Thrice are brilliant. they seem a strange pairing with Refused but I would still have gone if I could. I can't ?

Yeah, when the tour was announced I did think that it was a strange pairing but I love both bands so not a problem.

Funnily enough, despite mainly going for Thrice, the new Refused album has made me look forward to seeing them just as much.

Made a 2021 lineup based on the trend of "playing it safe".

• Slipknot! Who couldn't wait to return and play more songs off "We Are Not Your Kind"!
• Def Leppard! Who were kindly asked to return after Copping couldn't get Rammstein!
• Aerosmith! On their final final tour! 

Spread across the weekend are other recycled bands who everyone has already seen!

Kiss 12.6. @ download

Korn 12.6. @ idays milano

???

p.s. Korn is last day sub headliner before SOAD

Yeah idays was announced after I posted that. So yeah they are probs on sunday then. 

[gabrielomachado]

what i guess about logo bands

headliners: Kiss-Iron Maiden-SOAD (duh)

Deftones subbing Iron Maiden

Korn subbing SOAD

Disturbed 3rd down on SOAD day

The Offspring headlining 2nd on KISS day

Gojira 3rd down on Maiden day

other "logo bands" who  can be announced: Faith No More, Alter Bridge, Five Finger Death Punch, Judas Priest, Nightwish, Megadeth, Steel Panther, Volbeat, Mastodon

[Andre91]

I think we will end up with this: 

KISS / Volbeat / Mercyful Fate 

The Offspring 

Iron Maiden / Deftones / Killswitch Engage 

Gojira (finishing early) 

SOAD / KoRn / Disturbed 

Steel Panther

After the uproar this year caused by Tool Slayer clash one would hope they have learned their lesson and wont clash metal bands, so no Gohira v Deftones.

SOAD, Volbeat and Disturbed would be much better.

judas priest are headlining bloodstock along with devin townsed and behemoth. the last two are exculsive uk shows for 2020. does this mean we still have a chance for judas priest at download this year?

I would absolutely say that Judas Priest won’t play Download next year.

Agree with that.  If they headline Bloodstock I don't think there's a chance they'll be at DL.  Priest will probably play their own dates at some point in 2020 or maybe with Ozzy, depending on his health.

[Spiral_Low]

Hmmm Nightwish have announced dates for next December (as in 2020). Rather like Halestorm announced their UK dates far in advance too, and then eventually got announced for Download.

It's so annoying when bands announce dates massively in advance. I bought Skindred tixs a month a two ago for Nov and it was only when I was mid-way through paying for them I realised it was actually for 2020. Since then they had announced a few more UK dates this year but just not near me.

i really want to disagree cause i really want to see them this year but am afraid you are going to be right

[gabrielomachado]

Priest are headlining every festival they're playing next year, i think that's why they choose to do Bloodstock instead of DL again

I think they do ot when they have summer fests lined up - Skindred at Bloodstock after all. I expect Nightwish as a sub or as a 2nd stage headliner.

Nightwish headlining second with no clash with Iron Maiden?

Expect all of these to be on the line up. Also what a quality tour!

These were recently announced as additions to Slam Dunk Festival 2020.

[Andre91]

Bring Me The Horizon, Nightwish, Heaven Shall Burn, Killswitch Engage, Babymetal, Bury Tomorrow, Thy Art Is Murder, August Burns Red and Motionless In White amongst the names announced today for Greenfield Festival the same weekend as Download. 

I think they’re all likely to show up other than BMTH (who I think will be at R&L) and maybe Nightwish who have a date at Wembley in late 2020 on sale (that didn’t stop Halestorm this year, though). 

Edited October 30, 2019 by Andre91

[Hart Attack]

With Priest effectively ruled out now, I could see Nightwish as the final sub.

[gabrielomachado]

ATM i'm thinking of

KISS / Nightwish / Steel Panther / Airbourne / Black Veil Brides / Saxon / The Dead Daisies

2nd: The Offspring / Billy Talent

_________

IRON MAIDEN / Deftones / Gojira / Killswitch Engage / Heaven Shall Burn / Static-X / The Raven Age / Thy Art Is Murder

2nd: Faith No More / The Ghost Inside

__________

SYSTEM OF A DOWN / Korn / Disturbed / Of Mice & Men / Code Orange / Knocked Loose / Daughtry / Ego Kill Talent

2nd: Babymetal / Motionless In White

Yeah I think it's a huge shame this isn't a stand alone tour. Definitely felt like it would be

[thewayiam]

Anyone know what's going on with tour dates for the European co-headline tour with Papa Roach and Holywood Unread?, no UK dates that I've seen as yet.

[gabrielomachado]

i'll never forgive download for putting KISS in a headline slot on the same year that Rage Against The Machine and My Chemical Romance reunited. not counting bands like Pearl Jam and Green Day touring in the summer
