Architects are the main support for the BMTH show, they are just waiting for their tour to finish in January to be announced. While She Sleeps are also playing. 

You think they'll play after RTJ?

Is this guesswork or is there genuine inside info on this?

Realistic guesswork since While She Sleeps aren't playing Download either. They'll probably do Download Madrid though.

I hope they have NBT headlining the second stage so Architects and RTJ don't clash. I can't even go like, but y'know.

Someone on the DL forums said that the supports are definitely those two plus NBT a couple of weeks ago and seems adamant that it is those two. 

Jordan from BMTH has tweeted that they have some UK bands coming in the second announcement that are mind blowing so I think those fit as they’re two of the best live bands the UK has when it comes to heavy music. 

Also I think RTJ will clash with Architects.

Given Slayers tour announcement today and the tours they have already been doing say high chance the saturday will be something like:

Slipknot, Slayer, Lamb Of God, Anthrax, Amon Amarth with maybe some from Canibal Corpse, Testament, Obituary, Behemoth below them. 

[gabrielomachado]

Deadland Ritual (with Geezer Butler from Sabbath, Matt Sorum from Guns N'Roses and Steven Stevens from Billy Idol) self-confirmed for friday  

[strangerkings]

Just a heads up:

Halestorm, While She Sleeps, Within Temptation, Architects, The Fever 333, Don Broco, Arch Enemy, Papa Roach... aren't playing Download UK. Basically all the "heavily" rumoured bands.

Seems like a "now DIS is real metulz" line up for older fans.

Hmm. Totally understand if you don’t want to and totally get I’m cheeky by asking this but if you could PM me and share what you know, that’d be a wonderful thing

I reckon the Slipknot day is going to be properly heavy and a straight up metal day: 

Slipknot / Slayer / Rob Zombie / Behemoth / Amon Amarth / Cannibal Corpse / Whitechapel / Power Trip

Whats your logic for Rob Zombie dropping to 3rd and Lamb Of God not being below Slayer? Going be previous years posters it indicates Rob Zombie is a 2nd stage headliner (consistent with his past positions of either subbing main or headlining 2nd) and Lamb Of God either 3rd main or 2nd on 2nd. And given Lamb Of God are like constantlt playing before Slayer atm inc at Hellfest why wouldn't they do at Download?

Shame. How do you know 100%?

Are they saving them for 2020?

Festivals don't "save" bands for the next year. You book what's available to you. This year all of those bands either received better offers or didn't fit in with what Download wanted to book, so they made other plans.

From what i've heard all the foreign bands had a falling out with the Download UK organisers and likely won't play for a few years at the very least. The British bands simply just don't want to do it. Next year maybe but I doubt it.

I believe that Zombie has (or had) the Saturday of DL down on his tour dates on his official site so that's what I've based it off of and Slayer are obviously going to sub over Rob Zombie. 

Lamb of God are a logo band so that means they are at least a third down main or a second stage headliner (but more likely a sub) and I don't think they're big enough to play third down.

Papa Roach have but seems a fairly baseless accusation for Halestorm

Rob Zombie's website says friday Download, sunday Nova Rock. 

Lamb Of God are just 'as big' as Volbeat, Thunder and Shinedown, aka last years 3rd on bill.

Which year did Limp Bizkit last play? New album next year and they're in Europe in June

They've not fallen out with Live Nation as majority of their UK tours have still been sponsored by them, they've just made it fairly clear to them they'd rather do their own shows or play R+L as the overall package is better. Think they were in talks to play DL in both 2015 and 2017 when they were over for summer fests but instead opted for their own shows.
