Aerosmith, Ozzy, AC/DC won’t have long left. Metallica have already vastly reduced the number of shows they play in a year and I would bet money on them not continuing into their sixties.

Good point, though I think we’ll see Metallica for a while yet. Also, Ozzy and AC/DC (who haven’t said they are retiring yet) have only headlined once each since Download returned about 15 years ago so their retirement isn’t leaving a massive hole in the headliner pool.

I’m genuinely of the belief that we probably won’t ever see Metallica at Download again. It’s been almost 10 years since they last headlined and they seem very happy to do their own arena and stadium shows. I think we’re more likely to see the at R&L again before DL.

Alex Winstone Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I am hoping one year Enter Shikari sub one day but I can't see it, even know they probably would knock it out of the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see that as a big draw for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 FR starts to talk to potential Reading headliners years in advance and would be a career-making gig. There is no way that All Points East would have convinced them out of a Reading headline slot because of an opportunity to play with the Architects. It’s because no one else wanted them to headline.

I didn't say reading wanted them to headline. matt42 was saying there was a standoff between reading and bring me the horizon that means they aren't booked anymore but i think they would have preferred to headline all points east as an exclusive than sub headline reading again.

Also re Travis and BMTH co, theres basically no point as Travis will sell out his day easily he is in such high demand right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad888 Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 (edited) Rage wont be active. They were pretty much active to coincide with Trumps re-election. Plus the Sunday tickets did not sell as they thought. I guess GCSE leavers dont vibe with them in the majority. I can see FR getting RHCP back in for the Sunday and another act to co with LG. I reckon it would be Dua Lipa if shes active. Or maybe spending the money saved from Rage on Travis Scott and DL subbing Stormzy.

Majority of their set was "fuck trump". I believe there appearances will be primarily their tour, leaving out festivals. Plus, as much as FR want their festival to represent RATM style rhetoric, and "fuck the system" rock bands. The crowd just isnt that. They're the 15 16 year old spotify Supreme hoody and iPhone generation that want to see Travis Scott, Post Malone etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly a novel point but predicting what August 2021 is going to look like is pretty difficult. This could be a problem of the past or still a really pressing issue. 49 minutes ago, Chad888 said: Rage wont be active. They were pretty much active to coincide with Trumps re-election.
