and it came back saying about 'Mayday', which unless it's a reference to an album title I can only think Mayday Parade.

If Smashing Pumpkins played they would sub or headline?

Headline. Just played a sold out (albeit only just) show at Wembley arena last Tuesday. Would be interesting to see how they adapt their production for outdoors.

I'll be massively shocked if they play. I think that religious ornament thing is a reference to Ghost.

I was at the show and that exact thing was there though. 

[gabrielomachado]

I like SP but really hope they don't headline ou don't even play. Now i'm really expecting Tool to be the third headliner. The other two will surely be Slipknot and a sunday old rock band (Def Leppard or Kiss)

Complete left field booking if that turns out to be correct and one nobody has been predicting

Couldn’t see anything to link Def Lep or Kiss

Agreement, they feel only just big enough for a headline and I'm not sure their new material has been high enough profile to push them to headline bove others.

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

If one of the pictures was Billy Corgan smashing a pumpkin with Download Dog, I'd urge caution about predicting them to play Download. They've never been ones for festivals like Download and they'd be headliner or nowt if they were to play, and I don't see Download giving them the headline slot.

What other old rockers would they get? No more Black Sabb, too early for maiden, ozzy, Guns. Bon Jovi is unlikely. Maybe ACDC?

Would they book slash and axl two years running? Unless Brian Johnson is back

I was meaning on the instagram pics 

[gabrielomachado]

Can't see a Download without an old rock band, would be too daring for them. I think Slipknot are almost 100% confirmed at this point, and Copping really teased Tool and Smashing Pumpkins, so one of those will surely be on the bill

True. Maybe we are looking at alter bridge but they bring out slash as guest and do world on fire

I thought maybe the zombie could be the undead... Hollywood Undead, perhaps? 

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.
